over last year, but as yet they are not
exactly up to standard. This is due
chiefly to excessive rainfall during the
past few summers, which has hindered
proper cultivation and care of the
plants and trees All nurseries in
spected were issued certificates upon
the first inspection, with one excep-
rtion. This nursery. however. was
cleaned UP during the summer and
upon second inspection q certificate
was issued.
"a great deal of time has been spent
during the past year In inspecting for
eign nursery stock and, practically, the
same number of shipments has been
received as during the preceding year.
Most of the stock comes from Holland.
as has been the case in former years.
and in spite of the war in Europe. our
nurserymen and florists continue to
buy an increasing amount of stock
from abroad. The plants, on the
whole, have been found to be excep-
tionally free from insect infestation
and diseases. One or two lots Of roses
were quite badly mildewed when un-
packed and one lot of scales, in late
fall shipment, was found to be quite
badly frozen. On the whole. federal
stock has been very satisfactory.
"The infestations of the San jose
scale have not materially increased
during the past two years. and with
the exception of the southern part Of
York county, the greater part of the
State is at the present time quite free
from this most dreaded orchard pest.
One important case was discovered
during the early part of the summer
in a small orchard belonging to Don
C. Seitz at Norway. This infestation
was brought to the orchard few
years ago on apple tree scions which
were grated into young trees on the
farm. The insects spread rapidly until
the time of our inspection. Several
of the trees were found to have been
killed outright, and others were so
badly covered with the scale as to
make it necessary to cut and burn
them. If this practice is continued
and a sharp lookout kept for infesta-
tions in the neighboring orchards, this
case can be kept under control"
