BARS NEW ENGLAND GREENS. 



J. G. Sanders, in charge of inspection 

 matters for the state of P(Minsylvania 

 and one of tlie most appreliensivo of all 

 our insect fighters, lias issued a notice of 

 quarantine against Cliristinas trees and 



greens from certain parts of New Eng- 

 land. The notice says in part: 



An extremely dangerous and destructive pest 

 known as the gypsy moth, originally Imported 

 from Europe, has become established through- 

 out considerable portions of New England, and 

 is causing much damage. In spite of an expendi- 

 ture of more than $14,000,000 of state and gov- 

 ernment monies for control and eradication work, 

 this pest has continued to spread to new areas. 

 The Introduction and establishment of this pest 

 in Pennsylvania Is possible by means of egg 

 masses on various evergreen trees cut in the In- 

 fested districts of New England and transported 

 for Christmas decoration. 



Since this dangerous pest is not known to exist 

 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and be- 

 lieving It Important to protect the horticultural 

 interests from Invasion, this department pro- 

 mulgates the following quarantine against cer- 

 tain plant shipments from portions of New Eng- 

 land. 



By virtue of authority conferred by an act of 

 legislation approved June 29, 1917, the Pennsyl- 

 vania Department of Agriculture hereby prohibits 

 the shipment, transportation, acceptance, receipt 

 or sale or other disiiosul in the Commonwealth of 

 Pennsylvania of any coniferous (evergreen) trees, 

 such as spruce, arbor vit.ie (white cedar), fir, 

 hemlock, or pine, known and described as 

 "Christmas trees," and parts thereof, and also 

 decorative plants, such as holly and laurel, 

 known and described as "Christmas greens or 

 greenery," which were cut or originated in the 

 gypsy moth quarantine area as bounded, main- 

 tained and described by the Federal Horticultu- 

 ral Board. 



It Is further ordered (1) that any plant ma- 

 terials described above received in this state 

 from the above quarantined area, shall be de- 

 stroyed as a public nuisance. (2) In case of 

 doubt in regard to tlu- origin of any such pro- 

 hibited plant material, tlie burden of proof shall 

 be upon the owner or shipper. 



Lexington, Ky.— G. M, Rcburu, of 

 Chicago, was here last week and in 

 calling on the trade found that nearly 

 everyone said summer business has been 

 better tlian in former years. There has 

 been a good, steady run of sales and 

 funeral work has been in lieavier de- 

 mand than heretofore. All the green- 

 house sheds liore are full of coal, in 

 anticipation of troulile getting fuel in 

 tlic winter.
