MUST NOT CHANGE MARKS. 



When an American importer of nur- 

 sery stock ships the original cases to 

 his customer he must not remove the 

 foreign marks and certificates, substi- 

 tuting his own, unless he has in fact 

 had the stock inspected and certificated 

 by his own state entomologist. 



The following is a letter on the sub- 

 ject from the Federal Horticultural 

 Board to its correspondents: 



The state Inspector of Pennsylvania, In re- 

 portlntr on two c'uecs at Imported nursery stock 

 recently shipped to the Fairmonnt Park Com- 

 mission, Philadelphia. Pa., by the Co.,

eipn card markinj^s and certifications had been 

 removed from the cases, and that the Inielness 

 RhippinK card of the Co. had been sub- 

 stituted. This card bears the following printed 

 statement:

"This is to certify that the nursery stock 

 herein has been duly examined in compliance 

 with the inspection laws and was found to be 

 apparently free in all respects from any conta- 

 gious or Infectious plant disease, or the San 

 Jose scale, or other dangerously injurious insect 

 pest or pests." 



Inasmuch as this stock had not been Inspected 

 by the New York state Inspector before ship- 

 ment, this action on the part of the -: 



Co. was a direct violation of the plant quar- 

 antine act and of the regulations prescribed 

 thereunder. This company has been duly warned 

 and It promised not to repeat the offense. 



If any instances of this kind come to your at- 

 tention, we shall be glad to have a full report, 

 together with the shipping card of the company 

 concerned, in order that proper action may be 



taken. So far as we are aware, the 



Co. is the only firm that has been guilty of a 

 violation of this kind.

procure. There are fine looking Easter 

 lilies and rubrums on the market now. 

 These are much in demand and are 

 making good prices. Good roses now 

 are hard to obtain, and sweet peas are 

 poor and quite scarce. Asters are com- 

 ing in, but not in large quantities, as is 

 usual. They are small and short- 

 stemmed. Fine gladioli .are in splendid 

 variety and sell well. The price of val- 

 ley is high and this item is extremely 

 hard to obtain. Garden flowers, such 

 as gaillardias, daisies, delphiniums and 

 coreopsis, are still in evidence. 



There is a splendid lot of Boston 

 ferns, cyclamens, primulas and chrys- 

 antheniunis coming in for the fall. The 

 greenhouse men are working like bees
