NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 7

The fact has been determined by the Secretary of Agri¬ 
culture that a tree disease known as White Pine Blister 
Rust (Pertdermium strobi Kleb), new to and not heretofore 
widely prevalent or distributed within and throughout the 
United States, exists in Europe and Asia. 
Now, therefore, I, David F. Houston, Secretary of Agri¬ 
culture, under authority conferred by section 7 of the act 
approved August 20, 1912, known as “The Plant Quarantine 
Act,” do hereby declare that it is necessary, in order to 
prevent the introduction into the United States of the White 
Pine Blister Rust, to forbid the importation into the United 
States from each and every country of Europe and Asia 
of all five-leafed pines. 
Hereafter and until further notice, by virtue of said 
section 7 of the act of Congress approved August 20, 1912, 
the importation for all purposes of all five-leafed pines from 
the countries named is prohibited. 
This notice of quarantine amends and supersedes Notice 
of Quarantine No. i promulgated September 16, 1912, and 
shall be effective until otherwise ordered. 
Done at Washington this 21st day of May, 1913. 
Witness my hand and the seal of the United States

business meeting and forest investigation. 
C. R. Burr, Manchester, Conn., called at the office of the 
National Nurseryman on his western summer trip. 
The Columbia River trip was greatly enjoyed by every¬ 
one. The mountainous river banks and water falls reminded 
one of our delegates of the shores of the Straights of Magellan. 
The Pacific Coast Nurserymen have already hatched 
an egg in the shape of a boom for San Francisco for the 
convention of the American Association of Nurserymen for 
1915- 
June loth, P. Owerkerk, Hoboken, N. J., sailed for 
Europe on the Steamship New Amsterdam. 
W. P. Bates formerly of the Ohio nursery and Supply Co., 
Elyria, Ohio, was a caller at the National Nurseryman’s 
offices. Mr. Bates expects to establish a nursery in the 
vicinity of Cleveland. 
I may say that I have been in touch with your valuable paper for a 
considerable time, both in Scotland and since coming to America 
nearly six yeats ago, and I find it the most valuable publication for 
practical nurserymen. 
Kindly place us on your mailing list so that we may receive every 
issue of your paper; one year’s subscription enclosed. 
Yours very truly. 
Rose Hill, N. Y. F. W. Brow.
