WINTER WINDOW BOXES. 



There is an opportunity now to make 

 some extra money from outside win- 

 dow boxes. It has come to be a grow- 

 ing custom to fill these boxes with 

 evergreens for winter. The effect is 

 always excellent whether the boxes 

 be on a private house or on a store or 

 on a factory- The possibilities in this 

 line have not been taken full advan- 

 tage of. though. There is no reason 

 why the practice could not be greatly 

 extended with a little pushing. It 

 would be a simple matter to send a 

 well worded note or a typewritten cir- 

 cular to business concerns and to own- 

 ers of private residences who have 

 been using window boxes during the 

 summer, asking them if they would not 

 like to have the boxes filled with cold 

 weather material. 



I think that it would pay the retail 

 florist to make a good window display, 

 showing two or three boxes of different 

 kinds filled and ready for use. It 

 might be even possible to arrange an 

 imitation window with a box attached. 

 The D. Hill Nursery Co., of Dundee. 

 111., has made a specialty of win- 

 dow box evergreens for several years. 

 Among the plants which they find use- 

 ful for the purpose are Picea canaden- 

 sis, Pinus Mugho and Thuya pyramid- 

 alis. In the southern states consider- 

 able more material is available. 



THE MOUNTAIN HALESIA OR 

 SILVER BELL TREE. 

 Until the beginning of the present 

 century the botanists who visited the 

 high Appalachian Mountains appear to 

 have taken it for granted that the 

 Halesia which grows at altitudes 

 above 2500 feet_ was the same as the 

 bushy tree of the foothills and upland 

 valleys of the Piedmont region and 

 southward. This idea having been 

 generally accepted and as the lowland 

 plant had for more than a century 

 been common in gardens no attempt 

 was made to cultivate the mountain 

 tree, and the gardens of the United 

 States and Europe have been deprived
