REINSTATEMENT OF PETER HOPMAN & SONS 
Washington, D. G., July 21, 1922. 
The Federal Horticultural Board has received satis¬ 
factory assurance from Peter Hopman & Sons of Hil- 
legom. Holland, that they will comply hereafter with the 
quarantines and regulations governing the importation 
of plants into the United States. 
The action of the Board expressed in Circular Letter 
HB-139 is, therefore, hereby revoked. Permits for impor¬ 
tations from this firm will be issued in accordance with 
the quarantines and regulations.

Acting Chairman of Board. 
THE CONNECTICUT NURSERYMEN S ASSOCIATION 
Probably the most successful summer outing of the 
Connecticut Nurserymen’s Association was held last 
Wednesday, the 16th, at Hammonasset Beach, Conn. 
Approximately 100 persons took advantage of the ideal 
weather to run down to this popular link in the chain of 
State owned and controlled Parks. “Berberry” Burr over 
in Manchester declared the day a holiday and sent his 
entire “crew” down, including of course, the fair ladies 
who furnished good competition for the many attractions 
at the Beach. Barnes Bros, of Yalesville also sent down 
an “attractive delegation”. 
All enjoyed a dip in the briny deep, a good feed and a 
ball game after. This ball game was between teams rep¬ 
resenting the Nurserymen and The Tree Protective Asso¬ 
ciation who were holding an outing at the same time. The 
Nurserymen managed to win notwithstanding the 
“rotten” decisions rendered by the umpire, Mr. Ralph T. 
Olcott who was guest of the association at the outing. 
At a short business meeting held after dinner, four 
new members were admitted to the Association. 
The regular annual meeting will be held in the city of 
Hartford in January. F. J. Rippin.

IMPORTATION OF STOCKS OF RHODODENDRON, 
AZALEA AND JAPANESE MAPLE. 
Washington, D. C., August 11, 1922. 
The Federal Horticultural Board has investigated the 
availability of stocks for grafting purposes of Rhododen¬ 
dron ponticum and Azalea pontica seedlings, the impor¬ 
tation of which under special permits ceased June 1, 
1922. in accordance with Notice issued February 1, 1921. 
It appears that heavy loses have been suffered in the 
imported lots of these stock materials and that American 
grown seedlings are not yet available. It has been decided 
therefore, to extend for one season, or until July 1, 1923, 
the period during which seedlings of these two plants 
may be imported. Special permits will be issued for 
plants of three years’ growth or under, with the roots 
washed free of sand, soil or earth. 
It has also been represented that a sufficient supply of 
seedlings of Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) for graft¬ 
ing purposes is not available in this country. This matter 
has been investigated by the specialists of the Department 
of Agriculture and upon their recommendation special 
permits will likewise be granted for the importation of 
seedlings of this maple of three years’ growth or under 
for the period terminating July 1, 1923. The plants must 
have their roots washed free of sand, soil or earth. 
The entrv of these plants under special permit will be 
surrounded with the same safeguards which apply to 
other special permits issued under Quarantine 37. 
Application for permits should be made on Form 207. 
W. A. Orton, 
Acting Chairman, Federal Horticultural Board.
