Before closing, the following sugges¬ 
tion might be in order. Be careful about 
obtaining rooted plants from your neigh¬ 
bor. Many yards have plants that are in¬ 
fested with root knot, and other diseases. 
I have seen beautiful yards practically 
ruined because some kind friend, appar¬ 
ently in ignorance, had exchanged or giv¬ 
en a plant heavily infested with some dis¬ 
ease or other. The State Board law, re- 
quries all herbaceous material inspected 
before its removal. It is for your protec¬ 
tion not only in the case of root knot, but 
in other disease, which may be conveyed 
to your yard by some non-inspected plant.
