should become more general. There has 

 been, however, some complaint that many 

 plants would have to be replaced several 

 times a season to keep ithem looking 

 presentable. Then again, the expense 

 of too frequent replanting at hotels and 

 at private homes has caused many to 

 discard them altogether. This should 

 not be. The remedy is readily found in 

 the proper selection. Let us try small 

 boxes containing dwarf conifers and 

 hardy ivies. These could be designed 

 so as to enable the owner to remove 

 them from the open to indoors, on the 

 order of the Japanese style. Thousands 

 of such boxes can be sold by enterpris- 

 ing firms, and would help to popularize 

 coniferous plants. 



To make farmsteads more attractive 

 is another object. The busy farmer, of 

 course, does not care for a formal gar- 

 den and trimmed hedges, but he wants 

 plain and sensible ornamentation, con- 

 sisting of large-growing trees, and ever- 

 greens for shade and windbreaks. He 

 may plant hedges that do not require 

 any trimming, such as hemlock, Siberian 

 and American arbor-vitses, Japanese 

 barberry, Spiraea Van Houttei, mock 

 orange, Tartarian honeysuckle, Bosa 

 rugosa or lilacs. 



Promising Varieties. 



Korean hardy azaleas (rhod- 

 / azaleas) at the Arnold Arboretum are 

 ' full of promise for the nurseryman, es- 

 pecially on account of their great hardi- 

 ness; the varieties Schlippenbachii and 

 poukhanense (Bhodazalea poukhanense) 

 are especially recommended. 



Magnolia macrophylla, while not an 

 evergreen, is a most interesting tree.
