inspector after shipment and before 

 planting. 



Tlie Nurserymen's Viewpoint. 



The nurserymen present tried to con- 

 vey their feeling over this provision, 

 that it was utterly impractical and im- 

 possible of carrying out, pointing out 

 the fact that in the cotton states alone 

 there are probably 000,000 to 1,000,000 

 orders filled annually and the utter im- 

 possibility of inspecting "after ship- 

 ment and befw-e planting" even one- 

 tenth of these orders. The nurserymen 

 asked that the entomologists earnestly 

 attempt to work out some plan whereby 

 one inspection tag will carry a ship- 

 ment anywhere in the United States. 

 This suggestion was taken under ad- 

 visement and a second conference was 

 called by the entomologists to meet in 

 Atlanta 'in May. At this second con- 

 ference twenty-one nurserymen were 

 present. 



The entomologists reported that they 

 had not been able to evolve a plan as 

 suggested at the first conference and 

 again submitted the "ideal standard" 

 without change or modification and it 

 was discussed fully and frankly, sec- 

 tion by section. We could not get to- 

 gether. Some concessions were made by 

 the entomologists, the most important 

 one being the elimination of a section 

 which provided that "all shipments of 

 nursery stock coming into a state should 

 be routed by receiving stations for^ in- 

 spection and forwarding to destina- 

 tion." 



The serially numbered permit tag is 

 now in use by four of the citrus-grow- 

 ing states, and you who ship into Flor- 

 ida, Mississippi, Louisiana and South 

 Carolina are familiar with the dupli- 

 cate invoice required under these per- 

 mit tags. Conditions in the citrus 

 states are difficult and entirely different 

 than in other sections of this country, 

 and the nurserymen feel that the use 

 of this serially numbered tag should 

 be confined to the citrus states. The 

 entomologists want this plan adopted 

 by all the states and a serially num- 

 bered certificate tag as well. 



Therefore, I suggest that you large 

 operators who are doing business in 

 thirty or forty states should look to 

 the future carefully and do everything 

 that you possibly can to avoid overpro- 

 duction, in order that you may keep 

 your prices at a reasonable point, so 

 that you can build ^ a wing or add an 

 extra story to your office or house, and 

 have funds to pay the additional force 

 necessary to comply with these "ideal 

 rules and regulations" when univer- 

 sally adopted. Cheer up. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



Garden Club Exhibition. 



The exhibition of flowers that is to 

 be one of the prominent features of the 

 annual convention of the Association of 

 Garden Clubs of America, scheduled

 port Art Association. 



At a conference a few days ago be- 

 tween committees representing the New- 

 port Horticultural Society, the New- 

 port Garden Club and the N'ewport Arts 

 Association, plans were discussed and 

 it was decided that the show should 

 be held in the exhibition hall of the as- 

 sociation. There may also be special 

 exhibitions in other parts of the build-
