PLANT SHIPMENTS TO MICHIGAN. 



In reference to the Michigan law. 

 printed on page 326 of your issue of 

 Jan. 13. I mail you a letter from the 

 "Inspector of nurseries and orchards" 

 of the Michigan State Bo.-ird of Agri- 

 culture, which indicates that green- 

 house plants do not need inspection 

 when they are laheled as such. The 

 letter is as follows: 



"Lansing. Mich., Jan. 2S, 1S98. 



"Mr. E. Haentze, Fond du Lac, Wis.— 

 Dear Sir: As you have no inspector in 

 your state, a statement from Prof. E. 

 S. Goff, of the Experiment Station, 

 would be accepted. The express and 

 railroad companies do not have to hold 

 stock, but only to notify us of the ship- 

 ment when not properly laljeled. If 

 you label your greenhouse plants as 

 such, they would not need the inspec- 

 tion. Such has been our ruling re- 

 garding the law." 



PLANT INTRODUCTIONS OF 1898. 



The undersigned respectfully solicits 

 from all those introducing or having a 

 knowledge of the introduction of new 

 plants to the American trade for the 

 year 1898. such descriptions and infor- 

 mation as will be of assistance in mak- 

 ing up the complete list for the year 

 which will be published as a part of the 

 i-ecord of The Society of American Flo- 

 rists and Ornamental Horticulturists 

 as was done last year but in a more 

 comprehensive form. Address. Wm. J. 

 Stewart. Secretary. 67 Bromfield St., 

 Boston, Mass. 



FREE JACKKNIVES. 



An Iowa congressman received the 

 following pointed communication re- 

 garding government seeds. "Why 

 not let up on seeds for a while and 

 send jackknives? Everybody could use 

 them, and there would not be so much 

 waste. In that case radish seed would 

 not come up poor turnips, and the con- 

 gressman would be saved much ridi- 

 cule, which he now often gets."
