The present season has been one of the 

 best in years because of the long period 

 of uninterrupted planting. The fall 

 season is steadily growing in importance. 



Dbeeb's field of phloxes, beside the 

 railroad tracks at Biverton, N. J., each 

 season makes a call for stock that is 

 beard in nurseries all over the country. 



M. J. Van Leeuwen, manager of the 

 Continental Nurseries, Franklin, Mass., 

 says the fall trade not only has been ex- 

 cellent, but above expectations. This is 

 the firm which recently registered with 

 the S. A. F. the variegated form of Ber- 

 beris Thunbergii named Silver Beauty. 



Wm. Waeneb Harper, of the Andorra 

 Nurseries, Philadelphia, sailed from New 

 York for Cuba on the steamer Havana 

 November 27, and was mistaken for Dr. 

 Cook, the Arctic explorer, who left New 

 York incognito the same day. The nurs- 

 eryman bad to establish his identity in 

 order to escape the interviewers. 



The Inter-Mountain Nursery Co., of 

 Brigham, Utah, has filed amendments to 

 its articles of incorporation, reducing the 

 capital stock from $100,000 to $50,000, 

 and increasing the number of directors 

 from three to five. F. T. Troxell is pres- 

 ident and E. M. Tyson is secretary of 

 the company. 



NEED FEDERAL INSPECTION. 



In ia» thirteenth annual report as sec- 

 retary af agriculture, made public De- 

 cember 1, James Wilson says: 



"In January, 1909, the authorities of 

 the stat« of New York informed the De- 

 partment that the brown-tail moth had 

 been found in that state in shipments of 

 seedlings received from Angers, France. 

 Later it was learned also that the winter 

 nests of this pernicious moth had been 

 found in Ohio, on seedlings imported 

 from the same French locality. By ar- 

 rangement with the Treasury Department 

 and the principal railroads, the depart- 

 ment was then promptly notified of the 

 final destination of all cases of plants re- 

 ceivedj and was thus enabled to notify 

 state inspectors or other competent per- 

 sons near the destinations. Notices of 

 nearly 800 shipments, divided among 

 thirty-fiTe states, were thus sent out. In 

 fifteen of these states nests of the brown- 

 tail moth were found. Proper inspection 

 was probably had in aU cases, and it is 

 likely that this concerted effort to pre- 

 vent a new introduction of the brown-tail 

 moth was for the time successful. 



"Undes our present laws, however, 

 these shipments might easily have been 

 overlooked, and the considerable expendi- 

 tures which for several years we have

been making in the warfare against the 

 brown-tail moth would then have been to 

 no purpose. Moreover, unless additional 

 legislation is secured, we are in constant 

 danger of such introduction of pernicious 

 insects from abroad. We can ilot depend 

 upon the inspection systems of foreign 

 countries. These may be rigid in one 

 country and lax in another, or in any 

 country there may come a period of lax- 

 ity during which insect pests destined 

 for this country may escape detection. 

 Neither can we depend upon the law now 

 on the federal statute books which pro-

sect which is 'notoriously injurious.' Al- 

 though this law also forbids the convey- 

 ance of 'notoriously injurious' insects in 

 the mails, it is nevertheless insufficient, 

 and there is, besides, no provision for its 

 enforcement. 



"What we need is a federal statute 

 which shall not only forbid the importa- 

 tion or interstate transportation of in- 

 jurious insects in all stages, with ade- 

 quate penalties for its violation, but also 

 provide for a thorough system of inspec-
