The Rorists^ Review 



August 26, 191S. 



T(W^ 



closed with a banquet in the auxiliary 

 tea room of the California building at 

 the San Francisco exposition on thei 

 evening of Monday, August 16. This 

 was a fitting close to the conventions, 

 which had been the most successful in 

 the history of either organization. 

 There were ninety at the banquet, mak- 

 ing it the largest ever held by the nurs- 

 erymen on the Pacific coast. 



A BRITISH REFUTATION. 



The British nursery trade was much 

 exercised over a memorandum recently 

 prepared by Dr. Gordon Hewitt, Do- 

 minion Entomologist, Ottawa, Canada, 

 the purport of which was that nursery 

 stock from Ireland, Belgium, France, 

 Japan, Holland and Germany usually 

 arrives in Canada in excellent condi- 

 tion, and that English nursery stock 

 arrives in bad condition, owing to the 

 lack of care and the use of unsuitable 

 material in packing. The Horticultural 

 Trades' Association took the matter 

 up and, under date of July 28, refutes 

 the assertion by publishing letters 

 from a dozen exporting firms each stat- 

 ing that its packing is first-class and 

 that it seldom if ever has complaints 

 from its American customers. 



LOW HEDQE NEAR BUILDING. 



Please give us a suggestion as to 

 what we should plant on the south and 

 east sides of a building. Our plan is 

 to have some shrub grow close to the 

 foundation of a public building, some- 

 thing that we can shear. We do not 

 care to have it grow more than six 

 inches high, on the order of a hedge. 

 Can you tell us what would be suitable, 

 what kind of soil to use, when to plant 

 and how far it should be planted from 

 the building? Our soil is clay. Would 

 privet be all right, or boxwood! If 

 so, give an idea of what it should cost 

 and the best kind for this locality. 



A. A. K.— N. Y. 



I would suggest using Euonymus 

 radicans in preference to boxwood. 

 The euonymus will stand 20 degrees 

 below zero without injury, and will be 

 much cheaper than boxwood. Set the 

 plants out twelve to eighteen inches 

 apart if 2 years old. If 3 years old 

 they can go twenty-four inches apart. 

 This shrub is naturally low habited, 

 makes a dense ground cover and will 

 not need so much shearing as box or 

 privet. The last named can hardly 

 be kept as low as six inches without 

 incessant shearing. Plant the euony- 

 mus in early spring or any time up to 

 the end of July. Keep clear of the 

 foundation wall of the building. Add 

 some sharp sand or gravel to the clayey 

 soil, and before planting the euonymus, 

 add some cow manure. The first winter 

 lay some pine or spruce boughs over 

 the euonymus. No protection will be 

 needed in succeeding winters. Most of 

 the nursery firms advertising in The 

 Review can quote you prices on euony- 

 mus. I may add that this is also our 

 finest hardy climber. C. W.
