NURSERY INSPECTION IN MINNESOTA. 
^ 1916 . 
The season of 1916 was favoral)le for the development of dis- 
eases and insects in the nurseries, the usually common pests being 
much more abundant than in most years. The Tussock Moth was 
especially abundant, and did considerable damage in certain nur- 
series. One of the red spiders was so plentiful in some nurseries 
as to make entire blocks of stock look sick, with leaves wilted and 
brownish. (In some cases the drouth helped to make this condi- 
tion.) The leaf hoppers, fall web worm, aphids on apples, plums 
and currants, poplar beetle on poplars and willows, snowy tree 
cricket on raspberry, blight on poplar, anthracnose on gooseberries 
and currants, leaf spot on currants, blight on apple, gray bark or 
spur blight, anthracnose and crowngall on cane fruits were some 
of the pests reported.
