Many cemeteries are in the market 

 this fall for considerable quantities of 

 DHrsery stock. 



Now that the alarm about the San Jose 

 scale has in a measure passed, it is time 

 to get up some excitement over the 

 gypsy moth. Many consider it the more 

 dangerous pest. 



There is a good demand for Tritoma 

 Pfitzeri, it having been used by florists in 

 a number of notable decorations this fall. 

 North of Philadelphia it is safer to lift 

 the plants in November and store in a 

 cellar. It needs a well-drained situation. 



The freight steamers from Rotterdam 

 sail very irregularly and there is much 

 complaint at the delay suffered by per- 

 ishable goods. The boats of the Neth- 

 erlands-American Co. sail regularly every 

 week and many shippers find it advisable 

 to use these steamers. 



Heney Hicks says, in an article in 

 Country Life, that growing box in this 

 country is fighting nature ; when you 

 compare the climates of Old and New 

 England the wonder is, not that box fails, 

 but that any, evergreen from England 

 succeeds here; we should look to Man- 

 churia or Korea for a broad-leaved ever- 

 green to displace box. 



There is an indication that, with the 

 more general demand for ornamental ma- 

 terial, the call for large specimens will 

 be overshadowed by the requests for 

 smaller stock. The rich man will pay 

 for immediate effect but the planter of 

 moderate means wants a good many 

 plants; he thinks he gets more for his 

 money than in specimens and besides he 

 does not lose so much if part of the stock 

 dies and he can afford to wait. 



THE BEECH. 



When is the best time to move the 

 purple beech T I. E. B. 



The beech is not our easiest tree to 

 transplant, but that depends largely on 

 the condition of the roots. If you are 

 sure the tree has been transplanted with- 

 in two or three years you can move it 

 now; if not, wait until early spring.
