 of August and early in September the 

 work can be successfully accomplished 

 if cloudy, cool and moist weather pre- 

 vails, if the work is carefully done and 

 if the plants are kept well supplied with

PENNSYLVANIA LICENSES. 



Pennsylvania now has a nursery in- 

 spection law, one of the provisions of 

 which is that all persons, including nurs- 

 ery stock dealers and agents, soliciting 

 for the sale of nursery stock in the 

 state, must secure and carry with them 

 a state license. Penalties for noncom- 

 pliance with the law are provided and 

 willful misrepresentation of stock of- 

 fered for sale is made a misdemeanor. 



The law is aimed at irresponsij?Ie 

 nursery stock agents who have worked 

 in the state during the last several years. 

 They, it is declared, made many fraudu- 

 lent sales by various schemes. 



There also has been passed in Penn- 

 sylvania a law providing standards of 

 purity for insecticides and fungicides. 

 Excessive or fraudulent claims as to the 

 value of these materials will be curbed, 

 and labels must bear a true statement 

 of what the package contains. 



PROHIBITING IMPORTS. 



The inconsistency of the demand by 

 certain entomologists for the complete 

 prohibition of plant imports is well il- 

 lustrated in the annual reports of F. L. 

 Washburn, in charge of nursery inspec- 

 tion in Minnesota. In his report for 

 1916 he says: 



Importation of foreign stock la a menace to 

 our domestic plants and trees because of the dis- 



Mention The ReTlew when yon write.

eases and Insects which may find their way 

 into the country In spite of a thorough Inspec- 

 tion of the stock, and we believe It would be 

 highly advisable for the United States to discon- 

 tinue all importations of foreign stock to this 

 country with the exception of such stock as is 

 brought in by the United States Department of 

 Agriculture for experimental purposes. When 

 we look at the vast amount of damage done in

 case of the cliestnut blight, the citrus canker,

 had recorded that some of the Euro-
