Certain information usually included in the annual nursery bul-
letin has been omitted this year. A summary of requirements for ship-
. ping nursery stock to other states, a list of important nursery stock
, pests together with recommended treatments, and a definition of terms
pertaining to the nursery trade can be found in Regulatory Series
Bulletin 41, published September, 19-l-t. Copies of this bulletin can
i be obtained from the Kentucky Agricultural lixperiment Station.
, The present bulletin contains, however, some current information
of great interest to the nurserymen of Kentueky, including a sum-
mary of plant pests found in nurseries during the past inspection
season, a brief discussion of some iinportant plant pests now demand-
ing attention, a list of nurseries, nursery dealers, and nursery agents
who received certificates and permits during 194-l-45, and a list ot`
out-of-state nurseryinen who qualified to ship nursery stock into
Kentucky.
· Some of the injurious insects and plant diseases found in Ken-
tucky nurseries during the year were bagworm, elm leaf beetle, oriental
fruit moth, euonymus scale, holly leaf miner. white pine bark aohid.
maple vein gall, woolly aphis, pine tip 1notl1, i1·is borer, strawberry
t crown borer, gladiolus thrips, cedar rust, phloem necrosis, peouy
blotch, fire blight, iris leafspot, pussy willow canker, gladiolus scab,
birch leafspot, and iris root rot. Red spider was also found.

were especially abundant this year. Though it is expected that the
conditions above mentioned will improve before the end of another
growing season, $01116 major troubles nevertheless are‘impending. ‘
Several of these will be discussed here. l
Japanese Beetle
During the sununer of 1944, 66,828 Japanese beetle traps were
set by thc Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine in the United
States—a 59 percent expansion of tlu· trapping program over 1943.
Trapping was done in 462 cities in 17 states. Beetles were captured
iu 112 localities, in 43 of which the number was great enough to war-
_ rant. soil treatment or quarantine action.
ln order to properly present the position of Kentucky with
rei`erence to possible Japanese beetle invasion, trapping records i "
i·1'()1ll states bordering the eonnnonwealth are given in the following
table} .

lt is evident from the records presented iu the foregoing table
that sonic of the infestations are beyond the point of practical control
or eradication by soil treatment. Such areas may be considered
proper localities for the application of state or federal quarautines.
There was no Japanese beetle trapping in Kentucky during the
1943 or 1944 seasons. Two infestations discovered in Louisville in
1937-38 were treated. Iiiinited trapping was continued throuuh the
1942 season with no established infestations discovered. Plans are
now undcr way for trapping in certain localities in l{eutucl1acr1oN or NURSERY Srocx, 1944-45 9 .
