be made for the proper inspection of all
fruit trees and ornamental shrubs as well
as shade trees, both in private places and
public parks and streets, Cor injurious in

make this suggestion on account of recent
developments In West Indianapolis, where
the much-to-be dreaded San Jose scale has
found most congenial surroundings /
have visited that part OF the city several
times within the last few weeks and have
found this pest in its worst form on no
less than sixteen different private grounds.
and my last visit, on Oct. g. satisfied me
beyond doubt, that it is scattered all over
that portion of the city, and that heroic
measures will have TO be taken in order to
stamp il out.
Nor is it confined to the west side alone.

parts OF the city. So far as / have been
able to ascertain, IL is confined to private
