H. D. Ludlow is embarking in the nur- 

 sery business at Worthington, Minn. He 

 has had a thorough training i^ this line 

 under his father. 



Notice of the bankruptcy of J. Wood- 

 ward Manning, of Wilmington, Mass., 

 and formerly of Reading, Mass., appears

 ments. 



R. W. Clucas, manager of the Pali- 

 sades Nurseries, Inc., Sparkill, N. Y., 

 was operated on last week at the Nyack 

 hospital for gall stones. He has beert 

 quite ill, but is now convalescing at his 

 home. 



A. M. Augustine, of Normal, HI., is 

 experimenting with cuttings of imported 

 stock from various countries of Europe 

 on a farm near Bangor, Mich., to learn 

 if Michigan muck is suitable for the 

 propagation of this class of shrubs. Ill- 

 inois, he has found, is not well adapted 

 for the purpose. 



PROPAGATION OF TAIylAEIX. 



' Under separate cover we are mailing 

 a spray of tamarix from a neighbor's 

 yard. We should like to know the 

 name of the variety, so that we can 

 order more of the same sort. The bush 

 is now at its best, being a mass of 

 bloom. It blooms twice, now and again 

 in late fall. If you cannot give us the 

 name, will you please give us directions 

 for propagation by cuttings, as we have 

 tried this and failed f 



C. F. M. & C— Ohio. 



The name is Tamarix Oallica. This 

 makes a satisfactory shrub or low tree, 

 and flowers a long time. It does espe- 

 cially well in sandy soil and seems also 

 to enjoy salt spray and an alkaline soil. 

 It can be propagated from seeds or cut- 

 tings. You can take green-wood cut- 

 tings cow, place these in sandy soil in 

 plans or flats and plunge them in a 

 close frame. Protect from direct sun- 

 shine, spray frequently but lightly and 

 close the frame early in the afternoon; 

 3 o'clock is a suitable hour now. As 

 roots begin to form you can gradually 

 give more light and ventilation. Ma- 

 ture wood may also be used in winter, 

 when the cuttings, in short lengths, can 

 be placed in flats in a cool greenhouse.
