 did at the recent botanical congress held at Vienna, and have 

 agreed on a standard nomenclature, it would seem that horticul- 

 turists and nurserymen might agree to be governed by it. and 

 put an end to the present practice of each nursery naming things

 was prepared by scholarly men and describes about every varie- 

 ty of plant and shrub to be found in American nurseries and gar- 

 dens. Why not try using the names given therein for a while 

 and see how it works? 



L. R. Moyer: I want to make the statement that the Monte- 

 video station has been devoted almost wholly to the trial of or- 

 namental shrubs. We have a little orchard, a very small one, 

 nearly all planted with Russian apple trees that I received from 

 the Iowa Agricultural College twelve years ago. Among those 

 apples that were grafted the best was the Anisette, identical

 an excellent summer apple, being about ten days earlier than the 

 Duchess, although the tree unfortunately is quite a blighter. 



Outside of the orchard the grounds have been planted with 

 ornamental shrubberv. I do not know whether the word orna-
