 as holly and laurel, used as Christmas 

 decorations, from the ravages of the 

 gypsy moth (Porthetria dispar), a proc- 

 lamation superseding all other proclama- 

 tions on this subject has been made by 

 Governor Lcn Small, governor of the 

 Btate of Illinois. This proclamation 

 prohibits and makes unlawful the im- 

 portation of the above-named trees and 

 decorative materials from certain parts 

 of the states of Maine, New Hampshire, 

 Vermont, Connecticut and Massachu- 

 Betts, the department of agriculture of 

 the state of Illinois having found this 

 dangerous insect pest prevalent in these 

 states. The prohibition takes effect from 

 February 1, 1922, and will be in force 

 until otherwise proclaimed by the gov- 

 ernor. 



PAINESVILLE, O. 



"The nursery industry ranks at the 

 present time as one of the most impor- 

 tant industries in Lake county." The 

 speaker was John H. Dayton, secretary 

 of the Storrs & Harrison Co., who ad- 

 dressed the Chamber of Commerce and 

 interested citizens of Painesville and 

 vicinity at a banquet in the Y. M. C. A., 

 February 27. 



The spring season has opened. This 

 fact is obvious when one watches the 

 huge truck loads of express shipments 

 that are being sent out by the Storrs & 

 Harrison Co. 



Claude Reynolds, of Mentor, O., who 

 makes a specialty of peonies and del- 

 phiniums, intends to increase his acreage 

 the coming season. 



George Martin reports business good 

 and is shipping many orders of perennial 

 stock. 



Mark Welch, the Madison avenue 

 nurseryman, says that, judging from the 

 orders booked ahead, the spring season 

 of 1922 will surpass all previous seasons. 



A 300-foot house of Laddie carnations 

 at C. Merkel & Sons' is the best the

IBIS CHECK UST. 



The American Iris Society, though 

 one of the youngest trade organizations, 

 has already done a great work. As bul- 

 letin No. 4, dated January, 1922, it has 

 issued its iris check list. This has been 

 distributed to members of the organiza- 

 tion and copies will be sold to non-mem- 

 bers for a small sum. 



The iris check list was originally pre- 

 pared for inclusion in the Official Cata- 

 logue of Standardized Plant Names, now 

 BO near completion under the direction 

 of J. Horace McFarland and Harlan 

 P. Kelsey. The iris check list has been 

 published in advance of the larger work 

 m order to facilitate its checking and 

 correction. A few trade members of the 

 American Iris Society made this pos- 

 sible by subscribing to a special pub- 

 lication fund. 



The work of compiling the check list 

 was done by President John C. Wister. 

 He has spent a number of years at it 

 and has done a remarkably fine piece of 

 work, although he himself admits that 

 it is not so complete as he would like to 

 have it. 



The check list includes as far as pos- 

 sible all species and varieties now in 

 American commerce. The names are ar- 

 ranged alphabetically in three groups. 

 Group one includes the bearded iris, or 

 pogoniris, and is fairly complete, ex- 

 cept for the fact that obsolete varieties 

 which appeared on the check list of the
