Washington, D. C., August 30, 1906. 
Str: I have the honor to submit for publication a compilation of 
the laws and regulations now in force against injurious insects in the 
different States and Territories of the Union, for the information of 
persons engaged in the trade of living plants, and of horticultural 
and agricultural associations. To the compilation proper is added 
a brief account of the preliminary and annual meetings of the Ameri- 
can Association of Horticultural Inspectors from 1897 to 1905. I 
recommend that it be published as Bulletin No. 61 of the Bureau of 
Entomology. 
Respectfully, L. O. Howarp, 
| Entomologist and Chief of Bureau. 
Hon. James WIson, 
Secretary of Agriculture.
