QUABANTINE THE WHITE PINE. 



Ag reported briefly in last week's 

 issue of The Review, following a hear- 

 ing before the newly organized horti- 

 cultural board on the subject of white 

 pine blister rust, the Department of 

 Agriculture issued a proclamation Sep- 

 tember 16, prohibiting the importation 

 of white pine from Oreat Britain, 

 France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, 

 Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Aus- 

 tria, Switzerland and Italy. The species 

 and the horticultural varieties which 

 will be prohibited entrance into the 

 United States include white pine, "Web- 

 ster white pine, sugar pine and stone or 

 Cembrian pine. The department holds 

 that the blister rust is a fungous dis- 

 ease and would be a most undesirable 

 importation into the United States. If 

 brought here, as it is liable to be, on 

 imported nursery stock, it would prob- 

 ably cause enormous damage to conifer- 

 ous forests. 



Preliminary to making this procla- 

 mation, the board in charge of the new 

 plant quarantine law held a hearing, at 

 which appeared William Pitkin, of 

 Bochester, N. Y., chairman of the com- 

 mittee on legislation of the American 

 AsBociation of Nurserymen; W. R. 

 Rolker, representing the importing firm 

 of A. Rolker & Sors and the French ex- 

 porting house of Levavasseur & Sons, 

 James McHutchison and C. B. Knick- 

 man, representing McHutchison & Co., 

 New York city. 



While no serious objection was mnde 

 to the theory of the quarantine, the 

 nurserymen thought that it should not

abroad where the blister rust is un- 

 known. It was said a number of nurs- 

 eries in France are free of the disease. 

 Dr. Metcalf, the pathologist for the de- 

 partment, explained that the number of 

 nurseries abroad infested with the blis- 

 ter rust is on the increase. Further- 

 more, he said, if certain nurseries were 

 permitted to send trees to the United 

 States they could easily take trees from 

 their neighbors infested with the dis- 

 ease and export them. A system of in- 

 spection of the foreign nurseries he 

 thought would be impossible and the 

 only way in which to afford protection 

 would be to absolutely prohibit the im- 

 portation. 



The committee read a letter from the 

 Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, N. Y., 

 which said there was no objection to 

 the quarantine of the young trees, but 

 it was believed that the older trees and 

 particular varieties of white pine might 

 be permitted to come in. Most of the
