all white varieties were eliminated, be- 

 cause of their tendency to take on an 

 overripe and displeasing appearance in 

 the can. The approved varieties were 

 as follows, in the order of their respec- 

 tive popularity among the canners: 

 Phillips, Tuscan, Pelora, Sims, Peak's, 

 Libbes, Albright, Levy, McDevitt. Be- 

 cause of their similarity to Pelora, the 

 varieties Haass and Johnson were elim- 

 inated, and Orange was dropped because 

 of its similarity to Albright. 



In the freestone group Lovell stood 

 at the top, followed by Muir, Elberta 

 and Salway. For canning purposes it 

 was recommended that Foster, Craw- 

 ford and J. H. Hale be dropped, but 

 that they be retained as shipping 

 peaches, but the vote stood 85 to 15 for 

 clingstone peaches for canning pur- 

 poses, thus practically confining the 

 freestone varieties to the shippers. 



Among apricots Blenheim, Royal and 

 Tilton were the popular sorts, and the 

 recommendation was made that Moor- 

 park, Routier's Peach, Hemskirk and 

 Large Early Montgamet be taken out 

 of coming catalogues. 



For canning purposes the Royal Ann 

 received the most votes, with assorted 

 black varieties next, followed by Rock- 

 ford and Governor Wood. Shipping 

 varieties were strongly recommended 

 because of the greatly increasing pop- 

 ularity of them on eastern markets. 

 Montmorency was recommended as the 

 sour cherry most suitable for increased 

 planting in California. 



PROPAGATING HABDY PLANTS. 



Will you tell me how to root Japanese 

 barberrv, Amoor River privet and Bos- 

 ton ivy'? G. H.— 111. 



The Japanese barberry, Berberis 

 Thunbergii, comes readily from seeds 

 which should be gathered when ripe, 

 stratified in dry sand and sown in flats 

 in winter or early spring. The Amoor 

 River privet, L. amurense, propagates 

 most easily from ripened wood. Cut 

 the shoots off in late fall or early win- 

 ter, remove the foliage, tie in bundles 

 and pack in damp sand in a cellar over 

 winter. Line out in nursery rows in 

 early spiing, burying the shoots three- 

 fourths of their depth; eight to ten 

 inches is long enough. Firm well and 

 practically all will root. 



The Boston ivy, Ampelopsis Veitchii, 

 propagates readily from seeds, which 

 should be started under glass in winter 

 or early spring. Pot the seedlings off 

 singly when of sufficient size and later 

 set outdoors in nursery rows. Cuttings
