' Due to either scorching or unfavorable conditions of transportation, find no fungous fruc- 

 tification. — Report of pathological inspector. Federal Horticultural Board. 



Forty-one shipments, comprising 115 cases, have been re- 

 ceived so recently that the inspector's reports on them have 

 not yet been turned in. 



Next spring the pines must be inspected for any specimens 

 of the pine shoot moth which may be present. This recent 

 importation from Europe has been found in a number of places 

 in this country, but it is hoped that it may be stamped out 

 before it obtains a foothold, and Massachusetts must do her 

 share in this work. At the same time, the trees will be in- 

 spected for the white pine blister rust. It is believed that no 

 cases of this disease are now present in any of the nurseries, but 

 vigilance will not be relaxed on this account until a sufficient 

 period has elapsed to make this absolutely certain. 



No white pines are now allowed to be imported from abroad.
