 one of the largest in its section. 



The U. S. Board of General Ap-

 the classification of evergreen seedlings 

 for purposes of assessing customs duty. 

 This protest was by Maltus & Ware 

 and, as in other cases, the Ouwerkerk 

 decision was followed.

 condition of the peach crop July 1 lower 

 than that of any other crop, only 50, 

 against 54.1 a month before and 69.7 a 

 year ago. The condition of the apple 

 crop also was low: 54.6, against 61.4 

 June 1 and 57.6 a year ago. 



STATE NURSERY LAVS. 



Maine and Montana. 



The American Association of Nursery- 

 men, through its committee on legislation, 

 has been making a comparative study of 

 the nursery laws of the different states, 

 and in so doing has collected much val- 

 uable information. 



William Pitkin, as chairman of the 

 committee, has investigated a bill passed 

 at the last session of the legislature of 

 the state of Maine, and does not find that 

 it contains much of interest, or much of 

 detriment, to members of the Nursery- 

 men's Association. It provides that all

nursery stock shipped into the state shall 

 bear on each package a certificate of in- 

 spection, that on arrival the state inspect- 

 ors may inspect if they so desire, and 

 further, that ' ' all agents or other parties, 

 except growers, who desire to sell nursery 

 stock, shall make application for an 

 agent's license, and shall file with the 

 state entomologist the names and ad- 

 dresses of nurseries or parties from which 

 they purchase their stock. On receipt of 

 such application, the state entomologist 

 shall issue a license valid for one year." 

 No license fee is demanded. • 



At the request of a number of western 

 nurserymen, Mr. Pitkin secured from the 

 attorneys of the Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion, Messrs. McGuire & Wood, of Eoch- 

 ester, N. Y., an opinion as to the validity 

 of the Montana law, and the attorneys' 

 opinion was in substance that the law was 

 valid, and could not be easily and suc- 

 cessfully attacked. 



Oklahomat Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. 



E. P. Bernardin, chairman of the west- 

 ern committee, reported to Mr. Pitkin 

 that it was not likely that any new legis- 

 lation would be immediately enacted in 

 Oklahoma, but that the state board hav- 

 ing charge of such matters would give 

 the members of the western committee 

 a hearing and discuss with them the rules 

 and regulations formulated by the state 

 board, and it was expected that all mat- 

 ters would be gotten in satisfactory 

 shape. 



Mr. Pitkin states that he had some 

 correspondence with a number of west- 

 ern people in regard to a bill introduced 

 in the legislature of Wisconsin, which 

 contained all kinds of foolish, unreason- 

 able and illegal propositions. The mat- 

 ter was looked after principally by T, J. 

 Ferguson, of Wauwatosa, Wis., who re- 

 ported in March that it was not likely 

 that anything would be done with the

measure. "And I believe," says Mr. 

 Pitkin, ' ' that is its present status. ' ' 



The laws of Pennsylvania provide 

 that all nursery stock entering the state 

 must be fumigated, and that before ship- 

 ment the outside nurseryman must file 

 with the Pennsylvania Department an 

 affidavit which in substance obligates him 

 to fumigate all nursery stock shipped 

 into the state, of Pennsylvania according 

 to the prescribed formulas. In the opin- 

 ion of the attorneys of the Nurserymen's 

 Association, the law is invalid and uncon- 

 stitutional, as an attempted regulation 

 of interstate commerce. 



North Dakota^ Californiat ^yomin^. 



After some correspondence with par- 

 ties in North Dakota relative to a bill 

 introduced in their legislature which con- 

 tained some objectionable clauses, Mr. 

 Pitkin made some suggestions to the 

 North Dakota people as to its unconsti- 

 tutional and unreasonable provisions, and 

 was informed in March that the bill was 

 smothered in committee, and consequently 

 nothing would be done on that line for 

 the next two years. 



During April Mr. Pitkin received a let- 

 ter from one of the members of the Nurs- 

 erymen 's Association residing at Eoches- 

 ter, N. Y., stating that a short time pre- 

 viously he had shipped a few peach trees 

 to a California customer, and had been 

 unable to get them delivered. A regular 

 inspection certificate was attached, and 

 also a certificate of fumigation, but 

 notwithstanding that the California au- 

 thorities, acting through the transporta- 

 tion companies, would not permit deliv- 

 ery, and it seems that under their rules
