HILL IS HAPPY. 



A. II. Hill, of the D. Hill Nursery Co., 

 at Dundee, 111., has returned from a 

 trip through northern Wisconsin, where 

 he succeeded in locating a long-needled 

 and large-coned type of Abies balsamea. 

 This is a form that Prof. Sargent, of 

 Arnold Arboretum, is exceedingly inter- 

 ested in and that he has been trying 

 to locate in the wild state for some 

 time. The type is noticeably different 

 from the common balsam. It has a 

 darker and richer coloring, the needles 

 are longer and the cones are consider- 

 ably larger. Another marked charac- 

 teristic is that the trees hold their 

 lower branches and even the old trees 

 are perfect specimens. Prof. Sargent 

 calls this type Abies balsamea macro- 

 carpa and describes it as being an ex- 

 ceptionally beautiful and desirable typo 

 of fir.

other great commercial industries of 

 the vrorld. This book also embodies 

 an effort to elevate the trade. As the 

 author states, the book "is designed 

 to lift horticulture from the basement 

 to the upper stories." 



Of course, the elevation which the 

 author has in view differs in scope 

 and character from the elevation 

 sought by the florists' organizations, 

 for the author's object is chiefly 

 aesthetic; he is preaching "the gospel 

 of beauty." Yet one of the main pur- 

 poses of the florists' publicity cam- 

 paign is to cultivate the artistic taste 

 of the people and cause a clearer dis- 

 cernment of the beauty of flowers. 



The prestige and prosperity of the 

 florists' trade are founded on the pub- 

 lic appreciation of the beautiful, and 

 this appreciation must be most fully 

 developed among the florists them-
