Tiif:RE are observers who believe a del- 

 uge of European nursery stock is about to 

 descend on the United States, growers 

 over there being anxious to unload before 

 our quarantine goes into effect. 



The Department of Agriculture appar- 

 ently appreciates that unless this country 

 at once begins to produce many seedlings 

 and stocks heretofore imported, the ap- 

 proaching quarantine will be severely felt 

 by large numbers of farmers and fruit 

 growers. Consequently a campaign of de- 

 partmental publicity notices has been 

 started, designed, without reference to 

 the quarantine, to offset some of its 

 effects. 



THE BEST HARDY SHRUBS. 



Authority Gives List. 



"What arc the best shrubs introduced 

 in recent years?" 



This question was asked of Professor 

 Charles S. Sargent, of the Arnold Ar- 

 boretum, at Jamaica Plain, Mass., the 

 other day. It would be hard to find a 

 man better qualified to answer such a 

 question, for great numbers of new 

 plants of all kinds are constantly being 

 tried out in the grounds of the ar- 

 boretum to determine the ones most 

 suitable for growing in the gardens of 

 the United States. 



In discussing this subject. Professor 

 Sargent chose to select those shrubs 

 which are hardy and will thrive over a 

 large part of the New England and mid- 

 dle western states. This classification 

 would automatically rule out rhododen- 

 drons and azaleas, for these plants will 

 not grow in a soil containing a large 

 percentage of lime. 



At the head of the list. Professor Sar- 

 gent placed four of the cotoneasters of 

 western China, C. hupehensis, C. calo- 

 carpa, C. soongarica and C. nitens. 

 These shrubs were all brought from 

 China by Ernest H. Wilson, the famous 

 plant hunter of the arboretum. They 

 are admirably adapted to northern cli- 

 matic conditions and may be used either 

 for borders or for specimen plants. 

 After flowering, they are especially at- 

 tractive by reason of the wealth of 

 showy berries they carry.

Of newer shrubs, Professor Sargent 

 named two Chinese roses, Eosa Hugonis 

 and R. Jackii. The former is regarded 

 by rosarians as a splendid acquisition to 

 the list of hardy roses. It flowers early 

 in the season and its blooms are large, 

 single and of a pale yellow, set so close 

 together on the stemg that they touch. 

 R. Jackii is a Korean rose which was 

 introduced by Mr. Jack, of the ar- 

 boretum staff, for whom it was named.
