ARTHUR T. BODDINGTON COMPANY, Inc., 



342 West 14th St., NEW YORK 



BRITISH HORTICULTURE, 

 Practical Sympathy, 



The Royal Horticultural Society 

 Council has decided to send to Serbia 

 seeds to the value of £500 (pounds) 

 which have been supplied by Hurst & 

 Son, of London. The consignment has 

 been shipped to the Co-operative Union 

 in Serbia for distribution. It is large- 

 ly owing to the secretary of the society 

 (Rev. W. Wilks), to Mr. Arthur Sut- 

 ton and other members of the subcom- 

 mittee appointed to deal with the im- 

 mediate needs of Serliia that the task 

 of discovering exactly what these 

 needs were and of contributing toward 

 their satisfaction has been discharged 

 so promptly. 



Extension at Kew. 



A new laboratory of plant pathology 

 has been opened at the Royal Botanic 

 Gardens, Kew, and will form a valu- 

 able addition to that institution Mr. 

 A. D. Cotton, assistant in the herbari- 

 um, has been promoted to a first-class 

 assistantship in the new lal)oratory, 

 and W. B. Brierley, of Manchester Uni- 

 versity, has been appointed a first-class 

 assistant. 



The War and the Nursery Trade, 

 With a view to inducing the public 

 to act upon the motto of "business as 

 usual" as regards their gardens, the 

 secretary to the Royal Horticultural 

 Society has addressed another letter 

 to the press, following one published 

 on the same subject a few months ago. 

 It is pointed out that the nursery and 

 seed trade is very seriously depressed. 

 The entire cessation .of gardening will 

 not only cause financial loss, but an 

 irretrievable sacrifice of many years' 

 labor spent in introducing new and Im- 



proved varieties of fruits, vegetables 

 and flowers. "They (the trade), right- 

 ly feel," the letter states, "that as they 

 have catered for our highest happiness 

 in times past, it is hardly right that 

 they should now be brought to a posi- 

 tion in which they can no longer even 

 retain their employees' services. Most 

 of their younger men have enlisted, 

 and they ask not for the usual trade, 

 but for just sufficient support to keep 

 them going, and to meet current ex- 

 penses, which cannot be suspended. 

 The president and council feel that in 

 drawing the attention of fellows to this 

 trade aspect of the question they are 

 but again advising that medium policy 

 which in the long run is always the 

 wisest, and fellows are urged not to 

 forget this when framing their econ- 

 omies." 



Dahlia Novelties. 

 A batch of dahlias has lately re- 

 ceived awards of merit from the Floral 

 Committee of the rjoyal Horticultural 

 Societ.v, acting conjointly with the Na- 

 tional Dahlia Society. Stredwick & 

 Sons, have added Herald, a variable 

 collarette, deep pink with white collar. 

 Miss Judd, cactus, lemon yellow, and 

 Washington, cactus, with incurved flor- 

 ets of deep crimson. The name of 

 Warnoford, has been given to a pure 

 white decorative flower, exhibited by 

 J. West. Cheal & Sons, obtained 

 awards for Primrose Queen, light yel- 

 low petals, and straw tinted collar, and 

 for Yellow Star. Other varieties gain- 

 ing awards were Caprice, from A. Tur- 

 ner — a decorative single, with white 

 petals, tinted with maroon, and Scarlet 

 Queen, from Dobbie & Co., a brilliant 

 collarette. W. H. Adsktt. 



MASS. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 

 NOTES. 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 

 M. A. C. held its first meeting of the 

 year last Thursday. At that time the 

 following officers were elected: C. E. 

 Wildon, Melrose, president; H. H. 

 Walkden, Westford, vice-president; 

 Miss E. H. Chase, Holden, secretary- 

 treasurer. The members of the pro- 

 gram committee are H. H. Walkden, 

 Westford; E. J. Cardarelli, Boston; W, 

 P. Lyford, Natick. 



A. S. Thurston has been spending a 

 few days in the Arnold Arboretum dur- 

 ing the past week in checking up a key 

 to vines for Prof. R. W. Curtis of the 

 Landscape Art Dept. at Cornell. 



A perennial collection of 300 varie- 

 ties and species has been begun at the 

 college and will be added to extensive- 

 ly in the future. This perennial collec- 

 tion is a new feature inaugurated by 

 Prof. A. H. Nehrling and bids fair to 

 become one of the most attractive fea- 

 tures in the Floriculture Dept. It will 

 give an excellent opportunity for the 

 study of perennials to which so much 

 attention is being directed of late. 

 Each species and variety is labeled 

 witli an aluminum label. The lettering 

 w;is done by means of acid. Much of 

 this lettering was done by W. H. Hat- 

 field, '15, Brookllne.
