SEEDLING TREES. 



We have written of the wild flowers, 

 mossy lichens and stones which can 

 be shown in our miniature Wild Gar- 

 dens in May. We have not mentioned 

 the beautiful little seedling-trees which 

 could be used with good effect. Later 

 in the summer those tiny trees seem 

 lost in the general growth of our 

 forests. This is partly because they 

 lose the beautiful red color which 

 graces these little maples in May, or 

 the exquisite soft velvety red and sil- 

 very white o£ the oaks. For a dark 

 effect or background the seedling 

 cedars or small pines could be shown. 



If we go to the woods for material 

 for our Wild Gardens we will come 

 home with our hands full of treasures 

 of which we liad not thought when 

 setting forth. 



This spring a package of wild plants 

 was sent to us from Mount Vernon in 

 the state of Washington. Thirty ferns 

 of various kinds with roots of salmon 

 berries and wild blackberries. Tucked 

 in among the larger plants were some 

 Tiarallas or foam-flowers, some rattle- 

 snake's plantain and a pretty little 

 vine. Coming in the midst of a bliz- 

 zard, it seemed to bring the very 

 breath of the woods of Mount Vernon 

 with it. 



The ferns were so carefully packed 

 witli moss around their roots, that 

 they began to grow as soon as they 

 were taken out from their canvas-cover 

 and placed in a box till the beds by 

 our wood road were open. 



The whole package came as e. return 

 for a paper on Japanese Wineberries, 

 written for Horticulture last sum 

 mer. The Wineberries were wanteo 

 for trial in Mount Vernon, the Salmon- 

 berries in Weston. Later in the sea- 

 son we will describe the Salmonberries. 

 Now about all that we know of them 

 is that we have wanted to grow them 

 ever since our return from Alaska. We 

 also want to watch the little yew or 

 taxus and the Libocedrus decurens or 

 cedar seedlings which were included in 

 the package. M. R. C.v.se.
