those benefits which his own work adds to the wealth of 
civilization. 
RELOCATION OF LABOR 
The conversion of the industry of the country from a 
peace basis to a war basis involved a general and impor¬ 
tant dislocation of labor. This movement was gradual. 
The end of the war involves a much more rapid change 
in industry; while there will be a great demand for labor 
to meet the foreign and domestic requirements there may 
be for a time in special places a temporary condition of 
unemployment. 
GOOD PROMISE FOR SPRING RUSINESS 
From almost every source comes optimistic reports of 
a promising spring business. 
Orders are being booked for spring delivery largely 
in excess of other years. 
It looks as if there would be freer flowing channels of 
distribution as the railroad situation seems to be clear¬ 
ing up. 
There is small likelihood of costs coming down either 
in labor or material although the former ought to be 
easier due to demobilization and the stopping of so much 
war work. 
Everything considered it looks as if the nurserymen 
were going to have as much business as they can attend 
to and at good prices.

Gentlemen:— 
I beg to call your attention to a little joker in the new 
Quarantine Regulations, No. 37, which as printed, might 
prove a very serious matter for bulb importers. 
According to a decision given recently the word “Tu¬ 
lips” as mentioned in the tariff law^s, with no reference 
to bulbs, is held not to cover tulip bulbs. By the( same 
token the words “Narcissus, Hyacinths, tulips and cro¬ 
cus as printed in the pamphlet issued by the Federal Hor¬ 
ticultural Board may not be considered by the courts in 
the light of bulbs. True the words “certain bulbs” ap¬ 
pear in Regulation 3 but they may refer in a legal way 
only to “lily bulbs” which are described as bulbs. 
May I request you to kindly mail a copy of the Na¬ 
tional Nurseiyman and bill for year’s subscription. 
Yours very truly, 
E. J. Krug.
