Supplement to " Irish Gardening." 



A WARNING 



Mr. Munro Ferguson, M.P., giving evidence before the Irish Forcstr> 

 Committee stated : — 



"For the growth of many classes of Timber the climate of IRELAND is 

 the BEST in the WORLD. The growth of young Larch in Ireland is so 

 LUXURIANT that the plants are better able to withstand the disease .... 

 IRISH grown Larch is better than ANY that can be imported .... We 

 would be justified in prohibiting the importation of Larch plants from 

 GREAT BRITAIN and the Continent, and I certainly would stop imports.*' 



In a recent issue of "Irish Gardening*' this subject of Larch disease is 

 further commented upon in a strong manner by Mr. Archibald E. Moeran, 

 who states: — 



" In EVERY case of Larch disease I met with in Ireland the Plants 

 came from England or Scotland." 



If the Forester wishes to guard against this destructive and costly disease, 

 he is warned to plant only Irish grown trees, raised from Native seed, of 

 which there are plenty to be had in our Irish Nurseries. 



Should planters experience any difficulty in procuring trees as advised by 

 these experts, they may be glad to learn that in the Nurseries of Messrs. 

 Wm. Power & Co., Waterford, we recently inspected a large and magnificent 

 stock of native Larch of all sizes. We arc sure Messrs. Power would be 

 most happy to give quotations for any requirements. 



Webster's Foresters' Diary, dealing with Larch disease, says : — 



" From Ireland very few complaints have reached us. Irish Larch is almost 

 immune from attack."
