Appendix. 23o 



Perennial plants are pretty planted close to the house or along 

 ^valks or fences. The best are Achillea (The Pearl), Anemone Japonica, 

 Arundo Donax, Campanula Carpatica, Columbine, Chrysanthemum, 

 Coreopsis Lanceolato, Delphinum Formosum, Eryngium, Funkias, Gal- 

 lardia Grandiflora, Helenium Hoopesi Helianthus Maximiliani, Hibiscus 

 Crimson Eye, Holly Hocks, liris, Lychnis Viscaria Splendens, Lythrum 

 Ruseum, Paeonias, Hardy Phlox, Platycodon, Spires Japonica, Yucca. 

 The following grasses should be planted by themselves: Arundo Donax, 

 Erianthus, Eulalias, Bamboo. AVundo and Bamboo require considerable 

 water; the edge of a pond or creek is an ideal situation. 



Silver maple and European sycamore are the most rapid growing 

 except Carolina popular, but to be useful as well as ornamental walnuts, 

 cherries, or others from which an income can be dei'ived, are best, especi- 

 ally on the farm. Elm, maple, oak, catalpa, linden, are very good, but 

 in growth are too slow for a street tree. Evergreens only do well 

 when the space between curb and walk is wide. Elm should never tr 

 set near tile drain, as the roots will completely fill the tile in a few years. 



The cost per plant for shrubbery of a medium size should not exceed 

 25 cents, except for rare kinds, as Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Japanese 

 maple, and fine varieties of evergreens, which are hard to propogate, also 

 new varieties. Roses at 35 cents are profitable to the nurseryman, and 

 should never exceed that except for new kinds. Street trees, which also 

 mean shade trees, are sold according to size. Those who can afford to 

 <io so, can get plans of their plantations drawn by experienced land- 

 scape architects at a small cost. It will be cheaper and more satis- 

 factory and the planting will look artistic when finished, especially when 

 on a large scale. 



BLACK RASPBERRY CULTIVATION. 



By Joseph Hall, Newberg, Oregon. 



This section of the Willamette Valley in the vicinity of Newberg and 

 Springbrook, Yamhill County, is very favorable for the cultivation of 

 black raspberries, which is proving to be a very profitable industry just 

 now. But very little interest has been taken in this branch of fruit 

 raising here till within the past four or five years, especially since a 

 cannery was built at Springbrook. The business is now on the increase. 

 We have in the surrounding county near by about twenty-five acres 

 bearing. The soil seems to be all right, both in valley near the river 

 and on side of the mountains near by, and on the farms on top of the 

 mountain — Chehalem Mountain. The clay loam and the red soil will 

 both produce well. Light soils, sandy, etc., dry out too soon, hence not 

 suitable. 



Variety. — Gregg. Two varieties here, both called Gregg.
