stances a delay of a few years before 

 adequate supplies will be made avail- 

 able, but in the meantime the essential 

 needs of this country can be met by the 

 substitution of other and American- 

 grown plants. It should be noted that 

 finished fruit trees, namely grafted or 

 budded plants, and finished rose plants 

 are placed in the same class with orna- 

 mentals and are not permitted entry. _ 



"One exception may be made to this 

 ruling, namely, if it should become ap- 

 parent that any ornamental for which 

 there may be a substantial horticultural 

 need can not be successfully grown in 

 this country, from seed, the board is 

 willing to give special consideration to 

 such cases and if such condition is dem- 

 onstrated to the satisfaction of the 

 board and confirmed after experimenta- 

 tion or otherwise by the experts of this 

 department, entry under regulation 14 

 of a reasonable quantity of such seed- 

 ling plants may be authorized. 



"The provisions for the importation 

 of new varieties and propagating stock 

 not available in this country for re- 

 production purposes are detailed in a 

 circular letter of this board (HB-105), 

 and in the form of application for spe- 

 cial permit under regulation 14 (HB- 

 107). These documents will be supplied 

 on request." 



NEW FEUIT STOCKS. 



' ' One of the big problems of American 

 fruit growing," states the report of the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture for the last year, 

 "is that of stocks resistant to diseases 

 and insects and suitable for our wide 

 range of soil and climate. Promising 

 new stocks of pear, apple, peach, cherry 

 and plum have been assembled from for- 

 eign countries, chiefly the orient. Nearly 

 150 pounds of seed from pear trees sup- 

 posed to be resistant to fire-blight have 

 been secured through exploration in 

 China. Seedling stocks are being grown 

 at widely separated places and distribu- 

 tions are being made to nurserymen and 

 others in order to determine their dis- 

 ease resistance, congeniality and adapta- 

 bility to varying soils and climates. 

 About 75,000 new pear stocks have been 

 distributed."
