The Florists*^ Review 



JCLY 6, 1922 



cussion of the conditions that were be- 

 fore us, the following resolution was 

 passed and was presented to the fed- 

 eral horticultural board, the Secretary 

 of Agriculture and others assembled at 

 the hearing on quarantine 37: 



Besolved, that the executive committee and 

 legislative committee and other attending nurs- 

 erymen go on record as approving sections 2, 3, 

 4 and 5 of regulation 3, now in force, except 

 that Norway Schwedleri maples 4-foot to 8-foot 

 whips for transplanting and not flnished stocks 

 for reaale be admitted under regulations for a 

 period of three years from June 1, 1922. And, 

 further, we approve the action of the federal hor- 

 ticultural board in fully investigating the pro- 

 duction and quality of Manetti and other rose 

 stocks in the United States. 



"The proposed tariff bill now before 

 the United States Senate doubles the 

 duty on fruit tree stocks. A majority 

 of our committee feel that we should 

 oppose the proposed increase. I have 

 entered protest against this increase 

 through our United States senator, 

 which has been filed with the commit- 

 tee. If nurserymen are interested in 

 keeping the tariff where it now is, each 

 one should write to his United States 

 senator requesting him to vote against 

 the proposed increases." 



Directly following this Harlan P. Kel- 

 sey gave an interesting and enlighten- 

 ing report on the progress of the com- 

 mittee on nomenclature. This report, 

 telling of the progress of the Official 

 Catalogue of Standardized Plant Names, 

 appears on a forward page of this issue. 



The discussion on standardization and 

 trade practice opened after Harlan P. 

 Kelsey had given his report, and the 

 preliminary report of the committee on 

 standardization was referred to the Re- 

 tail Nurserymen's Association, in order 

 that the latter association might make 

 recommendations on the grading tables 

 of fruit trees. This preliminary report 

 was distributed among all those present 

 for consideration. The report was in 

 pamphlet form, interleaved and so ar- 

 ranged as to allow of written notes. 

 This matter was carried over until after 

 the meeting of the retail nurserymen, 

 Thursday evening. 



Training in Colleges. 



Eeporting as chairman for the com- 

 mittee on courses in nursery training in 

 agricultural colleges, Alvin E. Nelson, 

 of Chicago, read as follows: 



Tour committee on courses in nursery training 

 in agricultural colleges respectfully reports that 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College, at Am- 

 herst, has provided a short-term course, which 

 was in operation last winter. 



The University of Illinois has announced thot 

 it will provide a 4-year course for nursery train- 

 ing, commencing September, 1922, under the 

 direction of Prof. J. C. Blair. It has been sug- 

 gested by Professor Blair that a great aid in 

 promoting the work would be a formal action in 

 the form of a resolution by the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen indorsing the course re- 

 ferred to and promising cooperation in the matter 

 of recommending the course to prospective stu- 

 dents. 



All applications for this course should he ad- 

 dressed to Prof. J. C. Blair, University of 

 Illinois, Urbana, 111. 



The New York State College of Agriculture, at 

 Cornell, is willing to provide a 4-.veor course and 

 to add two specialists on insects and fungous 

 diseases of trees and shrubs as soon as funds 

 are made available by the New York legisla- 

 ture. The New York Nurserymen's Association 

 should get the appropriation for this. 



There should he courses in the southern and 

 Pociflc states, and we recommend this to the at- 

 tention of the associations in these states. 



We also recommend that colleges make ar- 

 rangements so that students can take courses 

 In one or more colleges, and so may travel and 

 work in various parts of the country. This will 

 give them a broader view of nurserymen's duties 

 and opportunities. 



Following this report, Robert A. 



Simpson, of Vincennes, Ind., talked of 



the work of the committee on deciduous 



.ind tropical fruits nomenclature. He 



said that three lists of names of fruits 



in America had been received; that they 



had been carefully examined; that
