 the forelock by shaping a tentative pro-

Eight million trees will be available 

 for next spring's reforesting operations 

 from the stock of the Pennsylvania state 

 nurseries. More than half of the trees 

 are white pines. Many are furnished free 

 of charge to individuals, but the restric- 

 tions are that free trees must be used for 

 reforesting and not for shade or orna- 

 mental planting. 



The Oklahoma Nursery & Seed Co., of 

 Muskogee, Okla., has purchased all other

 of the nursery is guaranteed, and the com- 

 pany expects to push vigorously prosecu- 

 tions against fake nursery peddlers who 

 travel through the country and unload on 

 unsuspecting purchasers.

PYEAMIDAL YEWS. 



Is there a Japanese yew of pyramid 

 form in cultivation? D. H. — O. 



I do not know of a pyramidal Jap- 

 anese yew. Taxus baccata Hibernica, 

 the Irish yew, is the best columnar- 

 habited form of yew we have, but it 

 is less hardy than the Japanese yews. 

 If protected a little, however, it has 

 stood a temperature several degrees 

 below zero in the east without injury.

WINTERING BOXWOODS. 



I would appreciate your expert ad- 

 vice on the following method of han- 

 dling boxwoods in winter storage: Our 

 boxwoods have grown in our nursery 

 since spring. I propose to dig them 

 with an earth ball attached, burlap 

 them, soak them in water and pack 

 them in moist shingle tow. Paper wiU 

 be tied loosely around the tops; then 

 they will be packed lightly in straw in 

 a slightly reclining position. Our stor- 

 age house is brick, lined with paper 

 and sheathing. Plenty of light and 

 air can be admitted, but there is no 

 heating device. Do you think that by 

 this method I can successfully bring 

 this stock through the winter, or must 

 there be more light, air and heatf 

 Your opinion on this matter will be 

 much appreciated. E. B. S. — 111.

fectly if stored as described. Artificial 

 heat ia unnecessary and would even be 

 harmful. Provided the balls are moist 

 and are not allowed to become dry be- 

 fore the stock is planted out in the 

 spring, I feel sure your stock will come 

 through in fine shape. A subdued light 

 for winter storage is preferable to a 

 strong one for all evergreens, including 

 bay trees, Irish yews, aucubas, English 

 yews, hollies and other plants that are 

 more or less tender in our climate. 

 Ventilate abundantly during all favor- 

 able weather. C. W. 



SALES OONTEACT INTERPRETED. 



The California Supreme court recent- 

 ly handed down a decision concerning 

 the exercise of an option for the pur- 

 chase of additional trees under a sales 

 contract (Pearson vs. Parsons, 159 

 Pacific Eeporter, 1171). 



The defendant agreed to sell the 

 plaintiff 25,000 budded orange trees of 

 "standard size," the plaintiff having 

 an option of buying them "at 1
