and his assistants to the enforcement 

 of such a measure. 



''Practically all of the European 

 ]iower8 have very stringent plant- 

 inspection laws, and, in the case of 

 the United States, absolutely prohibit 

 the entry of nursery stock. Apples 

 and other American fruits are admitted 

 only when the most rigid examination 

 shows freedom from insect infestation. 

 Canada and other important British 

 possessions have similar protective leg- 

 islation. 



"The United States is the only great 

 power without protection from the im- 

 portation of insect-infested or diseased 

 plants, and thus becomes a sort of 

 dumping ground for European refuse 

 nursery and ornamental stock. This 

 does not often apply to the importa- 

 tions of the larger and reputable im- 

 porting firms, but does apply to the 

 poorly-packed miscellaneous ornamen- 

 tal and other stock imported by de- 

 partment stores of large cities or that 

 sent to this country to be sold under 

 the hammer by auctioneers for what- 

 ever price may be obtained. 



' ' The immediate danger which led 

 to the recent effort to secure legisla- 

 tion was the discovery in 1909 or the 

 abundant importation and wide dis- 

 tribution into the United States of 

 nursery stock infested with brown-tail 

 moth nests and occasional egg masses 

 of the gipsy moth. During the years 

 1909 and 1910 such infested stock was 

 carried into twenty-two states, cover- 

 ing the country from the Atlantic sea- 

 board to the Rocky mountains. Dur- 

 ing the first of these years no less than 

 7,000 winter nests of the brown-tail 

 moth, containing approximately 3,000,- 



Giant Naximmn Daisies

 SbBsta type. Will produce half a million blooms
