PROPAGATING KALMIA. 



How and when can cuttings from the 

 rhododendron or mountain laurel be 

 successfully propagated, or will the at- 

 tempt to propagate prove profitable? 



M. J. S. 



The mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia, 

 and its varieties are not easily propa- 

 gated from cuttings. The best method 

 and that usually practiced by nursery- 

 men, i(S to gather and sow the seeds as 

 soon as ripe in a cool greenhouse, either 

 in pots or pans of light, peaty compost 

 with plenty of sand added. Prick the 

 seedlings off into other flats when lar^e 

 enough to handle and when sufficiently 

 hardened plant outdoors. Grafting of 

 special varieties on seedlings of Kalmia 

 latifolia is sometimes done and layer- 

 ing is also practiced to some extent, but 

 the general method is to raise them from 

 seed. W. N. C. 



FRANK HAMILTON. 



The accompanying portrait is that of 

 Frank Hamilton who, as was recently 

 announced on this page, has associated 

 himself with the Cottage Gardens Co., 

 Queens, N. Y., having direct charge of 

 the nursery and landscape department. 

 Mr. Hamilton began his horticultural 

 career with the F. B. Pierson Co., Tar- 

 rytown, N. Y. After having been there 

 for a while he went into business for 

 himself, having a large establishment on 

 Staten Island, growing plants and flow- 

 ers for the New York market. After 



that he was with the Pierson Co. for 

 several years as a traveling salesman, 

 representing them among the trade in 

 eastern states. He also has had an ex- 

 tended experience in their rose houses 

 and was for some time foreman of tboir 

 Scarboro nursery, so that he has an all- 

 round experience in the trade, followed 

 by several years in the New York parks. 

 At Central park he had a large experi-

ence in improving work done some years 

 before, and as head gardener for the 

 Department of the Bronx he had charge 

 of all planting and construction work, 

 having 800 men in his charge. He has 

 many friends, and will be a strong addi- 

 tion to the corporation in which he has 

 now acquired an interest.
