The Florists^ Review 



Jolt 29, 1920 



The Poughkeepsie Nursery Co. was 

 recently incorporated at Brooklyn, N. Y., 

 for $10,000, -with W. J. Godding, I. God- 

 ding and F. MacDowell as incorporators. 



French prices on peonies have in- 

 creased approxilnately 300 per cent, on 

 account of the greater expense of cultiva- 

 tion. A less advance is quoted to Amer- 

 ican buyers who remit in dollars. 



NEW B.ULES AGAINST PESTS. 



Important new safeguards will go into 

 effect August 1 in all ports of the Unit-, 

 ed States regarding plants and plant 

 products whose introduction into this 

 country is restricted or prohibited by 

 quarantine or other orders of the Unit- 

 ed States Department of Agriculture, 

 according to the department's report. 

 The new regulations have just been is- 

 sued by the Secretary of Agriculture 

 and pertain to the arrival of prohibited 

 and restricted plants carried on vessels 

 arriving at ports where entry or landing 

 is not intended. The provisions sup- 

 plement regulations which have been 

 in force for several years relating to 

 entry for immediate export and entry 

 for immediate transportation and ex- 

 portation in bond, of prohibited plants 

 and plant products. The enforcement 

 of the quarantines of the Department of 

 Agriculture at ports of entry has shown 

 the necessity for more adequate safe- 

 guards with respect to restricted and 

 prohibited plants or plant products 

 where entry or landing at a port is not 

 intended. These safeguards have now 

 been provided, making less likely the 

 escape of insects or plant diseases from 

 vessels temporarily stopping in United 

 States harbors. 



The new regulations provide that a 

 report shall be made to the Secretary of 

 Agriculture by the captain or other per- 

 son in charge of a vessel arriving at a 

 United States port and containing on 

 board plants or plant products the en- 

 try of which is prohibited or restricted. 

 This report must state the nature and 

 quantity of such plants or plant prod- 

 ucts, the country or locality of origin, 

 the date of arrival, the date of sailing 

 from the United States port, together 

 with a statement indicating the steps 

 taken to prevent the escape of insects 

 or plant diseases which they may carry. 



It is further provided that the per- 

 son in charge of such vessels must al- 

 low inspection of his craft and must 

 take such measures as are prescribed by 

 the inspector representing the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, to prevent the 

 landing of any such plants or plant prod- 



ucts or the escape of insects or plant 

 diseases which they may carry. The 

 collector of customs^ in cooperation with 

 the inspector of the Department of 

 Agriculture, may require such person 

 to destroy the objectionable plants and 

 plant products or to remove them forth- 

 with from the port and the territorial 

 waters of the United States. If neces- 

 sary, the inspector of the department 

 may require the disinfection of the ves- 

 sel in accordance with methods pre- 

 scribed by the Department of Agricul- 

 ture.

attacks from both insects and fnngi. 

 The particular insect I am unacquainted 

 with, but a spraying with a combined 

 poison and fungicide would be effective. 

 You can purchase combined sprays of 

 this nature, like Pyrox, or you can use 

 arsenate of lead and Bordeaux mixture 

 in combination. This spray will not 

 burn the foliage. It should be applied 

 while the foliage is perfectly dry.
