court decided that the information filed 

 by the government against the defend- 

 ant, charging that a shipment of unin- 

 spected "deciduous nursery stock" had 

 been received for transportation, was 

 incorrect, it appearing that there were 

 no quarantine regulations or notice 

 specifying such stock. The court said: 

 "The statute itself does not forbid 

 shipments of 'deciduous nursery stock,' 

 which is the expression used in the in- 

 formation. It provides, in substance, 

 that the Secretary of Agriculture shall 

 promulgate regulations specifying, 

 among other things, what classes of 

 nursery stoc4v are subject to quaran- 

 tine, and that it shall be illegal for a 

 common carrier to receive for transpor- 

 tation ' any class of nursery stock speci- 

 fied in the notice of quarantine,' ex- 

 cept such as has been inspected and 

 certified in the prescribed manner. The 

 quarantine regulations in question in 

 this case were issued by the Secretary 

 of Agriculture June 24, 1913. 'Decidu- 

 ous nursery stock ' was not specified 

 therein, nor was the notice sufficiently 

 broad to cover everything that could 

 properly be so described." S.

 at Louisiana, and I went there May 3 to visit the 

 nurseries and see how the business was getting 

 along. I talked to my brother. E. W. Stark, 

 president of the rompany; my liephew, Lloyd C. 

 Stark, vice-president, and my nephew, Paul V. 

 Stark, assistant secretary, and also the other of- 

 ficers of the company. My conferences with them 

 were pleasant and agreeable. 



"While I was in Louisiana a constable handed 

 me a copy of what purported to be a petition and 

 summons to the Louisiana Court of Common Pleas 

 at the September term of tlie court. The so-called 

 petition was amusing and absurd. 



"When I left the Louisiana company several 

 years ago I went to Neosho, Mo., and some time 

 thereafter organized the William P. Stark Nurs- 

 eries 



"Far from making any effort to confuse the 

 public as to the two companies, I placed on my 

 letterheads the following: 'We have no connec- 

 tion with any company of similar name.' I fol- 

 lowed the same Idea In our catalogues, circulars 

 and all other forms of advertising. We have 

 never filled any orders at Stark City that were 

 intended for Louisiana.

"The policy of our company has been to at- 

 tend to our own business. Whether or not I have 

 a riglit to use my name in conducting my own 

 business is a matter for the lawyers and courts 

 to decide. I have always assumed that a man 

 could use his own name in bis own business. 



"In the suit at Louisiana the company alleges 

 that in our publications we have used the expres- 

 sion: 'You cannot forget our address — the town 

 is named after our nurseries.' It seems to me
