NEWS NOTES. 



A miniature cyclone which swept 

 over Keene, N. H., on May 5, lifted 

 the roof from the greenhouse of W. M. 

 Foley, wrenched seven ventilators 

 from their places and destroyed about 

 a hundred lights of glass besides in- 

 juring many of the plants on which 

 the broken glass was thrown. The 

 tempest came without warning and 

 was over in a few moments. 



Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, 

 Mass., has established recently a ae- 

 pavtment of forestry and ornamental 

 planting. Tinder G. Bleicken, who is 

 in charge, 50,000 shrubs have been 

 propagated this winter and heavy or- 

 ders have been given for hybrid roses 

 and rhododendrons. A U-Bar propa- 

 gating house, 40 X 00, finished a short 

 time ago, is giving great satisfaction. 



A. L. Rose. Boston, landscape archi- 

 tect, has taken a position with the 

 Hoyt Nursery Co., Minneapolis, Minn. 



The engagement is announced of 

 Fiank Edgar, of the W. W. Edgar Co., 



Vaverley, Mass., and Miss Marguerite-
