Nurserymen Condemn Virginia's Action. 



A committee of moiiilieis of the New 

 York Nurserynicn's Ass,Hi:il ion met at 

 the Yates Sept. II. \\ ii h ( . .\. Wieting of 

 the State Fair ( . iiiiMi--hiii. The meet- 

 ing was for the |.ni|">~.. ,,t ,l,^r\i~-]iv^ the 

 action of the AL'riruli m ,il 1 1. |i.m i mrni of 

 Virginia in rcfu-iTrj !.■ .i.linii imi-ciy 

 products from llci- ..i .iil],i ,i^ii,., with- 

 out a certificate from a known entomolo- 

 gist. 



The Virginia Board has made its de- 

 cision under the advice and direction of 

 Prof. Alwood, who is the entomologist 

 of the board, and has taken the action 

 with a view of keeping plants and trees 

 infected with scale or other parasites 

 from the State. 



At the meeting it was decided that 

 the action of the board in Virginia was 

 contrary to the interstate commerce 

 laws and that it was unconstitutional. 

 One of the committee when seen last 

 evening said that the New Y'ork Asso- 

 ciation would take exception and would 

 hold Prof. Alwood personally responsi- 

 ble for all shipments interfered with. 

 The committeeman said that in all prob- 

 ability a test case would soon be made. 



The case will be made upon the 

 ground that while any State has the 

 right to exclude diseased plants or ani- 

 mals on the ground of disease itself, it 

 has no right to interfere with regular 

 trade. All nursery stock of New York 

 State is subjected to the inspection of 

 the State Agricultural Department and 

 is officially perfect when it leaves the 

 State. This, the society will contend, 

 is sufficient to insure its reception in 

 any State unless actual disease or para- 

 sites are found. 



MILWAUKEE. 



Trade conditions are unsteady. A 

 week of continued rain kept buyers from 

 plunging, and as only actual require- 

 ments were bought, plenty of stock 

 could be had at low figures. Asters are 

 coming in heavy now, which relieves the 

 shortage of carnations. Good shipping 

 roses are about equal to the demand, 

 with plenty of seconds left for cheap 

 work. Smilax is extremely scarce, but 

 plenty of asparagus; but plumosus and 

 Sprengeri are in the market to help 

 out. 



Asheville vs. Milwaukee. 



Why all this continued argument 

 about defeated Milwaukee? The ma- 

 jority rules, and Asheville was the 

 choice of the majority, and to Asheville 

 we go. Cut Milwaukee out of the argu- 

 ment now; we're not in the running. 

 Our invitation was not backed up by 

 the amber fluid, and the loss of the con- 

 vention should not be charged to our 

 famous product, as a recent correspond- 

 ent insinuates. He probably comes from 

 Kansas. 0. C. P.
