NEWS NOTES. 



J. A. Peterson has sent out a hand- 

 some colored plate of his new seedling 

 begonia, "Glory of Cincinnati." The 

 picture represents a plant in 4-inch pot 

 and well displays the wonderful pro- 

 fusion of bloom on this sterling nov- 

 elty. 



Pansies, like most other plants, ;iie 

 advanced far beyond the average a I 

 this season of the year in the vicinity 

 of Boston, being practically in the con- 

 dition now that they would be in mid- 

 dle May in ordinary years. Leonard 

 Cousins, Jr., at Concord .Junction has 

 250,000 of them and they are a sight 

 rarely seen in April in this latitude. 

 He is shipping them largely to the 

 trade. ' 



Harry S. Miller, at Bella Vista, West 

 Pairview. Penn.. sustained a loss of 

 about %?,Sm) on Sunday, April 11. A 

 forest fire came to within a few rods 

 of Mr. Miller's greenhouses which, to- 

 gether with his residence, were saved 

 after much hard work by a bucket 



brigade, the fire having put out of 

 commission his pipe line from a spring 

 some distance up the mountain. The 

 loss was confined to timber land, 

 wagons and some tools. 



Privet GROWN 

 for Hedges 



Satisfactory hedges are only 

 obtaioed by proper nursery 

 treatment Plants not prop- 

 erly treated in the nursery 

 must be cut back close to the 

 ground and practically started 

 all over again. Our California 

 rivet is grown specially for 

 hedges and makes a dense growth 

 of dark green, very shiny, orna- 

 mental foliage.
