An amendment to its charter has been 

 filed by the McKinney Nursery Co., of 

 Dallas and McKinney, Tex., increasing 

 its capital stock from $20,000 to $30,000. 



FoETY-SEVEN acres of land recently 

 were acquired by Saddler Bros., of 

 Bloomington, HI., at the cost of $170 

 per acre. The land will be devoted to 

 nursery stock. 



The last few weeks have brought a 

 nice rfivival of business to many of the 

 nurser^en, fall deliveries now promis'

LATE-FLOWEBINO SHSUBS. 



Tbe Best of the Buddleias. 



While we have a wealth of deciduous 

 shrubs that flower in early summer, 

 there is a pronounced scarcity of them 

 after the end of July. In early fall, 

 while those in flower are less numer- 

 ous than we might wish, we have some 

 handsome and useful varieties. These, 

 added to the many berry-bearing trees 

 and ■ shrubs, such as viburnums, Cra- 

 taegus, loniceras, ligustrums and others, 

 make the shrubbery borders attractive. 



Prominent among flowering shrubs 

 are the buddleias, which have been 

 making a splendid show for many weeks 

 and will continue to do so until sharp 

 frost destroys the flowers. B. variabilis 

 is less showy than some of its improved 

 forms, of which there are now a consid- 

 erable number. Of these magniflca is, 

 in my opinion, the best. It flowers pro- 

 fusely and the racemes are of a deeper 

 violet-mauve color than superba, Wil- 

 Bonii and Veitchiana. Superba makes 

 heavier foliage, with racemes of great 

 size and less pointed at* the ends than 

 taose of magniflca. 



All these buddleias are of easy propa- 

 gation. Cuttings will root in a few 

 days in sand in a warm greenhouse, and 

 plants from 3-inch or 4-inch pots, set 

 out in April or early May in rich soil, 

 will make plants five to six feet high 

 and as much across, the first season. 



Bnddlelas in Pots or Tubs. 



B. officinalis, carrying smaller and 

 paler colored racemes than B. varia- 

 bilis, comes into bloom too late to be 

 valuable in the northern states, but 

 makes a good pot plant. The latest of 

 the family to flower, B. Asiatica, pure 

 white in color, sometimes called the 

 winter lilac, is a splendid greenhouse 

 subject for pots or tubs from Christmas 

 until the middle of February. 



Buddleias will withstand a winter 

 minimum of 10 degrees below zero in

well drained ground, if g^ven a wiiyter 

 mulch. They usually die down to near 

 the ground. If they do not, it is better 

 to cut them to the ground, as they 

 then make more vigorous growth. Plants 

 that are wintered over will flower ear- 

 lier than spring-planted ones, but the 

 latter will bloom later in the season. 



There are several other fall-flowering 

 buddleias, but the foregoing are the 

 best. They should prove flne subjects 

 for florists to work up stocks of, for 

 spring sales. Cuttings are produced in 

 profusion and, as before said, their 

 propagation is of the easiest. Whether 

 for planting in beds, for shrubbery ef- 

 fects, for cutting (the flowers keeping 

 well in water), or for growing in tubs 

 for fall flowering, buddleias are among; 

 our finest flowering shrubs. A great 

 point in their favor is their freedom 

 from insects and their delicious fra- 

 grance. 



• Olefhras, Calllcarpas and Otliers. 



Some of the detbras, or spice bushes, 

 were still flowering in late September, 

 both tomentosa and alnifolia being in 

 bloom. These succeed best in partial 

 shade. In open, sunny spots they are 

 often disfigured by red spider. Elsholt- 

 zia Stauntonii is a pretty shrub, grow-

 dense lilac-purple, one-sided spikes of

 licarpa purpurea, not unlike a ligustrum 

 in habit, is carrying quantities of small, 

 pale lilac flowers. 



Clerodendron trichotomum is a hand- 

 some shrub in the north, dying to the 

 ground in winter, but starting up vig- 

 orously from the ground in spring. It 

 needs some winter covering, as do the 

 buddleias. The flowers are white on a 

 brownish-red calyx. This shrub is a 

 native of Japan. 



Hydrangeas and Hypericums. 



While the well known Hydrangea 

 paniculata grandiflora is now about 

 flowerless, H. paniculata, with its more 

 erect flower heads, is still in bloom. 

 This should be more planted. It is 

 more graceful than the much over-
