nurseries should always be examined, and, if lousy,

It is best to be watchful of all destructive insects, 

 and where any of them are troublesome, change plants 

 and ground, burning the bed over after fruiting, and 

 plowing down. 



Let me suggest that plant growers establish the 

 rule of disinfecting all plants before sending them out 

 and guarantee the same to be free from insect pests 

 and fungi. A good deal of trouble, perhaps, but it 

 will pay, and to the one who first does this and lets it 

 be known will come the greatest profit. Thousands 

 of berry growers have ceased to buy plants lest their 

 plantations become infested with these enemies. One 

 word to the wise is enough.
