Montgomery's Priscilla 



That's the name of the new pink rose! The name will be Priscilla probably after the public, has had it a while, 

 but we have had to add the prefix to cover the rules of nomenclature. 



In order to get someone who knows more about roses than we do to give an unbiased, honest opinion on the merits of 

 this rose, we have placed 12 plants of it with each of the following rose growers:

grander dimensions than broad-leaved 

 evergreens. But they do not have gor- 

 geous flowers or red berries that last 

 all winter. Moreover, coniferous ever- 

 greens, as a rule, are inclined to cold- 

 ness and monotony; neither will they 

 stand the smoke of our cities. Broad- 

 leaved evergreens, from the greater 

 breadth of their leaves and the luster 

 of their foliage^ are pleasanter to live 

 with the year around; they are long- 

 lived, do not grow too tall for limited 

 quarters and resist smoke. 



Know Your Resources. 



Do not think I am trying to preach 

 that we can ever produce the luxuriance 

 of European gardens here in America. 

 Let the Englishman gloat over his rho- 

 dodendron thickets, his laurel swamps 

 and his hawthorn hedges; the Scotch- 

 man boast of his acres and acres of 

 heather, and the Italian sing of his 

 lovely myrtle, bay trees and olive trees 

 a thousand years old. Ninety per cent 

 of this stock, so valuable to Europe, 

 is rubbish in our gardens, and we have 

 paid mighty dear to find it out. 



In looking over the catalogue of one 

 of our largest northern nurserymen I 

 notice listed some forty-five kinds of 

 broad-leaved evergreens. 



Four of the most popular and widely 

 disseminated broad-leaved evergreens 

 in the world are found growing wild 

 by the million in the state of Tennessee; 

 namely, American holly, mountain lau- 

 rel, giant rose bay and Rhododendron 

 catawbiense. Add to these Magnolia 

 grandiflora, which is native in adjoin- 

 ing states, and boxwood, an acclimated 

 ^xotic, and you have a galaxy of a 

 I'alf d«zen of the finjest evergreens 

 grown in temperate climes. 



Mountain laurel has proved its adapt- 

 ability to a wide range of climate ex- 

 ■ending from Florida to New England.

 ing well in Louisville and St. Louis, 

 but the young plants there must have 

 winter protection. 



The glorious American liolly also has 

 a wide distribution, being found all the 

 way from Louisiana to Massachusetts. 



Century-Old Boxwood. 



The only garden plant which lives a 

 century is boxwood. It is not regarded 

 as hardy much north of Tennessee and 

 farther south its leaves are not so glossy 

 and the growth is more open.

Wo Iiiivc no native broad-leaved 

 evergreen vine to boost. The best one 

 for us is a .Japanese vine, Evonymus 

 radicans, or vogetus. I prophesy for 

 this vine a great future. It is as hardy 

 as oak and as green as boxwood. It 

 will eventually become thoroughly 

 Americanized and as popular as ivy in 

 Europe. 



If you are looking for evergreen 

 plants to cover the ground I will not 

 mention trailing myrtle, because it is 

 too closely associated with graveyards, 

 but will call Tour attentioa to
