The Florists' Review 



Fbbbuabx 13, 1919. 



24, 1919, at 10 a. m,, before the Federal 

 Horticultural Board, at Washington, D. 

 O., in order that any person interested 

 may have opportunity to confer with 

 the board either personally or by attor- 

 ney. 



The announcement of the quarantine 

 states that "through the cooperation of 

 the Department of Agriculture with 

 state officials, local organizations and 

 individuals, the susceptible species of 

 berberis and mahonia have been largely 

 eradicated from the above-named states, 

 but these plants are still prevalent in 

 many regions of the United States. It 

 appears necessary, therefore, to quar- 

 antine the states of Alabama, Arizona, 

 Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Dela- 

 ware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, 

 Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachu- 

 setts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hamp- 

 shire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New 

 York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ore- 

 gon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South 

 •Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Ver- 

 mont, Virginia, Washington, West Vir- 

 ginia and the District of Columbia, in 

 accordance with Section 8 of the Plant 

 {Quarantine Act of August 20, 1912 (37 

 Stat. 315), as amended by the Act of 

 Oongress approved March 4, 1917 (39 

 Stat. 1134, 1165), and to prohibit or 

 regulate the movement from said states 

 and district to the states first above 

 named of all species and varieties of 

 barberry and mahonia susceptible to 

 black stem-rust." 



UNJUST LAW PROPOSED. 



Arkansas Trade Aroused. 



Arkansas florists, seedsmen and nurs- 

 erymen are facing a serious situation if 

 a bill now pending in the state senate 

 is passed. The measure already has 

 passed the house without amendment and 

 IS scheduled to come before the senate 

 for consideration February 20. 



The bill is known as "The Arkansas 

 Nursery Fraud Act of 1919," and its 

 purpose is, according to the preamble, 

 to "punish misrepresentations and de- 

 ■ception" in the sale of nursery stock, 

 ilorists' field-grown stock and seeds. 



It is provided in the bill that every 

 person or firm applying for a license 

 tinder the a^t shall file with the chief 

 inspector of the plant board a bond of 

 :$1,000, in the case of residents, and a 

 bond of $5,000 in the case of non- 

 residents. 



Further, the act provides that no 

 stock of any sort may be shipped into 

 the state unless both the shipper and 

 the consignee be licensed and bonded 

 by the chief plant inspector of Arkansas. 

 The license fee is fixed at $5 for nurs- 

 erymen and dealers in nursery stock 

 and $1 for agents, salesmen or solicitors. 

 These licenses, according to the bill, ex- 

 pire July 1 of each year. 



Prison Penalty. 



Penalties provided for disobedience 

 of the law are fine and imprisonment, 

 the former from $10 to $200, and the lat- 

 ter from twenty days to six months. Both 

 penalties may be imposed. 



Nurserymen or dealers shall be re- 

 quired, under the bill, to file with the 

 <5hief inspector of the state plant board 

 a copy of the complete invoice of each 

 sale they make, including the name of 

 the purchaser, the name and quantity of 

 varieties sold and the prices. 



The only clauses in the bill looked 

 upon with favor by the Arkansas trade
