The tree surgery work was continued in charge of Mr. Roy G. Pierce. A
brief statement of the work here follows:—
Numerous requests for examinations of individual trees have been
received continuously up to the time of closing our work. These
requests have come from owners of individual lawn trees, owners of
cultivated orchard trees, and owners of wood lots or small forest
properties. When desired the owners or the gardeners were instructed
how to take care of the trees. This is the most satisfactory way of
handling this kind of work, since frequent examinations during the
growing season are necessary to keep the chestnut blight under control.
The owner, if well informed, may notice a diseased twig or branch at
any time and remove it before the infection has spread any further.
On request, the names of reputable tree surgeons have been given the
owners.
