THE COST OF PAPER. 



That the increased cost of materials 

 has hit the publishers of trade papers, 

 newspapers and other publications, as 

 well as florists and men in almost all 

 lines of business, is shown by the state- 

 ment of Secretary of Agriculture D. F. 

 Houston, regarding the print paper situ- 

 ation, which follows: 



' ' Conditions in the paper industry 

 have constituted one of the most serious 

 of our domestic problems during the last 

 year. Due to the exorbitant prices 

 charged for news print, the profits of 

 the great dailies were either wiped out 

 entirely or else reduced to a minimum, 

 while the small publishers were brought 

 face to face with suspension and even 

 absolute ruin. Periodical publishers 

 have fared no less badly, the profits of 

 book publishers have changed to losses 

 in many cases, and the price of paper of 

 every kind has risen by leaps and 

 bonds." 



HYDRANaEAS IN THE FIELD. 



I have hydrangeas from 2-ineh pots 

 in the field. How shall I handle them 

 later? S. L. L.— la. 



I'inch the top out of the main shoot 

 when it is of sufficient length and 

 strength. Keep the plants well culti- 

 vated and watered through the summer 

 and lift them and pot them about the 

 end of September. Keep them outdoors 

 as long as the weather permits.

De Kalb, 111. — J. A. Johnson came into 

 the public spotliglit June 5 when he 

 offered to donate enough red carnations 

 to be jiinned to the coats of the young 

 men who registered for military duty.

Resists Rot 



California Redwood is noted for its resistance to rot when 

 in contact with the soil and moisture. That's why it 

 was selected for the boxes that made up the world-famous 

 Mesembryanthemum hedge fence around the grounds of 

 the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Fran- 

 cisco, 1915. 



Boxes of Mesembryanthemum were stacked up on their 

 sides to th' desired height and shape, forming a beautiful 

 living wall, more pleasing than any ordinary hedge and of 

 far greater height. 



This use of Redwood contains a valuable suggestion to 

 florists and 1 Iscape gardeners — both as to the novel con- 

 struction of tne hedge, and the permanence of Redwood.
