The Secretary of Agriculture already 

 is moving, under the new quarantine law, 

 to prohibit the importation of the plants 

 which may bring in the white pine blister 

 rust. The call for a hearing under the 

 law was sent out August 28 and is

The Chase Bros. Nursery Co., which 

 employs a large number of agents, con- 

 ducts an annual selling contest for six 

 weeks in the summer as a means of stim- 

 ulating business in the dull season. This 

 year the largest volume of summer sales

The nurserymen at Aalsmeer, Holland, 

 are rejoicing that a railroad has been 

 opened connecting their town with Haar- 

 lem and the world. Boskoop, where im-

 A. J. Baumhoefener started in the nurs- 

 ery business at Williamsburg, .la. In 

 1908 they removed to Cedar Kapids and 

 since have done business as the Cedar 

 Bapids Nursery Co. They grow a gen- 

 eral line of stock for the retail trade, 

 using thirty acres of land, and are doing 

 a nice business. 



CHILI GIVES US COLD DEAL. 



According to an official communica- 

 tion to the Department of Agriculture, 

 American exports of nursery stock to 

 Chili must be restricted hereafter to 

 entry at two ports, and will all be sub- 

 ject to examination for plant disease. 

 The importation of rooted grape vines 

 and peach trees is forbidden by Chili. 

 Other stock will be examined and if 

 found infected by diseases or parasites 

 dangerous to plant life the exporter 

 must either have it disinfected or re- 

 move it. The expense of the examina- 

 tion, to be made by the Chilian Bureau 

 of Plant Pathology, must be borne by
