 east in which the value of persistent cul- 

 tivation of the soil has been so apparent 

 as it has been in this unusually dry sea- 

 son. 



The new customs duties on nursery 

 stock went into effect Friday morning,

NEW YORK NURSERY LAW. 



The nurserymen's committee on legis- 

 lation has expressed the opinion that 

 * ' the New York nursery law is one which 

 might well be copied by other states of 

 the Union." Other authorities have 

 made commendatory references to the 

 New York law. And it is natural that

many nurserymen should be curious to 

 learn more about a law which is so fa- 

 vorably regarded. Space, therefore, is 

 willingly given in the Eeview for the 

 publication of a complete copy of the 

 law. 



The first section of the law, which has 

 special reference to the prevention of dis- 

 ease and pests, is given herewith. The 

 second section, which provides for the 

 application of remedies and for the issu- 

 ance of certificates, will appear in a later 

 issue of the Eeview.
