The Weekly Flwists' Review. 



September 28, 1905. 



are the pin oak, Norway maple, elm 

 oriental plane, birch and ash, the flow- 

 ering apples, cherries, peaches, and 

 shrubbery of all kinds. In many places 

 one can stand and look between the 

 trees and shrubbery and 300 feet below 

 see the railroad, factories and various 

 industries of our great manufacturing 

 city and one cannot help admiring the 

 man with his art who can make such a 

 transformation up among the smoke 

 clouds of onr Smoky City. 



Wm. Forsythe, who took charge of the 

 bald knob eight years ago, and has made 

 it one of the beauty spots of our city, 

 is too modest to boast about what he 

 has done, but rather apologizes for what 

 he might have done. Gardeners who 

 • are playing among nice easy things 

 would do well to go up there and see 

 what is possible among the rocks and 

 stiff red clay. Hoo-Hoo. 



INCARVILLEA GRANDIFLORA, 



This plant may be regarded as one 

 of the best introductions in the line of 

 hardy perennials of the last years, for 

 which we are indebted, if I am not mis- 

 taken, to a French missionary in North 

 China. Compared with the now fairly 

 well-known I. Delavayi, it has the fol- 

 lowing advantages: Enormous flowers 

 of about double the size of I. Delavayi, 

 beating in size even a good gloxinia flow- 

 er. The growth is compact and the flow- 

 ering season is about the middle of May. 

 Although the price of the tubers, which 

 was only a couple of years ago, still some 

 $3 to $4 each, is coming more in the 

 reach of growers, it is likely that it will 

 keep up a fair price. As regards hardi- 

 ness, it stands in its native country a 

 good deal of frost and can be considered 

 to be hardy, still it is safe to give the 

 tubers a protection of leaf-mold during 

 winter. A. M. C. Van der Elst. 



FLOWERING SHRUBS. 



Will you inform me what flowering 

 shrubs can be planted to make a good 

 showing in the place of cannas and sal- 

 vias? The bed is thirteen feet in diame- 

 ter and situated so as to get the sun 

 about half of the day, also where it is 

 cold and bleak in winter. I have plenty 

 of -hydrangeas and spiraeas in the yard. 



E. F. C. 



There are so inany beautiful and desir- 

 able fhrubs suitable for the purposes 

 named and which are reliably winter 

 hardy that it is a little diflScult to make 

 a selection. If something is desired 

 which will make a rapid growth and 

 cover the space to be planted we 

 would recommend any of the loni- 

 ceras, of which L. Moi^owi is per- 

 haps the best. Plant four feet apart 

 each way. Given good soil to grow in, 

 a single bush will cover a bed of the 

 diameter named in five years. This loui- 

 cera attains a height of eight to nine 

 feet, is beautiful either in bloom or fruit 

 and holds its foliage longer than almost 

 any other deciduous shrub. 



if a little more variety is desired, 

 nothing could be better than lilacs. 

 They grow slower than loniceras, but 

 are magnificent when in bloom and hold 

 their foliage very late. Several varieties 

 might be planted in such a bed. We 

 would suggest one plant each of the fol- 

 lowing, which would give quite a long 

 succession of bloom: Charles X, reddish 

 purple; Frau Bertha Dammann, large
