The eleventh annua] convention of the 

 National Nut Growers' Association will 

 be held at (lulfport, Miss., October 31 to 

 November 2, 1912. 



William A. 1'eteksox, T5. E. Gage 

 and Foreman Erickson, of Peterson 

 Nursery, Chicago, are this week making 

 an automobile tour of inspection among 

 the nurseries of central Illinois. 



Answering several inquiries, the stand- 

 ard grades for nursery stock as adopted 

 at the Boston convention of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen were pub- 

 lished in The Review for July 20, 1911, 

 in the form of a committee report. 



The annual nu'eting of the Southern 

 Nursery Association will be held at Au- 

 gusta, Ga., August 2S to 80. The head- 

 i|uarter8 for the convention will be at 

 the Albion hotel. K. V. Berckmaus, of 

 Augusta, has charge of tiie local arrange- 

 ments. 



The newspapers at Davenport, la., 

 where Klehm's Nurseries, of Arlington 

 Heights, 111., have been putting in a new- 

 park, report that a settlement has been 

 made by the i)ark commissioners by the 

 ])ayment of $.^,360. Of the amount 

 $1,110 was paid for labor, benches and 

 interest. As per contract, $1,550 Avas 

 paid for the plans and specifications. The 

 balance of the total, $2,700, covered the 

 cost of trees, shrubbery and })lants. 



Albert Brownell, of Portland, Ore., 

 speaking of the general condition of the 

 nursery trade in the northwest, said: 

 ■'Stock last spring was closely cleaned 

 up, save apple trees, a few young apple 

 being carrie<l into two-year form. The 

 plantings of nursery stock for this sea- 

 son's growth have been somewhat re- 

 duced. I lielieve that about as many 

 apple trees will be ])lanted the coming 

 year as were jilanted liist spring. About 

 the same amount of general run of nur- 

 sery stock will be called for. Conditions 

 are encouraging. ' ' 



THE NEW QUARANTINE BILL. 



As announced exclusively in this de- 

 imrtment of The Review for July 25, a 

 new quarantine bill was reported to the 

 Senate July 2.'i. The legislative com- 

 mittee of the .\. A. N. had no informa- 

 tion of this, but it ])roves to be the old 

 l)ill introduce<l .lanuarv 15, 1912, and 

 referred to the committee on agricul- 

 ture, re-written but not materially 

 "hanged in its provisions. This bill

was accepted by the nurserymen's com- 

 mittee for fear that something worse 

 would result from continued opjiositiou, 

 and the action of the committee was 

 endorsed at the Boston convention in 

 June. 



The bill is printed in full on page 15 

 of this issue. 



"In general," says a report of the 

 committee accompanying the bill, "the 

 federal powers granted in this act re- 

 late to the establishment of foreign and 

 domestic quarantine, the issuance of 

 ])ermits, foreign certification, and the 

 distribution to the several state or ter- 

 ritorial officials of exact information in 

 regard to origin, arrival, and destina- 

 tion of importations. To the several 

 states are left the responsibility of in- 

 spection at destination of imported 

 stock and the cleaning up and disinfec- 

 tion of local quarantined districts. 



"Section 1 provides that 'nursery 

 stock' may be imjwrted only after a 

 permit has been taken out and when 

 accompanied by a certificate showing 

 foreign inspection. The issuance of the 

 permit is mandatory when the condi- 

 tions of the section have been met. 



"While the issuance of the permit 

 required in this section is mandatory, it 

 nevertheless affords a large protection, 

 in that it gives opportunity for a warn- 

 ing, if necessary, to be sent to the im- 

 ]>orter before he makes his importation 

 if the goods covered are deemed dan- 

 gerous, and also opi>ortunity to warn the 

 state official long in advance of the in- 

 tended importation of stock if the same 

 again is deemed likely to carry danger. 

 "Furthermore, the foreign certifica- 

 tion can be made to have distinct value, 

 inasmuch as such certification to be ac- 

 cei)table can be required to be made by 

 l)roper and accredited foreign officers, 

 ami of such character as to give as- 

 surance that the stock covered is clean. 

 "Finall.v, the permit and the foreign 

 certification will act of themselves 

 largely to jirevent the importation of 

 refuse stock by department stores or 

 such as is now shipped in by foreign 

 dealers to be sold at auction, and very 

 much miscellaneous small importations,

"Section 5. after due notice and 

 ]mblic hearing, makes provision for the 

 inclusion under the provisions of the 

 act, when necessary, of the plants and 

 l)lant products excepted in the defini- 

 tion of 'nursery stock,' as given in sec- 

 tion 6. The quarantine sections 7 and 

 H and the subsequent sections of the 

 act applv to all plants and plant prod- 

 ucts, including these excepted articles. 



"In the quarantine provisions the 

 particular plant conveying the danger is 

 excluded, but no unnecessary restric 

 tions are to be placed upon other plants 

 not affected bv such quarantine. 



' ' The ITnited States is the only great 

 power without protection from the im- 

 i>ortation of insect-infested or diseased 

 'jdant stock. Referring to Euroi)eau 

 t)owers only, Austria-Hungary, France. 

 (Jermanv, ^Holland, Switzerland, and 

 Turkev' ])rohibit absolutely the entr.^ 

 from the United States of all uurserj 

 stock, and admit fruit only when tne 

 most rigid examination shows freedom 

 from infestation; and most of the others 

 have verv strict quarantine and "^^^^^' 

 tion laws, and the same is true of tne 

 important Kritish and other colonia 

 ])ossessions.

 and insect-infested plants have no ha

"The danger which led to the nrsi 

 attempt to get this legislation is still '' 

 existence— that is, the likelihood of.j"j 

 establishment throughout the ^'"';^-i
