The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mav 2, 1912. 



American Association of Nurserymen, 

 wrote as follows April 27: 



** There is nothing new or definite to 

 report in regard to the matter of fed- 

 eral inspection legislation. Some two 

 months ago our committee and the De- 

 partment of Agriculture came to an 

 agreement on the points of difference, 

 and we supposed that the bill would go 

 through. It has, however, been held up 

 in the House for several reasons, and 

 later bills have been introduced, so that 

 today we hardly know what the situa- 

 tion is. It begins to look, however, as 

 though it would be difficult to get 

 through any legislation this session on 

 account of the short time remaining." 



PLANTS IN THE MAILS. 



Those who do a mailing business in 

 plants of any character will do well 

 to see that every package, no matter 

 what its size or contents, carries the 

 state inspection certificate. Otherwise, 

 where the postmaster observes the regu- 

 lations, the package is likely to be re- 

 fused transportation in the mails. As 

 a matter of fact, the regulation recent- 

 ly promulgated by the Postmaster Gen- 

 eral applies only to plants "which 

 may carry injurious insects," but how 

 is the postmaster to know? To be on 

 the safe side, the inspection certificate 

 should be attached. 



The new ruling, which already has 

 caused some confusion, is in order No. 

 6158, recently promulgated by the Post- 

 master General, amending the Postal 

 Laws and Regulations with regard to 

 articles of the fourth class not abso- 

 lutely excluded from the mails. Para- 

 graph 8 of the order is as follows: 



* * Nursery stock, including field-grown 

 florists' stock, treeg, shrubs, plants, 

 vines, cuttings, grafts, scions and buds 

 (which may carry injurious insects), 

 may be admitted to the mails only when 

 accompanied by a certificate from a 

 state or government inspector to the 

 effect that said nursery stock has been 

 inspected and found free from injurious 

 insects." 



WITH ILLINOIS NURSERIES. 



The spring packing season of the 

 nurseries at Bloomington, 111., is rap- 

 idly drawing to a close and growers of 

 nursery stock are now devoting their 

 time and attention to planting new 

 stock. The pack this season has been 

 one of the largest for several years, 

 there being a great demand for all 

 kinds of trees and shrubbery. Fruit 

 trees have been in great demand, and 

 ornamental trees and shrubbery as well 

 as smaller fruit plants have been 

 shipped out in great quantities. 



B. J. Vandervoort, of the Corn Belt 

 nursery, stated April 23 that local nurs- 

 eries are putting out many acres of 

 plants in anticipation of future busi- 

 ness and it will take a couple of weeks ' 

 time yet before this work will have 

 been completed. Mr. Vandervoort 

 states that the peach crop in the ma- 

 jority of instances has been killed, as 

 the past winter was a prolonged one 

 and the weather was extremely cold. 

 The trees went into the winter season 

 rather green and were therefore more 

 susceptible to the frost. The plums are 

 damaged to some extent, but according 

 to Mr. Vandervoort the apples, cherries 

 and the more hardy fruits are unhurt. 

 Strawberries may suffer to some extent, 

 by reason of the frost that was in the 

 ground.
