38 MARYLAND MANUAL.

STATE HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
College Park, Md.
The State Horticultural Law was enacted by the 1898 Session of
the Maryland Legislature (Laws of Maryland, 1898, Chapter 289).
The law creates the offices of the State Entomologist, State Patholo-
gist and State Horticulturist. The following articles under Section
No. 1 of said Act will explain briefly the duties of the officers and the
scope of the work of the Department:
That a State Horticultural Department be established for the State
of Maryland; that its purpose is to suppress and eradicate the San
Jose Scale, peach-yellow, pear-blight and other injuriously dangerous
insect pests and plant diseases throughout the State of Maryland.
That the Professor of Entomology, the Professor of Vegetable
Pathology, and the Professor of Horticulture of the University of
Maryland and Experiment Station shall be the State Entomologist,
State Pathologist and State Horticulturist, respectively.
That the said Horticultural Department shall be under the control
of the Board of Regents of the University of Maryland and Experi-
ment Station, to whom the officers created under this Act shall be
responsible.
That it shall be the duty of said State Entomologist and State
Pathologist, their assistants and employees, under the control of
Regents of said University to seek out and suppress all pernicious
insect pests and contagious diseases hereinbefore mentioned as de-
structive to horticultural interests of the State, and conduct experi-
ments when necessary to accomplish that end.
The State Entomologist and State Pathologist are also required to
inspect all tree and plant nurseries in the State and issue certificates
of inspection to permit the distribution of such nursery stock.

All matters pertaining to orchard and nursery inspection as well
as cases of infestation or infection by injurious insects or plant
diseases attacking any crop in the State is taken care of so far as
means will permit by the members of this Department.

Apiaries and directed to conduct such inspection of Apiaries, and such
investigations and disseminate such information as may seem best
to promote the beekeeping industry in Maryland.
