kow much we must ask for our stock to 

 nSake a profit. We know our overl^ead 

 expenses and know that these must be 

 itf^de up before a profit can be looked 

 for. People are willing to pay a good 

 price for a good article and that is a 

 point that nurserymen should strive for 

 <-*'to produce a good article and then 

 ask a good price for it. The people win 

 be better satisfied and the nurseryman 

 will make a little money. 



The convention at Chicago this year 

 promises to be of unusual interest to 

 the nursery trade and every nursery- 

 man who. is alive to the interests of the 

 business should be present. All should 

 give their opinions and not merely sit 

 around listening to the papers that are 

 read and seldom commented on. Each 

 one of us has some opinion that might 

 help the trade in general and we should 

 be willing to speak out and help. We 

 certainly hope that some constructive 

 plan will be worked out by which nurs- 

 erymen in general will realize that the 

 nearer each one comes to asking the 

 same price for the same article, the bet- 

 ter it is for them and for the nursery 

 trade. Wilmer W. Hoopes. 



CONIFEBS FROM OTJTTINaS. 



Will you tell me the right time to 

 take cuttings of such conifers as the 

 arbor-vitse, retinispora, cupressus, etc.? 

 Please state, also, what is the best form 

 ot bed and the right kfnd of wood to 

 ufie. I should like to get a book con- 

 cerning the propagation of conifers, 

 both by seeds and cuttings. Can you 

 »nf[gest any such bookt 



C. B. N.— Ga. 



It is not expected, of course, that any 

 brief directions about propagation by 

 cuttings will be equally applicable to 

 all these conifers, as the methods used 

 for the numerous species and varieties 

 differ considerably. However, the most 

 common practice is to take cuttings of 

 half-ripened or fairly mature wood late 

 in summer Or in fall, insert them in 

 well drained pots of sandy soil and 

 j^jj^ce them in a cool greenhouse or well 

 ])rotected frame, where they are kept 

 in a moderately moist condition through 

 Hie greater part of the winter. By late 

 winter or early spring the cuttings are 

 well calloused and are then placed in 

 gentle heat, where they root freely. If 

 a little bottom heat is available, it will 

 stimulate the formation of the roots. 

 There does not seem to be any reliable 

 book that treats exclusively of the 

 propagation of evergreens, but the gen- 

 eral subject of propagation is discussed 

 in M. G, Kains' "Plant Propagation, 

 (Greenhouse and Nursery Practice," 

 which costs $1.75 and may be obtained 

 tjirough The Review.
