the hardest kind of seientific (icdd work of which I know, 

 requiring a careful preliminary training, that the minute pests 

 and fungi looked for may be recognized at once, under vary- 

 ing and often difficult conditions of light, and often in almost 

 every conceivable position, from the surface of the ground 

 to a heiofht of ten feet or even more. Under such circum- 

 stances, experienced men trained for the w^ork are difficult 

 to find ; and the State is fortunate in having been able to 

 obtain the services of such efficient deputies as have carried 

 on the inspection during the present year, giving up nearly 

 a month of their time to such severe labor, both physical and 

 mental, for so small a compensation. 



The following list of nurseries represents those now known 

 in Massachusetts. Doubtless there are others of which I 

 have as yet not heard, but the number of these must be 

 small. The list includes both those persons who are only 

 or chiefly nurserymen, and those who, though mainly florists 

 or in other occupations, have more or less nursery stock for 

 sale.
