J. A. YoTTXG, proprietor of the Aurora 

 Nurseries, Aurora, 111., is si)ending a few 

 weeks at his suniiner home, at Gull lake, 

 Mich. 



KosTER & Co., of Bridgeton, N. Y., 

 have been incorporated to carry on a gen- 

 eral farming and nursery business, with 

 a capitalization of $100,000. 



Return to work of the building trade 

 men in Chicago and other cities is wel- 

 comed by landscape architects and nur- 

 serymen as increasing the opportunity 

 for business next season. 



Modification of the quarantine in 

 New England for the gypsy moth and 

 brown-tail moth has been made by the 

 classification of towns in lightly infested 

 and generally infested areas. 



Tariff rates on nursery stock will be 

 doubled under the bill now being con- 

 sidered in Congress. Details of the 

 trade 's sections of the bill are given in 

 the leading article in this issue. 



After conducting a nursery business 

 for four years, at Eagle Rock, Cal., 

 Forest E. Grow has moved to La Canada, 

 near Los Angeles, Cal., where he will con- 

 duct a general nursery business under 

 the name of the La Canada Tropical 

 Nursery. 



The Mayo Nurseries, of Rochester, 

 N. Y., have been incorporated to engage 

 in the growing, buying and selling of all 

 kinds of nursery stock. The capital 

 stock, all common stock, is $5,000. The 

 directors are John G. Mayo, Katherine 

 E. Mayo and William Deigel, all of 

 Rochester. 



Cooperative experiments, conducted 

 by the New York Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station in the Hudson valley and 

 described in bulletin No. 484, demon- 

 strated that the pear thrips can be effec- 

 tively controlled by spraying with a com- 

 bination of miscible oil or whale-oil soap 

 and nicotine sulphate. A complete ac- 

 count of the work maj- be had free of 

 charge upon application to the station at 

 Geneva. 



RATES NEED ALTERATION. 



Existing freight and express rates are 

 bringing forth a great many complaints 

 from shippers, and members of congress 

 are being urged to propose and have en- 

 acted remedial legislation. Representa- 

 tive Sweet, of Iowa, a member of the 

 House committee on interstate and for- 

 eign commerce, who has been active in 

 railroad legislation, is in receipt of ad- 

 vices from the Earl Ferris Nursery Co., 

 of Hampton, la., that a shipment of 

 nursery stock, valued at $97, sent by 

 express to California, cost $103 for 

 transportation alone. 



Mr. Sweet now has pending before 

 the committee a bill to repeal section 

 loa of the Transportation Act of 1920, 

 withdrawing the government guarantee 

 of six per cent return on the value of 

 the railroads. It is declared that this 

 action would have a tendency to lower 

 freight rates, although this would not 

 happen all at once. T. N. S. 



A. A. N. MAINTAINS VIGILANCE. 



Executive Committee Recommends. 



Though many important changes were 

 made in the policies of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen at the Chi- 

 cago convention, report of which was 

 given on this page last week, the work 

 of the vigilance committee, headed last 

 year by the new vice-president, Paul C. 

 Lindley, was praised and ordered con- 

 tinued. The recommendations of the 

 executive committee on this subject, 

 which were adopted, were as follows: 



Your executive committee recommends the 

 continuance of a vigilance committee and urges 

 that the association continue to back this com- 

 mittee to the limit of its power in order to 

 carry out our Vletermlnation to free the associa- 

 tion from undesirable members. 



It is further recommended that each year the 

 secretary be instructed to mail to each mem- 

 ber a complete list of the association member- 

 ship so that each member may report to the 

 executive committee, through the secretary, any 

 member guilty of unscrupulous or fraudulent 

 dealings. 



Dues Payable Before ConTention. 



In amending Article 7, to adopt the 

 new schedule of dues, printed only by 

 The Review last week, it was decided 

 that "membership fees and dues are to 

 be paid prior to the 1921 convention and 

 annually thereafter until the constitu- 

 tion shall be amended." 



The paragraph concluding Article 7 

 now reads: 



The annual membership fee and dues based 

 on the nhove schedule are due prior to the dale 

 of annual meeting and become delinquent after 

 July 15 of each year. Any member making a 

 false report of the amount due the association, 

 as provided above, shall forfeit his membership.

New Version of Article 3. 



To conform to the changes made, as; 



reported last week, the association 



found it necessary to amend Article 3 



of the constitution, which now reads; 



The oflBcers of the association shall consist of 

 the president, vice-president, secretary and 

 treasurer, and the executive committee. Tlie 

 president, vice-president and treasurer shall bo 

 elected by ballot at the annual meeting of the 

 association and hold office for one year or until 

 their successors are chosen. The executive com- 

 mittee shall consist of the president and vice- 

 president ex-offlcio, and five others, nurserymen, 

 active members, who shall be elected by ballot; 

 two to be elected for one year, three to be elect- 

 ed for two years and annually thereafter alter- 

 nately, two for two years and three for two 

 years. There shall also be a vice-president from 

 each state to be chosen by the respective state 

 delegations at the annual convention, who shall 

 hold office until their successors are duly elect- 

 ed. The secretary shall be chosen by the exec- 

 utive committee and shall hold office subject to 

 approval of said executive committee. 



REASONS FOR UNIFORMITY. 



Need for Standardization. 



With the ever-increasing tendency of 

 legislative bodies to prescribe business 

 rules of conduct, would it not be the 

 part of wisdom to beat them to it and 

 establish uniform rules and methods for
