 meeting, Boston, June, 1912. 



The Wolverine Cooperative Nursery 

 Co., of Paw Paw, Mich., held a special 

 meeting June 26, which not only the 

 stockholders, but the farmers and busi- 

 ness men of the vicinity, were invited to 

 attend. One of the projects considered 

 was the establishment of a general mar- 

 ket for all kinds of produce. 



The Canadian Department of Agricul- 

 ture has issued a bulletin containing 

 "The Destructive Insect and Pest Act" 

 and the regulations issued thereunder. 

 The law, assented to May 4, 1910, pro- 

 hibits the importation of nursery stock, 

 except through certain designated ports 

 at designated seasons, and the regulations 

 promulgated for the enforcement of the 

 act provide for the fumigation of the 

 stock in the fumigation houses provided 

 for that purpose, after which certificates 

 are issued, without which no imported 

 nursery stock may be taken out of bond. 

 Nurserymen exporting to Canada should 

 send to the Hon. Sydney A. Fisher, Min- 

 ister of Agriculture, Ottawa, Can., for a 

 copy of the bulletin. 



CANADIAN EECIPEOCITY. 



The United States has done its part, 

 at last, in the adoption of the Canadian 

 reciprocity bill, but the bill will not go 

 into effect until the Canadian Parlia- 

 ment adopts it. 



The bill contains two paragraphs re- 

 lating to nursery products, the idea 

 being that the duties proposed shall be 

 identical in the two countries. They 

 are as follows: 



* * Grapevines, gooseberry, raspberry 

 and currant bushes, seventeen and one- 

 half per centum ad valorem." 



•'Trees: Apple, cherry, peach, pear, 

 plum and quince, of all kinds, and small 

 peach trees known as June buds, two 

 and one-half cents each." 



Under the existing laws Canada 

 levies on grapevines, gooseberry, rasp- 

 berry and currant bushes' a duty of 

 twenty per cent, while the United 

 States duty is twenty-five per cent. 

 Therefore our reduction is thirty per 

 cent as against twelve per cent reduc- 

 tion to be made by Canada, 



On apple, peach, cherry, pear, plum 

 and quince, the Canadian duty now is 

 3 cents each, while the United States 

 duty is $1 per thousand, $2 per thou- 

 sand, or twenty-five per cent ad valo-

I am sending under separate cover a 

 piece of pine which is infested with 

 white fly. Please let me know how to 

 kill the insects. E. L. 



The pine shoot forwarded was covered 

 with a species of white aphis which in 

 hot, dry seasons is particularly trou- 

 blesome on some species of pines and 

 spruces, the stems often being perfectly 

 white with it. If your trees are of 

 large size, it will be difficult to destroy 

 the pests, unless you have a spraying 

 pump. All the aphides must be sprayed, 



MentlOD The Review when yoa write 



and it is necessary to hit them with 

 any solution used to destroy them. For 

 small and medium sized trees an ordi- 

 nary force pump or knapsack sprayer 

 will answer well, but a more powerful 

 pump is necessary to reach trees thirty 

 to seventy-five feet high. Use kerosene 

 emulsion, Whale Oil soap or Ivory soap, 

 one pound to five gallons of water, or 

 any of the nicotine extracts, diluted as 

 per directions on boxes or cans. Poi- 

 sons of any kind are of no value. Use 

 a nozzle, such as the Vermorel or Bor- 

 deaux, to produce a fine, misty spray.

CATALFA LOSING ITS FOLLAGE. 



I am sending some leaves from a 

 tree, of which I do not know the name. 

 The tree is about eight feet high, with 

 a top shaped like an umbrella, I think 

 it is a Japanese tree of some kind. It 

 was in apparently good condition, but 

 suddenly started to wilt on top and in 

 two days it was withered almost com-
