The death of James Hassett, of Daven- 

 port, la., is recorded in tliis week's obit- 

 uary column. 



State forests with a total of over 

 3,600,000 acres have been established in 

 thirteen states. Of these New York has 

 the largest forests, which comprise 1,826,- 

 000 acres. Pennsylvania is second with 

 1,008,000 acres, and Wisconsin third with 

 400,000 acres. 



It is apparent tlfet the greater part of 

 the program for the convention of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen, to 

 be held at Philadelphia, June 27 to 29, 

 will relate to the special conditions now 

 confronting the nursery trade. The na- 

 tion-wide demand for the planting of 

 food crops this .year has hit the nursery 

 trade a heavy blow, as the planting is of 

 crops that will produce a quick return 

 and fewer fruit trees have been called for 

 than in any recent year. The trade faces 

 a necessity for considerably higher prices 

 and it is a question how they can be ob- 

 tained without a sharp reduction in pro- 

 duction. 



IMMEDIATE QUARANTINE. 



The Secretary of Agriculture has 

 amended the white pine blister rust 

 quarantine promulgated April 21, 1917. 

 This amendment became effective May 

 1, 1917, and prohibits the movement of 

 white pines and black currant plants 

 from tlie New England states to points 

 outside of New England. This action 

 was necessitated by the considerable 

 movement now under way of possibly 

 infected white pines and, to a less ex- 

 tent, black currants, from New Eng- 

 land to states lying west and south. 

 Both of these plants are important car- 

 riers of tlie blister rust disease, and 

 most of the states to which these ship- 

 ments were being made have state quar- 

 antines prohibiting the entry of such 

 stock. 



GOOD WILL AND CONFIDENCE. 



Good will is the basis for every per- 

 manent business success. The good will 

 of a customer is unquestionable proof 

 of faithful and intelligent service ren- 

 dered. 



With a mixture of varieties uniformly 

 good and varieties uniformly poor, the 

 nurserymen are finding it exceedingly 

 diflficuit to gain and hold the good will 

 of their patrons. 



Shrewdness, also, is a legitimate asset 

 of good business, providing that it is of 

 a character that invites confidence, for 

 confidence between man and man is the 

 foundation of lasting success. 



Poor and unsatisfactory varieties of 

 nursery stock, poor quality, grading and

What the home-owners and buyers of 

 nursery stock need most is reliable serv- 

 ice, service that does not need to be 

 watched. They want to feel, rather 

 than to see, that they are being treated 

 right. The American home-owner does 

 not, through choice, evade poor varie- 

 ties of nursery stock by refraining from 

 buying. 



Confronting the nursery industry are 

 almost boundless undeveloped markets
