HORTICULTURISTS VISIT ARNOLD 

 ARBORETUM. 



Cnder the dircition of the Commit- 

 tee on Gardens of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society the first of a 

 series of weekly meetings at the 

 Arnold Arboretum was held on Thurs- 

 day afternoon. April 22. These meet- 

 ings are intended for the members of 

 the Society with tlicir personal friends 

 who will be conducted through the Ar- 

 boretum by John G. Jack of the Ar- 

 boretum staff. .Mr. Jack will point out 

 and give information concerning the 

 flowering trees and shrubs suitable for 

 planting in this vicinity. 



At the meeting on April 22, thirty- 

 five species of plants were noted in 

 flower and interestingly described by 

 Mr. Jack. Among the more conspicu- 

 ous shrubs in bloom this week are the 

 numerous varieties of forsythias, form- 

 ing great yellow masses; the various 

 species of Japanese clierries with their 

 delicate tints of pink and white; and 

 particularly the early-flowering llhodo- 

 dendron praecox, a mass of pink bloom, 

 perfectly hardy here, and a most de- 

 sirable plant for April flowering. The 

 cornelian cherry, a tree covered with 

 yellow bloom, was also a noteworthy 

 object in the landscape. 



The further progress of the flower- 

 ing season will be watched with much 

 interest at tlie subsequent nieeting.s 

 which will be held at the same place 

 every Thursday afternoon beginning 

 at three o'clock.
