 carnations for the Boston market at 

 Stoneham, Mass., for some years, has pur- 

 chased land and will enter the nursery 

 business shortly. 



A CONFERENCE will be held at Washing- 

 ton, D. C, March 15, to consider the 

 advisability of making additions to or 

 eliminating items from the list of seeds 

 and bulbs which are allowed entry under 

 regulation 3 of quarantine 37. 



The executive committee of the Cali- 

 fornia Nurserymen's Association met at 

 San Francisco last week. The headquar- 

 ters of the organization have been shifted 

 to that city from Los Angeles for this 

 year. Since Henry W. Kruckeberg could 

 not leave his business to attend to the 

 secretary's duties, it was found advisable 

 to appoint a new secretary, Mr. Grady, 

 of San Francisco.

Interesting Program. 



"Progress of Our Nursery Stock in- 

 vestigation," was the subject of a re- 

 port by L. B. Scott, of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, in which he 

 told of work done by his department un- 

 der a government appropriation for 

 nursery stock investigations. The ap- 

 propriation last year amounted to 

 $20,000 and the same amount has been 

 recommended by the director of the 

 budget for the fiscal year beginning 

 July 1, 1922. The three chief lines of 

 investigation to which Mr. Scott's de- 

 partment has devoted its attention are: 

 "Comparison of Growth of Seedling 

 Apple Stocks," "Propagation of Apple 

 and Other Stocks by Booted Cuttings," 

 and "The Inauguration of a Complete 

 Varietal and Rose Stock Experiment." 



Fred Wallace, of Canandaigua, N. Y., 

 spoke on ' ' The Rose Market of the Fu- 

 ture, " pointing out the necessity for 

 giving professional help to amateur /^\ 

 growers of roses. ^ 



J. M. Campbell, of the Howe-Campbell 

 Nursery Co., said that prices probably 

 would not ease off until the autumn of 

 1923, when stock now being grown will 

 be put on the market. He spoke strong- 

 ly against any form of speculation in 

 the business, or the cornering of certain 

 materials to boost the price.
