Nursery stock for export was found, in many cases, to be grown in the vicinity of hedges and trees infested with the brown-tail moth and gypsy moth and other injurious insects not yet introduced into the United States, and no special precautions were being taken by nurserymen to prevent the infestation of this stock by injurious pests.
