 P. A. Weber. St. Louis; Sec'y. Geo. C. Sealer, 

 Rochester, N. Y.; Trea8.. C. L. Yates. Rochester, 

 N. Y. The twenty-eighth annual convention 

 will be held at Atlanta. Oa., June. 19M. 



One of the most useful of the low- 

 growing shrubs is Weigela rosea nana 

 variegata. 



Of all the golden evergreens Eetinos- 

 pora plumosa aurea is the most popular 

 and generally useful. 



The catalpa gives good satisfaction 

 for a time; then the planter wishes he 

 had chosen a maple, an elm or an oak. 



O. C. SiMONDS, Chicago, has been at 

 Quincy, III., to suggest a treatment for 

 an addition of eighteen acres to South 

 park. 



The Miller Nursery Co., Rochester, 

 N. y., has been incorporated with $30,- 

 000 capital. The directors are F. A. 

 Miller and Ada M. Miller, of Rochester, 

 and G. M. Kellogg, of Hornellsville. 



The Jonesboro Nursery and Planta- 

 tion Co., Jonesboro, Ark., has amended 

 its articles of incorporation, changing its 

 name to the American Nurseries Co. 

 and increasing its capital stock to 

 $10,000. 



The liriodendron is a splendid tree of 

 quick growth. One merit is its smooth 

 bark. Transplanting is best done in 

 spring, just as growth commences. It is 

 classed as reliably hardy, but some fine 

 trees succumbed in the vicinity of Chi- 

 cago when we had a winter with little 

 snow and alternate thaws and severe 

 cold. 



It is beginning to be understood that 

 the oak is not the difficult subject, of 

 slow growth, it has been considered. 

 When frequently moved in the nursery 

 row they form fibrous roots and are not 

 hard to establish in their permanent 

 location. The pin oak, Quercus palus- 

 tris, is of fairly rapid growth and will 

 stand many unfavorable conditions. It 

 should have room for development. 



Rhododendrons do well in most soils 

 that are free from limestone, but they 

 respond to liberal treatment. The na- 

 tive species are hardy as far north as 

 New England. A shelter belt is effective 

 where the position would otherwise be 

 unduly exposed. A mulch of lawn clip- 

 pings conserves moisture in summer and 

 a heavier mulch of manure in winter 

 protects the roots. Seeding should be 

 prevented. The plants are easily moved 

 in spring or fall and ship successfully 

 if dug with good balls of earth. 



A Belgian nursery grows immense 

 quantities of cacti from seed. Most of 

 the seed is gathered from old plants in 

 the nursery, but a considerable quantity 

 is imported from America, and it is a 

 curious fact that the nursery afterward 

 finds a good sale for the young plants 

 in the same country. The seed of the 

 mamillarias germinate in three to five 

 days; cereus, seven days; echinopsis, 

 eight days; echinocactus, ten or twelve 

 days ; opuntias, three to four weeks, of- 

 ten longer. Interesting new forms are 

 secured by cross-fertilization.
