 Jane 28 to 80, 1916. 



Many of the bay trees arriving at New 

 York are reported in bad shape, due to 

 the vicissitudes of travel in war time. 



The Holland-America liner Kroonland 

 arrived at New York May 19, minus the 

 shipping documents covering a consider- 

 able number of consignments of bay trees, 

 boxwoods and miscellaneous nursery 

 stock. 



rOR AMERICAN NURSERYMEN. 



A Spirit That Builds. 



A spirit of true cooperation appears 

 to prevail among members of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Nurserymen and 

 the attendance at the forty-first annual 

 convention, to be held at Milwaukee, 

 Wis., June 28 to 30, will equal that of 

 any former gathering of representatives 

 of the nursery trade. With the adop- 

 tion of the new constitution at Detroit 

 last year, there is manifest a general 

 revival of determination to place the 

 organization on a higher plane than it 

 has ever before attained. 



At the coming convention a report 

 by Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston, Mass., 

 counsel for the association, will consist 

 of a review of his work for the last 

 year and of recommendations for the 

 future. The various papers to be read 

 will have that same spirit and effort to 

 raise the moral and commercial ethics 

 of the organization. The intention is 

 to make a membership in the American 

 Association of Nurserymen a guarantee 

 of all that is honest in the carrying out 

 of contracts, the handling of stock and 

 the execution of business transactions. 



Iiast Call for the Badge Book. 



The quality of the program for the 

 Milwaukee meeting, in variety of topics 

 and discussions, surpasses anything 

 ever before presented to nurserymen, 

 and the sessions will be full of life and 

 profit. The receipts for membership 

 dues are more than double those of any 

 previous year and the correspondence 

 accompanying renewals indicates satis- 

 faction with the new constitution. 



Members of record of 1915 may re- 

 new their memberships without coming 

 under the new rule, and if this notice 

 should be read by such as have not yet 

 doae so, they may feel at liberty to

RULES OOVERNING IMPORTS. 



May 15 the Federal Horticultural 

 Board issued a pamphlet containing re- 

 vised rules and regulations governing 

 the importation of nursery stock into 

 the United States, under the provisions 

 of the Plant Quarantine Act of August 

 20, 1912. This revision supersedes, ef- 

 fective on and after July 1, 1916, the 

 circular of June 23, 1914, entitled 

 "Eules and Regulations Under the 



Plant Quarantine Act: General, Includ- 

 ing Nursery Stock." 



These revised regulations are sub- 

 stantially the same as those now in ef- 

 fect. The most important change is the 

 provision that permits to import nurs- 

 ery stock from countries which main- 

 tain nursery-stock inspection, and per- 

 mits to import orchids and tree seeds 

 from countries which do not maintain 

 nursery-stock inspection, instead of be- 

 ing reissued each year, will be valid 

 until revoked. The list of plants, the 

 entry of which is prohibited, is brought 

 up to date. Amendment No. 1 to the 

 former rules and regulations, issued 

 April 19, 1915, providing for the im- 

 portation of orchids and tree seeds in
