The Florists^ RcvicW 17 i impression that at the hearing and sub- siequent conference the information given the board was against the advisa- bility of putting the quarantine into ef- fect. On the contrary, at the hearing of May 28, which was largely attended and of which a stenographic record was kept, the argument was strongly in favor of the quarantine and, as indi- cated in the early part of this statement, the restrictions which have been em- bodied in this quarantine were strongly urged and endorsed both by many repre- sentatives of the nursery trade and unanimously by letters received from offij^als representing the forest, agricul- tural and horticultural interests of the nation. The conference on October 18 was especially to give opportunity to the small body of commercial importers to discuss the restrictions provisionally determined upon in the regulations which would directly affect their inter- ests, and this discussion, therefore, nat- urally brought into prominence these objections. On the other hand, impor- tant producing nurserymen and florists, both in person and by letter, strongly supported the restrictions as then pre- sented and finally adopted. They Began It. "The argument presented that this quarantine is unjust to European coun- tries, particularly at this time when they are just released from the restric- tions on commerce caused by the war, has weight only in the keen sympathy we all feel, especially for Belgium and Trance. If, however, there are impor- tant dangers to be guarded against and therefore a real need for these restric- tions, mere sentiment, however strongly warranted, has no place. In point of fact, with respect to the two countries which have suffered most from the war—France and Belgium—the latter is the only one which is seriously af- fected by this quarantine. The plant exports of France are largely fruit tree stocks which are still permitted entry.
