A RECENT addition to the equipment of 

 the Newport Nursery, Aquidneck, R. I., 

 is a two-ton automobile delivery truck. 



The California Association of Nursery- 

 men is holding its eighth annual conven- 

 tion this week. A preliminary report will 

 be found in the Pacific Coast Department 

 of this issue. 



The rush of imports of nursery stock 

 has let up, although this week remains 

 during which stock to be quarantined 

 June 1 may still be imported. The 

 Noordam, which arrived from Rotterdam 

 early last week, had no nursery stock, but 

 a few small lots of bulbs. 



Many nurserymen have contributed 

 shrubbery to be planted about the new 

 Red Cross convalescent home for wounded 

 soldiers at Fort Snelling, near St. Paul, 

 Minn. These contributions came from a 

 distance, as well as from nurserymen of 

 St. Paul and Minneapolis. 



Doubts that the country 's post-war ad- 

 justment would not progress far enough 

 to increase the nursery stock sales this 

 season are now happily removed. Every 

 indication now points to an activity in 

 both fruits and ornamentals far surpass- 

 ing anything the trade has ever experi- 

 enced. 



STOCK NOT TBUE TO NAME. 



Proposed Act to Protect Buyers. 



Representative Cramton, of Michigan, 

 has introduced in the United States Con- 

 gress a bill which should receive the im- 

 mediate attention of nurserymen. It 

 has been referred to the house commit- 

 tee on interstate and foneign commerce 

 and is designated ' ' a bill to prevent thb 

 shipment and sale in interstate com- 

 merce of nursery stock not true to 

 name. ' ' 



Representative Cramton stated to the 

 representative of The Review that he 

 intended to press the measure and that 

 he invited suggestions from those inter- 

 ested. He said that the measure was 

 especially intended to protect buyers of 

 apple and other fruit trees. In his dis- 

 trict in Michigan, he stated, many per- 

 sons had purchased apple trees repre- 

 sented to be of a certain kind or stock, 

 and that when the trees reached ma- 

 turity or when they were naar maturity 

 and b«gan to bear it developed that they 

 w«re of a different stock or kind. He

pointed out instances where such stock 

 had been sold in a vicinity where the 

 growing was devoted to a certain kind 

 of apple, and when the trees matured 

 they were of a different kind, thus plac- 

 ing that particular grower * ' out of step ' ' 

 with his fellow producers when it came 

 to selling and shipping. In other cases, 

 he said, stock had been sold which ma- 

 tured earlier or later than represented. 

 Mr. Cramton seems to think that the 

 measure will have direct bearing on 

 other nursery stock than fruit trees.
