NURSERY NEWS. 



The catalogue of Thomas Meehan & 

 Sons, of Philadephia, came to us by ex- 

 press. 



Syrixga japonica extends the lilac 

 season a full month. The flowers arc 

 white but scentless. 



"An old-fashioned, hardy garden for 

 $5" is the way one nurseryman makes a 

 bid for mail orders. 



These are few better trees for small 

 lawns than the birch, which is described 

 by its name, Betula alba laciniata pen- 

 dula. 



E. E. HuRLBtTRT has bought the in- 

 terests of G. B. Spitler and W. B. Hun- 

 ter in the Mt. Zion Nursery Co., Mt. 

 Zion, 111. 



The Eeliance Nursery Co., Geneva, N. 

 y., has been incorporated with $20,000 

 capital stock by John M., Timothy J. 

 and MaVy E. Twomly. 



The Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City, 

 Minn., incorporated with $100,000 capi- 

 tal stock, has been licensed to operate in 

 "Wisconsin with $10,000 capital. 



The sugar and Norway maples are 

 preferable for permanency to the more 

 rapid-growing silver variety. These do 

 well in most soils and are probably the 

 most frequently used trees for street 

 planting. 



The Wm. H. Moon Co. has issued one 

 of the handsomest nursery catalogues of 

 the year. The cover is white, green and 

 gold, the paper and presswork good and 

 text and illustrations commendable. The 

 book is sewed with thread so that it 

 opens flat. 



It is stated that Otto Katzenstein, 

 formerly with the Pinehurst Nurseries, 

 has formed a partnership with S. Z. 

 Euff to handle extensive southern fields 

 of Rhododendron catawbiense and Kal- 

 mia latifolia which they have acquired. 

 Their headquarters will be at Atlanta, Ga. 



Evert retail florist who has a piece 

 of ground should plant specimens of a 

 few of the best and most salable trees, 

 shrubs and fruits. With well-grown spec- 

 imens as samples he can take many or- 

 ders for planting at the proper season, 

 obtaining his stock from any one of the 

 many reliable wholesale nurseries.
