Prlnsepla Sinensis. 



The value of this handsome shrub 

 becomes more and more apparent with 

 the passing years. This Prinsepia is 

 a perfectly hardy, vigorous and fast- 

 growing shrub; the young leaves and 

 the flowers have never been injured 

 Dy spring frosts, and it can be said of 

 it that it is the best contribution 

 Mongolia has made to our gardens. 

 Prinsepia sinensis has proved difficult 

 to propagate, but two years ago it pro- 

 duced for the first time a little fruit 

 and this seed has germinated. It Is 

 possible, too with skill and patience to 

 increase this plant by cuttings, but 

 until the Arnold Arboretum plants pro- 

 duce good crops of fruit Prinsepia 

 sinensis will not be common in this 

 country. If it could be obtained in 

 sufficient quantities it would make a 

 beautiful and impenetrable hedge as 

 the stems and branches are armed 

 with sharp spines. 



Winter-flowering Witch Hazels. 

 The southern Missouri and Asiatic 

 Witch Hazels have all flowered during 

 the winter, but for some reason which 

 it is not easy to explain their flowers 

 opened five or six weeks later than 

 in other years. Hamamelis mollis 

 from central China is the handsomest 

 of these plants and well deserves a 

 place in winter gardens for its flowers 

 with their large bright yellow petals 

 and handsome leaves which In late 

 autumn assume before falling bril- 

 liant shades of yellow. A Japanese 

 species (H. Incarnata), differing from 

 all the other Witch Hazels in the 

 dark red petals of its small flowers 

 drooping on long stems. Is a recent 

 addition to the Arnold Arboretum col- 

 lection and has flowered this winter 

 for the first time. As a botanical cu 

 rioslty it Is interesting, but judged by 

 the first flowers It has produced in 

 America it has little to recommend it 

 as a garden plant. 



FLOWERS SCARCE IN LONDON 

 It is reported from across the water 

 that London is very short of flowers 

 and that high prices prohibit the 

 adorning of homes with floral decora- 

 tions. A dispatch from London says 

 that the handsome homes of Belgravia 

 and May fair districts which are tra- 

 ditionally renowned tor their fresh 

 flower decorations in spring, show this 

 year a most denuded appearance. 

 Many women have grown flowers and 

 plants in their drawing rooms to com- 

 bat the high prices of flowers, but their 

 crops have not been sufficient to give 

 their homes the appearance of other 

 years
