EUONYMUS RADICANS VEGETA. 



Referring to the leading article in 

 The Eeview for September 16, Euony- 

 mus radicans vegeta is one of the best 

 evergreen vines recently introduced. 

 Taking it the year around it may be 

 the best, as it is more effective in win- 

 ter than any others and in summer it 

 is equal to the best. The glossy green 

 foliage is always in perfect condition, 

 winter and summer; and in the dreary 

 winter weather a wall covered with 

 Euonymus radicans vegeta is made 

 bright by the handsome red berries 

 that are produced in prodigious masses, 

 simply covering the plant. This new 

 vine is a great addition to our horti- 

 cultural treasures, but unfortunately it 

 may not become common for several 

 years, as the stock in the United States 

 is small. A. E. Wohlert. 



TO OBTAIN BEIXJIAN GOODS. 



The Department of State has for- 

 warded to The Review the text of a 

 talegram from the American ambassa- 

 dor at (London, giving the procedure by 

 which American importers may obtain 

 goods of Belgian origin from Holland. 

 It amounts merely to filing with 

 the foreign trade advisers, at Washing- 

 ton, a declaration from competent Bel- 

 gian authorities that the goods desired 

 are of Belgian origin and a guarantee 

 from a British bank that payment for 

 the goods haa been deposited therein, 

 or evidence that payment was remitted 

 to Belgium before July 13, 1915. The 

 full statement of the requirements of 

 the British Foreign Ofl&ce, as stated in 

 the American ambassador's telegram, 

 is as follows: 



"One. A declaration or certificate 

 from the competent Belgian local or 

 municipal authority that the goods in 

 question are of Belgian origin or manu- 

 facture; and 



"Second. A written guarantee from 

 a bank in this country [Great Britain] 

 that the purchase money for the goods 

 has been deposited with it, and will not 

 be withdrawn, without the special au- 

 thorization of his Majesty's Govern- 

 ment, during the continuance of the 

 occupation of Belgium by the enemy; 

 or alternativelv clear evidence that the 



purchase money was remitted to Bel- 

 gium before July 3t, 1915, such as an 

 affidavit of the bank in a neutral coun- 

 try through which the money was re- 

 mitted. ' '

YoungBtown, O. — In the night carni- 

 val held August 18 in celebration of 

 the new street lighting system, the au- 

 tomobile of H. H. Cade, 11 South 

 Phelps street, took first prize as the 

 best decorated mercantile float. Mr. 

 Cade's car was in competition with 

 many firms who had spent heavily on 

 artificial fiowers, but the natural flow- 

 ers used by Mr. Cade in decorating his 

 float won the first award of the judges. 

 About 1,000 America gladioli, 1,000 

 asters, 500 white hydrangeas and 100 

 rubrum lilies were used in adorning Mr. 

 Cade 's automobile.
