Shrubs are said to be selling better 

 than ever this autumn. 



W. B. Clarke, manager of the Cottage 

 Gardens Nurseries' branch at San Jose, 

 Cal., is making an eastern trip. 



The French hydrangeas are selling 

 splendidly; everyone who has advertised 

 them to the trade has found plenty of 

 tlorists anxious to try them as a substi- 

 tute for azaleas. Lilie Mouillere is the 

 most popular, po£.sibly because it also is 

 the best known variety. 



W. A. Peterson, Chicago, considers 

 Therese the best peony that has as yet 

 made its appearance. He says every visi- 

 tor to his nursery in peony season is at- 

 tracted to the row of Therese ; the eye 

 catches it at a distance. Whatever the 

 amateurs see in Therese, as size of flower 

 and beautiful clear pink color, the trade 

 visitor who knows peony stocks is apt to 

 note most of all the length of the row. 



EUROPEAN 



]RY STOCK. 



Owing to there ])eing no regular sail- 

 ings from Holland, arraiigcnionts have 

 been made by McHutchison & Co., New 

 York, whereby the Holland nursery 

 stock' fall shipments will come on spe- 

 cial steamers, to sail about the middle 

 of October and November. It is likely 

 that the same arrangements will be 

 made for spring shipments, unless there 

 be regular sailings then. 



Manetti stocks are practically unpro- 

 curable in England and France, Mc- 

 Hutchison & Co. report. There was only 

 about a thirty per cent crop in Eng- 

 land, and fifteen per cent in France, due 

 to abnormally unfavorable spring 

 weather conditions in Europe. 



Pear and apple stocks in large sizes, 

 the same company says, will be scarce 

 in France. Small plantings were made, 

 but cold, wet spring and summer weath- 

 er made most of them run to small 

 sizes. Women and old men are now do-

MB. COE'S CONFIDENCE. 



Ernest F. Coe, president of tlie Elm 

 City Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn., 

 thinks that the new dwarf type of Ber- 

 beris Thunbergii his company is distrib- 

 uting this year is tlie best specialty the 

 concern ever got hold of. The first plant 

 was discovered in the nursery sixteen 

 years ago, so that there has been abun- 

 dant time for observation. Mr. Coe 

 says the present stock consists of about 

 10,000 plants and he feels sure that it 

 will be possible to book them all foi 

 distribution this season. He says that 

 one landscape architect who recently 

 visited the nursery wanted to place an 

 order for 10,000 plants for this season 's 

 contract, but the order was declined be-
