QUARANTINE IN CAMFOENIA. 



The nurserymen of four counties in 

 alifornia are up in arms in opposition 

 a quarantine placed against Santa 

 lara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz and Ala- 

 meda counties by State Horticultural 

 ( "ommissioner Cook, prohibiting the 

 shipment of peach, pear, plum, prune 

 and cherry stock. Commissioner Cook 

 imposed t"he quarantine following com- 

 plaints from Sutter and Yuba counties, 

 where stock containing the peach borer 

 was received. 



As soon as notice of the quarantine 

 reached the trade a flood of letters and 

 telegrams of protest went to Governor 

 .(ohnson and a delegation headed by 

 (Jeo. C. Roeding, of Fresno, went to the 

 i-apital to demand a hearing, which was 

 jjranted, the date being set as Feb- 

 ruary 9, before Lieutenant Governor 

 Wallace, acting governor during the 

 absence of Governor Johnson. The 

 quarantine was ordered raised. 



OEIFFINOS' NEW NXTESEET. 



Griffing Bros.' Nursery Co. has 

 bought forty acres of land at Nona, 

 twenty-three miles northwest of Beau- 

 mont, Tex., which land is being con- 

 verted to nursery use. It will be one 

 of the Griffing brothers' several nur- 

 series and is part of the incorporated 

 company. The company has a force 

 of fifteen men employed on the tract 

 and has shipped from Port Arthur a 

 large quantity of young stock which 

 is being set at the Nona holdings. In 

 speaking of the matter W. D, Griffing 

 said: "We intend to run the Nona 

 nursery as an adjunct to the Port 

 Arthur nursery. We are starting in 

 a small way with forty acres and may 

 increase our acreage. We will grow a 

 general variety of trees and plants, in- 

 cluding peaches, plums, orange and 

 pecan. We have decided to go into 

 the rolling country farther north in 

 order to raise several varieties which 

 we have found do not do so well near 

 the coast. No outside capital is going 

 into this investment; it is wholly a 

 imrt of the Griffing Bros. ' Nursery Co., 

 Hnd is intended as an adjunct of the 

 nursery at Port Arthur."

 customer will be more than pleaEed. I still have a large 

 stock of good, bushy plants to offer. Let me quote you.
