abl»> in the United States, not author- 

 ized by the permit and previously re- 

 jected from applications made by this 

 company. The substituted varieties 

 were lai)eled witli tlie names of the per- 

 mitted varieties. 



' ' After discovery by the federal hor- 

 ticultural board of the fraud, a repre- 

 sentative of the coiiijiany admitted the 

 above facts. 



"In view of the evidence above re- 

 ferred to, the board, believing this to 

 be a violation of the plant quarantine 

 act and of the rules and regulations sup- 

 plemental to plant quarantine 37, un- 

 der the provision of regulation 13 for 

 the cancallation of permits for vio- 

 lation of the regulations, ha.s ordered 

 as fallows: 



" (1) The shipment containing the 

 substituted material is refused entry. 



"(2) All existing permits issued for 

 importations by the National Bulb 

 Farms, Inc., Benton Harbor, Mich., are 

 canceled. 



"(3) Further permits for importa- 

 tion by the National Bulb Farms, Inc., 

 will not be issued until the board is con- 

 vinced, from satisfactory evidence sub- 

 mitted by the company, that similar 

 fraudulent practices will not be re- 

 peated. ' ' 



CONFISCATE DICESONS' STOCK. 



The entire seed business in southern 

 Ireland of Alex. Dickson & Sons, Ltd., 

 has been confiscated by the boycott de- 

 partment of the Irish "Eepublican" 

 army. On the afternoon of Tuesday, 

 April 11, armed raiders took possession 

 of the metropolitan establishment of the 

 firm, situated at 61 to 63 Dawson street, 

 Dublin, carrying away all the books of 

 the company, and ordered the business 

 to be closed down. Orders in course of 

 execution were not even allowed to be 

 completed, and all the company's book 

 debts and stock-in-trade are at the dis- 

 posal of the army. The business is com- 

 pletely paralyzed and in a state of ab- 

 solute chaos at the moment. Under 

 these trying circumstances the firm asks 

 that all communications pertaining to 

 the Dublin house should be directed to 

 the northern headquarters, at Hawl- 

 iiiark, Belfast. A claim has been lodged 

 with the authorities for damages, 

 .luiounting to £.'iO,000.
