Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis., 

 June 28 to 30, 1816. 



It has turned out an excellent season 

 for the nursery trade. There have been 

 many difficulties, incident to labor short- 

 age, freight embargoes, etc., but these 

 have been counterbalanced by the long 

 season, affording an opportunity to con- 

 tinue operations later than usual. 



The public's knowledge of trees and 

 shrubs will be greatly increased by the 

 action of the management of Jackson 

 park, Chicago, where all the plants are 

 being labeled. A large number of ever- 

 greens recently have been planted on the 

 wooded island, in addition to the collec- 

 tion of perennials, roses and native trees 

 and shrubs for which the island long has 

 been famous. 



THE IMPORT SITUATION. 



The war in Europe, says McHutchi- 

 8on & Co., prevents Holland firms ship- 

 ping to Belgium or Great Britain and 

 reduces exports to most of the other 

 countries. This gives a fine opportu- 

 nity to stock up, as the ocean freight 

 rates from Holland remain quite rea- 

 sonable. Prices recently quoted are the 

 lowest import prices we ever quoted. 

 There is practically no doubt that fall 

 and spring shipments from Holland will 

 be made, and with the same dispatch as 

 last season, but all orders will be booked 

 subject to arrival while the war lasts, 

 as no one can say what is ahead of us. 

 As there is little doubt that prices will 

 be advanced sharply when peace is de- 

 clared, we advise our customers to order 

 at once on the present low quotations, 

 saying whether they wish fall or spring 

 shipment. 



IllINNESOTA LAW ELUCIDATED. 



An erroneous idea exists among some 

 Minnesota nurserymen and florists that 

 they are required by the Minnesota law 

 to purchase their stock from Minnesota 

 nurseries and not from nurseries or 

 dealers in other states. This impres- 

 sion is epitomized by the prominently 

 displayed paragraph on the letterhead 

 of a Minnesota nurseryman, reading: 



"Nurserymen have to furnish their 

 customers with nursery stock from a 

 bona fide inspected Minnesota nursery, 

 jaccording to a law passed by the state 

 legislature at the 1913 session." 



If this were true, the provision

would clearly be unconstitutional, as a 

 discrimination against stock grown in 

 other states. The Minnesota legisla- 

 ture in 1915 amended the law of 1913, 

 so that the Minnesota florist may sell 

 his stock freely, by filing an affidavit 

 that he will buy and sell only stock 

 duly inspected by an official state in- 

 spector — not necessarily a Minnesota 

 inspector — and filing with the state en- 

 tomologist a list of all sources of stock..

IMPOBTS VIA ROTTERDAM. 



More than 2,000 cases of horticultural 

 supplies arrived last week at New York 

 on the Rotterdam steamers Nieuw Am- 



sterdam and Beukelsdyk. The sailings 

 from Rotterdam this spring have been 

 few and far between, so that the trade 

 has an unusually large quantity of stock 

 on each boat that clears. The record 

 of last week's boats was as follows, ac- 

 cording to manifests at the New York 

 customhouse: 



American Express Co., 1,146 bags seed. 



American Shipping Co., C cases plants. 



Downing: & Co., 48 cases trees. 



J. W. Hampton, Jr., & Co., 3 cases bulbs. 



O. G. Hempstead & Son, 2 cases plants. 



International Forwarding Co., 47 cases plants. 



P. C. Kuyper & Co., 38 cases plants; 20 cases 

 shrubs. 



R. F. Lang, 7 cases bulbs. 



H. Langeler, 58 cases plants. 



Lunham & Moore, 19 cases shrubs; 33 cases 

 trees. 



McHutchison Sc Co., 204 cases plants; 376 cases
