Forty-second annual convention will D« held at Philadelphia, Pa., June, 1917. Many California orchards are piped for the purpose of conveying spraying solution to the trees. Gypsy Moth Quarantine on Stone. The fact having been determined that egg clusters of the gypsy moth are being distributed on stone and quarry products from infested regions in New England, the secretary of ag- riculture has quarantined such sections and has ordered that no such ma- terial be moved interstate except in compliance with conditions of the quarantine. The district affected em- braces specified towns in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Rosa Jackii. This beautiful rose was introduced Into the arboretum from Korea sev- eral years ago by J. G. Jack, for whom it is named. It is one of the multi- flor® roses and has long stems which lie flat on the ground, lustrous foli- age and pure white flowers in wide many-flowered clusters. The flowers have the delicate fragrance of the musk rose. The hybridizer should be able to find in it a good subject from which to raise a race of hardy late- flowering rambler roses. It is now in bloom in the shrub collection.—^Ar- nold Arboretum Bulletin, July 19, 1916. Immune Chestnuts.

From its obscure beginnings in eastern New York about 12 years ago, it has swept into 19 states, and now affects about all of the northern half of our native chest- nut stands, doing damage estimated at close upon $50,000,000. It attacks the trees in twig, branch, and trunk, causing death in a year or two
