CRITICISMS OF PLANT QUARAN- 

 TINE. 



Restrictions entirely uncalled for 

 and eliminations made sweeping and 

 universal by ignorance is the way the 

 recent ruling of the Federal Horticul- 

 tural Board at Washington appears to 

 the firm of Henry A. Dreer of Philadel- 

 phia. In a circular issued in protest of 

 the drastic regulations the firm calls 

 attention to what the quarantine will 

 mean not only to dealers but to the 

 public 



The Philadelphia Ledger also quotes 

 J. Otto Thilow of the Dreer store as 

 follows: "The ruling is entirely too 

 sweeping. It was made sweeping by 

 ignorance. The members of the board 

 thought roses were imported with soil 

 clinging to them. They did not seem 

 to realize the quarantine will exclude 

 from our country a great many choice 

 plants and shrubs. Most of them we 

 will not be able to reproduce here, for 

 we do not have suitable climatic condi- 

 tions. We cannot bottle the climatic 

 conditions of other countries and 

 spread them around plants we desire 

 to develop here. 



"The whole thing was launched 

 upon us very suddenly and very dras- 

 tically. There was no real need of it. 

 For the last fifty years roses have 

 been examined and fumigated both be- 

 fore they left European countries and 

 before they were permitted to enter 

 here, and all agricultural products 

 have been treated in the same way. 



"The members of the board are too 

 entomological. There is not one real 

 horticulturist ou it. What they should 

 have done was to have made the regu- 

 lations concerning inspection and fu- 

 migation more drastic. But, as It Is 

 now, not a thing that Belgium grows 

 can enter here. Ground which is 

 brought from Europe as ballast for 

 vessels is dumped at Girard Point in 

 the sunlight, where any number of 

 things might develop. :md no one says 

 a word about it."
