California Privet and is a feature in 

 Ibolium Privet's favor. 



Photograph No. 3 shows a typical 

 Ibolium Privet coming two years old, 

 dug from nursery row July 15. 



The mature foliage of Ibolium Privet 

 resembles the California Privet to a 

 marked degree, being perhaps in com- 

 parison with it a little less glossy and 

 of a somewhat lighter shade of green. 

 Under the pruning knife it quickly 

 conforms to any required shape thick- 

 ening up rapidly owing to its disposi- 

 tion to throw out lateral growths 

 freely. 



Ibolium Privet matures its foliage a 

 little earlier than California Privet, in 

 the late fall, taking on before ma- 

 turity the richest bronze hues. 



Ibolium Privet when left untrimmed 

 develops into a graceful shrub, which 

 flowers so profusely as to give it a 

 place among the best flowering shrubs, 

 see photo No. 4, followed with clusters 

 of fruits which remain on to adorn the 

 plant well into the winter. 



ECHOES OF THE CONVENTION 



Everybody agreed that at the close 

 of the convention in Cleveland last 

 week that it was the most businesslike 

 gathering of the kind ever held. The 

 members attended the meetings faith- 

 fully, paid close attention, and for the 

 most part cut out mere pleasure seek- 

 ing, although many of them visited the 

 greenhouses around Cleveland through 

 the courtesy of local growers. 



The election of Thomas Roland of 

 Nahant as president was received 

 with great enthusiasm. At first Mr. 

 Roland was a little reluctant to take 

 the honor, but could not well with- 

 stand the pressure brought to bear 

 upon him. The directors elected were 

 Carl Hagenburger and Thomas Joy. 



Perhaps the only disagreeable fea- 

 ture about the convention was the ac- 

 custice of the hall. Most of the speak- 

 ers had great difficulty in making their 

 voices heard. Major P. F. O'Keefe of 

 Boston was an exception, in fact, Mr. 

 O'Keefe may be put down when he 

 spoke and everybody listened with the 

 closest attention.

BOSTON MEN AT THE CONVEN- 

 TION 



Greater Boston was well repre- 

 sented at the S. A. F. convention in 

 Cleveland last week. Among those 

 present were Thomas Roland, S. J. 

 Goddard, E. Allen Peirce, Geo. Elliott, 

 W. D. Howard and Wife, John O'Brien, 

 Major P. P. O'Keefe, J. J. Slattery of 

 Galvin's, Edward Welch, and Mr. and 

 Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy. Some of the 

 Boston representatives came home as 

 soon as the convention was over, 

 while others lingered along the way. 

 Mr. Elliott took advantage of the op- 

 portunity to visit friends in Chicago. 

 Of course, all the Boston people were 

 enthusiastic over the election of Mr. 

 Roland as president.
