 ments of French nursery stock are not 

 precluded because of the German inva- 

 sion. Quite the contrary, export trade 

 is expected to go on as usual. In a 

 letter to The Review, dated at Orleans 

 September 28, Secretary Turbat says: 



"Since the declaration of the war to 

 France and to her allies and friends by 

 Germany I have been much interested 

 by reading the notes inserted on its 

 subject in the American trade papers. 



"Being not mobilized on account of

 your readers in the name of my coun- 

 trymen for our mutual benefit how 

 stands the situation in France and how 

 we expect it will be later on.

 forest, roses, and other young stocks,
