The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBKB 23, 1919. 



William A. Wunsch recently has 

 joined E. S. & V. M. Crandall, doing busi- 

 ness as the Crandall Nursery, Newton, 

 Kan. An expansion of the business is 

 planned. 



The business of T. C. Thurlow's Sons, 

 incorporated in 1909, was founded near 

 "West Newbury, Mass., in 1832. The offi- 

 cial roster is : President, George C. Thur- 

 low; vice-president and general man- 

 ager, David C. Stranger; treasurer, 

 Winthrop H. Thurlow. 



BILL FOR DOMESTIC STOCKS. 



Embargo Makes It Important. 



Attention of members of the A. A. N. 

 is being called by the executive secre- 

 tary, John Watson, to a Congressional 

 bill, called the Gould bill, H. E. 5939, 

 which provides for tests and experi- 

 ments to obtain suitable and adequate 

 supplies of home-grown seeds, seedlings 

 and stocks for propagating purposes. 



"Most things formerly imported are 

 now excluded," says Secretary Watson. 

 "Many of those things can be and are 

 being propagated here now. Other and 

 needed things are not being grown here 

 and their production in suitable quality 

 and in adequate supply has to be under- 

 taken by way of experiment and there- 

 fore at expense, and it is doubtful if 

 individual effort can be depended on for 

 experiments o^ doubtful results and un- 

 certain returns. 



"And there are some other things still 

 permitted entry, like fruit-tree seed- 

 lings and rose stocks, whose future sup- 

 ply is uncertain for two reasons, the 

 possible further action of the Federal 

 Horticultural Board and the attitude ot 

 the foreign growers. It is not to be 

 imagined tliat the Federal Horticultural 

 Board may act hastily or arbitrarily, 

 but the inclusion of stocks now per- 

 mitted entry with those excluded, would 

 be logical and may possibly be consid- 

 ered necessary at some future date. 



roreign Supplies Withheld? 



"At the International Horticultural 

 Trades Conference, held in Paris last 

 month, the matter of our prohibition 

 order was considered and wliile no offi- 

 cial action was taken, according to the 

 published reports, still, we can conclude 

 from facts and circumstances known, 

 that American buyers will not get any 

 stocks that can be sold to nurserymen 

 elsewhere. 



"We are embarrassed by our depend- 

 ence on other countries for our seeds 



from which to grow fruit-tree seedlings. 

 In the event of oversupply, we can buy 

 seeds abroad, but we can safely assume 

 that they will be available to us only 

 after all other buyers have been sup- 

 plied. In short, we are answered, in 

 effect, that inasmuch as we refuse to 

 permit other countries to sell us their 

 ornamental stocks, they feel relieved of 

 obligation to let us buy their fruit-tree 

 stocks, until, of course, they have sup- 

 plied all other markets open to them. 



"These conclusions as to what we 

 may expect may be wrong. They are 

 drawn from facts open to all of you 

 and you can decide if, in view of the 

 present and probable future supplies of 

 foreign seedlings available to you, it 

 may not be wise to provide for home 

 production of our raw materials."

The bill reads as follows: 



Be It enacted by the Senate and House of Rep- 

 resentatives of the United States of America In 

 Congress assembled, That the Secretary of Ag-
