Chicago— Thf iliaiiRc |';i'K to over 

 coal (lays has put a damper on tli. 

 Bee<l business. The stores are not .•-' 

 crowded and clerks have time t- 

 catch up with their mall orders. 



Value of horticultural imports ini- 

 New York for week ending April L'l 

 1915 Is Blven as follows: 



Nitrate of soda, $400; fertili/.er>- 

 $5,460; guano. $1,700; grass seed. 

 $1,610; palm seed. $540. 



The joint regulations of the Seen 

 tary of the Treasury and of the Secr< 

 tary of Agriculture, made under th' 

 Seed Importation Act, approved Aug 

 24, 1912. are being revised with re 

 spect to sampling, examination oi 

 seeds and delivery in bond, release or 

 recleaning of shipment, the disposi 

 tlon of refuse from reileaning, the pro 

 hlbltion against the mixing of seed 

 found to be in violation of the Seed 

 Importation Act. notice of removal 

 from port of entry and the forwardinj; 

 of samples of all forage plant seeds. 

 The new regulations will go into ef- 

 fect on May 15. 



McHutchison&Co., New York, writes 

 that there is practically no doubt that 

 fall and spring shipments from Hol- 

 land will be made — and with the same 

 despatch as last season, but they must 

 book all orders "subject to arrival, 

 without engagement, and subject to 

 war conditions." while the war lasts. 

 The war in Europe prevents Holland 

 firms shipping to Germany and Bel- 

 gium and reduces exports to most of 

 the other countries. One result of this 

 condition is very low prices for next 

 season to American buyers, and gives 

 a fine opportunity to "stock up," as the 

 ocean freight rate from Holland re- 

 mains the same as in normal seasons 

 — no raise.

MAIL SHIPMENTS TO CANADA 

 REFUSED, 



Postmasters have received instruc- 

 tions from Washington to the effect 

 that hereafter no nursery stock, such 

 as shruljs, trees, plants, vines, grafts, 

 scions, cuttings or bedding plants, 

 shall be received for exportation 

 through the mails of Canada. 



The order also states that green- 

 house grown florists' stock, cut flowers, 

 perennials and other plants can be ac- 

 cepted for export to that country only 

 when accompanied by a detailed state- 

 ment showing the contents. The Can- 

 adian Government has already refused 

 several nursery shipments and a notice 

 to the department has resulted in the 

 new order.
