The P. .T. Berckmans Co. is to be 

 credited with, having provided two de- 

 lightful features. An evening reception 

 was given at the Country Club and the 

 following afternoon the guests were 

 taken for an automobile ride through

 light refreshments were served. 



THE QUARANTINES BEGIN. 



The "Act to regulate the importation 

 of nursery stock and other plants and 

 plant products," published in full in 

 The Review for August 1, passed by 

 Congress in the latter days of the re- 

 cent session and approved by the Presi- 

 dent August 20, already is beginning to 

 bear upon the nursery and seed trades. 

 The Secretary of Agriculture has an- 

 nounced that he proposes to exercise 

 the power vested in him by the new 

 law and declare a quarantine against 

 the Territory of Hawaii in the case of 

 the Mediterranean fruit fly, and also to 

 prohibit the importation from Great 

 Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, 

 Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Ger- 

 many, Austria, Switzerland and Italy 

 of four species of pines and their hor- 

 ticultural forms liable to introduce the 

 white pine blister rust, namely, white 

 l)ine (Pinus Strobus), western white pine 

 (Finns monticola), sugar pine (Pinus 

 Tiambertiana) and stone or Cembrian 

 ]>ine (Pinus Cembra). The importation

In compliance with the law, however, 

 he will, before issuing his quarantine 

 proclamations, give public hearings to 

 persons interested who may appear in

 views in writing. Announcement is here- 

 by made that these hearings will be

PLANTING EVEBOBEEN^. 



Next to spring, the last part of 

 August and first half of September is

of failure are few. Dig liberal holes 

 for all trees and shrubs. Do not allow 

 the sun and wind to dry the roots. 

 Water well before filling the hole up. 

 Be sure to firm the compost thoroughly 

 about the roots. Mulch with old ma- 

 nure, decaying leaves or some similar 

 material, and, to make doubly sure of 

 success, where circumstances will al- 

 low it, give the newly moved plants a 

 hosing over occasionally. Dryness at 

 the root is fatal to all evergreens. It 

 is the dryness, and not the winter cold, 

 which is annually responsible for so 

 many deaths. Planting, carefully done 

 at this season, of any of the coniferK, 

 rhododendrons, kalmias, andromedas 

 and the evergreen euonymus, will give 

 satisfactory results. The ideal planting 

 days are cloudy, cool and showery. 

 Avoid moving trees when hot, drying 

 winds prevail.
