Menace in Foreign-Crown Plant
Ban June 1 Is
Cited
HIGHER PRICES FORESEEN t
A government embargo ngninst the
I importation of foreign flowers nnd
plants to piccnt the spread of niallg-
nant insects in this country which will
become effective .June 1. was condemned
I today by two prominent I'liilnilelpliln
nurserymen.
The new regulation, which has been
'ordered by the Federal Horticultural
, ltonrd. permits the importation of Ens
i ter lily bulbs from Japan and Holland
bulbs, including lilies, narcissus, tulips
nnd crocuseH. 'Among the plants cut
off from America by the embargo will
he orchids, azaleas, Rtiowdrops, dah
lias, peonies, Iris, anemone, begonias,
gladiolus, glo7,lnin, rhndodendruns, box
wood, bay trees nnd palms.
I "Tt will take American growers years
to produce what nre now ready in
' Furnpe," said .7. Edward Moon of the
Moon inn series nnd of the American
Nursey Association. "Tt will take a
number of years, for example, to grow
bov biisheR. The suburban owners will
' be deprived of what' they have been
I accustomed to buy for n period of ten
1 or twelve years. AVhen America does
produce the plants which xe will he
i deprived of. the cost will Iip higher,
1 bpcnuse of the higher wage rates.
'T doubt whether the nurserymen
will then enter on their production be
cause there will be no security in the
undertaking due to the fear Hint the
embargo order may be removed nt any
time. They are not likely to invest
large sums in this development to meer
