PLANT SHIPMENTS. 



Messrs. Patrick O'Mara, John N.May 

 and Charles H. Allen, representing the 

 New York Florists' Club, were given a 

 hearing before the senate committee 

 in Albany, N. Y.. on Wednesday, Feb. 

 23. on senate bill No. 420. amending 

 the laws of 1S93 and 1S95, entitled: 

 "An Act in relation to agricultin-e, etc., 

 relative to the prevention of dis-as3 

 in fruit trees, and pests that infect the 

 same," The nurserymen were als3 

 represented before the committee a..d 

 after considerable discussion both be- 

 fore the convening of the committee 

 and afterwards, an amendment offered 

 by the committee, as follows, was ac- 

 cepted: "Section .ii. That the provi- 

 sions of this act shall not appiy to 

 florists' greenhouse plants, flowers and 

 cuttings commonly known as florists' 

 stock." The bill will lie reported with 

 thi.s amendment, and will undoubtedl..' 

 become a law. 



An effort should be made and a I 

 once by the florists throughout the 

 country to have uniform legislation on 

 this subject. As pointed out in th ■ 

 previous report of the committee, 

 which has been published, they are of 

 the opinion that the vice-presidents of 

 the S, A. F, in the various states 

 should take the matter up at once. In 

 states where laws are already in force 

 bearing upon this subject, the florists 

 should unite in a consultation with 

 the experiment stations in an i ftort to 

 have the laws amended, or at least 

 have them interpreted as exempting 

 florists' stock. The example set by the 

 Michigan authorities can be cited b:^- 

 cause they have notified the transpor- 

 tation companies that florists' plants 

 will be received in Michigan without 

 certificates and without examination, 

 provided that the experiment station 

 is notified by the consignor and the 

 consignee, stating that florists' plants 

 are being forwarded. The example set 

 by the legislatures of the states of New 

 Y'ork and New Jersey and also by the 

 house committee in Washington in ac- 

 cepting amendments excepting florists' 

 stock may also be cited to strengthen 

 the position of the florists. Every ef- 

 fort should be made to have the laws 

 made uniform throughout the several 

 states. PATRICK O'MARA.
