The Horists^ Review 



Adqcst 26. 1920 



John F. Koegler, of Stockton, Cal., is 

 starting a new nursery. 



The "Winchester Nursery Co., W. P. 

 Massey and C. F. Massey, of Winchester, 

 Va., and G. F. H6tzer, of the Mountain 

 View Nursery, of Williamsport, Md., have 

 purchased the Foreman farm, at Inwood, 

 W. Va., for $23,000 and will start a 

 nursery there soon. 



PRIVET AS FLOWERING SHRUB. 



With privets as with persons, the 

 untrained sometimes has a natural 

 beauty which the trained lacks. A re- 

 cent addition to the privets, Ligustrum 

 Ibolium, while quite valuable for hedg- 

 es, also develops when left untrimmed 

 into a graceful flowering shrub, its 

 delicate white flowers resembling 

 somewhat those of one of its parents, 

 Ligustrum Ibota, from which also it 

 derives decided hardiness of growth. 

 A spray of the flowers is shown in the 

 accompanying illustration. 



Ibolium 's hardiness is a distinct im- 

 provement over its other parent, L. 

 ovalifolium, otherwise known as Cal- 

 ifornia privet, whose foliage that of 

 L. Ibolium resembles, though being a 

 little less glossy and of a somewhat 

 lighter shade of green; the new privet 

 also matures its foliage a little earlier 

 than California privet, taking on be- 

 fore maturity rich bronze hues. The 

 flowers are followed by clusters of ber- 

 ries which stay on the plant well into 

 the winter. 



Experiment stations in the United 

 States and Canada have plants of 

 Ligustrum Ibolium growing in their 

 grounds and can doubtless give infor- 

 mation as to its behavior in their vari- 

 ous localities. 



GARDENERS' ASSOCIATION. 



Amendments to By-Laws. 



The National Association of Garden- 

 ers, at its convention at St. Louis Sep- 

 tember 14 to 16, will take action on 

 amendments in regard to its member- 

 ship, which, if adopted, will not only 

 increase dues, but put a mark of qual- 

 ity upon those who belong to that body. 

 The executive board or its authorized 

 committee on membership can admit or 

 expel anyone not deemed fit to be a 

 member of the association, without be- 

 ing compelled to give reason for such 

 action to either the individual or the 

 association. The association aims to 

 make its membership a sign of profes- 



sional integrity, so that it shall be a 

 recommendation in itself. The resolu- 

 tions to be adopted are aft follows:
