The American Association of Park Su- 

 perintendents will hold its annual meet- 

 ing in New York city August 27. 



The annual meeting of the American 

 Railway Gardeners' Association will be 

 held in New York city August 11 to 14. 



Charles Willis "Ward, who is estab- 

 lishing the Cottage Gardens Nurseries in 

 California, with postoiBce address at Eu- 

 reka, is at present in camp at Ah Pah 

 Creek on the Klamath river, deep in the 

 redwood forest. 



D. W. CooLiDGE, president of the Cali- 

 fornia Association of Nurserymen, is ex- 

 perimenting with a new fruit, called the 

 feijoa, at his nursery at Pasadena, It 

 is reported to have the combined flavors 

 of the banana, the pineapple and the 

 raspberry. 



Carl Hugo Levin is the new advertis- 

 ing and sales manager of the Wm. P. 

 Stark Nurseries, at Neosho and Stark 

 City, Mo. He was at one time adver- 

 tising and sales manager of the Texas 

 Orchard Development Co., of Houston, 

 Tex., and left Lord & Thomas, the Chi- 

 cago advertising concern, to take his 

 present position. 



James Vallance, manager of the 

 Vallance Nursery, at Oakland, Cal., the 

 firm name under which John Vallance, 

 the new president of the Pacific Coast 

 Association of Nurserymen, conducts the 

 business purchased from C. C. Morse & 

 Co., has leased his ranch at Peters, Cal., 

 to Erie Williams, of Stockton, with an 

 option to purchase it. 



To aid the city in its work of improv- 

 ing the appearance of the place, the J. 

 W. Adams Co., at Springfield, Mass., has 

 offered to give the town a strip of land 

 ten feet wide and 1,400 feet long along 

 East Main street, so that the thorough- 

 fare may be widened. As this amounts 

 to practically one-third of an acre of 

 land, the value of which runs well into 

 four figures, the gift is not a small one. 



Among the speakers on the program 

 of the Texas State Horticultural Soci- 

 ety's annual meeting, at College Station, 

 July 27 to 29, are J, B. Mayhew, of Wax- 

 ahachie, who will speak on ' ' Improved 

 Methods of Propagation ' ' ; John S. Kerr, 

 of Sherman, president of the Texas Nurs- 

 erymen's Association, who will tell of 

 "The Value of the Home Orchard," and 

 E. S. Stockwell, of Alvin, who will speak 

 on "Handling the CommerciaJ Citrus 

 Crop." A number of nurserymen of the 

 state are expected to be in attendance at 

 the meeting. 



PENNSYLVANIA'S 1913 IMPORTS. 

 The nurserymen of Pennsylvania dur- 

 ing 1913, according to Enos B. Engle, 

 chief state nursery inspector, imported 

 9,214 packages of plants and nursery 

 stock from Japan and five countries of 

 Europe. These bundles contained 2,473,- 

 337 plants and trees. Fourteen other 

 packages of plants came from seven 

 countries that seldom export nursery 

 stock, and Spain sent 2,200 feet of dra- 

 cspna canes into the state.

 spring shipments, but we will give 

 you another order for fall, as THE

VERDICT IN STARK INQUEST. 



The following item appeared in the 

 St. Joseph, Mo., Press July 8, as a dis- 

 patch from Jacksonville, 111.: 



"At an adjourned session of the 

 coroner's inquest here last night, a 

 verdict was returned that Clarence M. 

 Stark, a nurseryman of Louisiana, Mo., 

 came to his death from a self-adminis- 

 tered overdose of poison, taken to allay 

 nervousness and produce sleep. Mr. 



Stark was found dead in bed at a 

 local sanitarium on the night of 

 May 30. ' ' 



NEW FEDERAL RULES ISSUED. 



A pamphlet entitled "Rules and 

 Regulations Under the Plant Quaran- 

 tine Act: General, Including Nursery 

 Stock," has been issued by the federal 

 horticultural board under the date of 

 July 1, 1914, to supersede circular 

 No. 44, issued over a year ago, entitled 

 "Rules and Regulations for Carrying 

 Out the Plant Quarantine Act." 



The regulations set forth in this 

 pamphlet are substantially those now in 

 effect. A few corrections in wording 

 have been made, but aside from these 

 the only changes are the additions of 

 three paragraphs. One, at the end of 

 regulation 6, states that "permits may 

 be canceled and further permits refused 

 for importations from any foreign ex- 

 porter who, after warning, continues to 

 send packages not certified as above, 

 i. e., lacking copy certificate attached 

 to package." 



An amendment to regulation 7 em- 

 bodies the ruling of the board in plant 

 quarantine decision No. 4, issued July 

 17, 1913. This paragraph reads: "Per- 

 mits may be canceled and further 

 permits refused for the importation of 

 nursery stock from any given country 

 whenever such stock, in the judgment 

 of the federal horticultural board, is 

 found to be so infested as plainly to 

 indicate that the foreign inspection is 

 merely perfunctory, and such countries 

 shall thereafter be classed as countries 

 which do not maintain nursery stock
