Under a law passed by Congress March 

 4, 1915, Florida is making arrangements 

 for the terminal inspection of all mail 

 shipments of plants and plant products, 

 except vegetable and flower seeds, enter- 

 ing the state. California, Arizona and 

 Montana have already established such 

 mail inspection services under the fed- 

 eral law. 



B. E. Gage, of Peterson Nursery, Chi- 

 cago, has not given up his hope of a state 

 organization of the nurserymen of Illi- 

 nois for the purpose of elevating the tone 

 of the nursery trade. Physicians habitu- 

 ally speak well of one another and Mr. 

 Gage believes nurserymen would do the 

 same and make an effort to live up to 

 business ideals if they were brought to- 

 gether oftener. 



E. TURBAT & Co., the French nursery- 

 men, say : ' ' For this season it may hap- 

 pen that some of our American confreres 

 may be afraid of ordering goods on ac- 

 count of there being an overcharge on 

 freight tariffs. We beg them to con- 

 sider that this overcharge will not be 

 vdthdrawn at once when the war ter- 

 minates, but will stand long afterwards, 

 for many reasons too numerous and too 

 long to explain here. On the contrary, 

 stocks are still at moderate prices, and it 

 is the year to buy, because on account of 

 shortage of hands for propagation, the 

 scarcity of goods will be more important 

 next year, and prices will still increase. 

 If you do not buy stocks this season you 

 will lose one year and pay higher prices 

 the next one."

I sowed about two pounds of Berberis 

 Thunbergii seeds July 1 of this year 

 and they have failed to germinate. I 

 used a good fibrous loam and one-third 

 sand, well mixed. The seeds were cov- 

 ered about four times their thickness 

 and were kept wet all the time. They

 like to know wherein I was wrong and 

 what is the proper way to sow these 

 seeds. B. B. — Ohio. 



Seeds of Berberis Thunbergii will not 

 germinate like those of marigolds, 

 stocks or asters. Your seeds probably 

 were collected late last fall and, having 

 been kept dry so long, are not likely to 

 germinate before next spring. If you 

 had sown the seeds late last fall out- 

 doors, soon after they were collected, 

 and had given them a winter mulch to 

 prevent frost from heaving the ground, 

 most of the seeds probably would have 

 germinated last spring. The fresher the 

 seeds of trees and shrubs are when 

 sown, the sooner they will germinate. 

 If you sowed your seeds outdoors, give 

 them a winter mulch of some kind, and 

 as a good freezing assists in germinat- 

 ing many seeds, you should have a good 

 crop of seedlings next spring. Some of
