PENTSTEMONS. 



During the last few years, no class of 

 hardy florists' flowers has been more 

 greatly improved than the pentstemons, 

 and with the many beautiful varieties 

 now at our disposal, it is quite easy to 

 produce a fine display throughout the 

 summer and autumn months. For bed- 

 ding purposes, ro plants are more suita- 



ble; they are not damaged by rough and 

 wet weather, as, unfortunately, many bed- 

 ding eubjects are. I am convinced that 

 when the improved pentstemons become 

 better known their value will be appre- 

 ciated, and I strongly advise all who 

 have not yet given them a trial to do so 

 without delay. 



To have pentstemons at their best, a 

 border not less than six feet wide should 

 be devoted entirely to them. The most 

 suitable position is one facing south, 

 or southwest, where all the light and sun 

 can reach the plants. Select a site that 

 is not overshadowed by large trees, but, 

 if there is a background, such as a 

 hedge, so much the better. 



The preparation of the ground is an 

 important item, and if one has light soil 

 to deal with, it is advisable to trench or 

 dig it deeply, adding plenty of vell- 

 'tl^Q^Yi^d manure, and atoty heavy mat«l)lal 

 which IS to spare. This can settle down 

 before planting time arrives. On the 

 other hand, if one has a heavy loam or 

 clay soil, the trenching is best deferred 

 till very early in the spring, and, in ad- 

 dition to well-rotted manure, any light 

 material, such as road-grit, wood-ashes, 

 and the like should be freely incorpo- 

 rated. Pentstemons respond well to liberal 

 treatment, and root deeply in search of 

 moisture during dry weather. Therefore, 

 one will be well rewarded for any extra 

 trouble which is taken in connection with 

 preparing the soil. — Gardeners' Maga-

DAHLINGTON ON CALIFORNIA. 



[The continuation of a paper by B; B. Darling- 

 ton, trial ground superintendent for W. Atlee 

 Burpee ft Co., read l)efore the Florists' Club of 

 Philadelphia, January 2. 1906. The first install- 

 ment was published January 18.] 



Palms as Street Trees. 



Fan palms fifty to sixty feet in height 

 are ornamental and a distinct novelty, 

 with smooth trunk and crown of green 

 leaves high in the air, but the dead 

 leaves hanging closely to the trunk be- 

 low the green crown detract from its 

 beauty and I cannot commend it for 

 street planting; especially when of 

 younger growth, the spiky parts of the 

 leaves are on a level with your eyes. The 

 fan palm and the pepper tree seem to 

 divide the honors in California and both 

 are used very largely and almost to the 

 exclusion of other trees for street plant- 

 ing. The foliage of the pepper tree is 

 beautiful and glossy, but the trailing 

 branches hang like those of a weeping- 

 willow and are only a little less^. annoy* 

 ing than the palm leaves, while the im- 

 mense crop of berries keeps the walk 

 dirty and slippery. Some day when 

 these trees grow larger and taller they 

 will add a distinct feature to the towBS 

 but it seems a pity that when there are 

 so many more graceful and suitable 

 trees for street planting that these two 

 should be used exclusively, as they are 

 much better adapted for individual 

 specimens on the lawn. 



Near Ventura is the Cole bulb farm, 

 where callas and freesias are grown by 

 the acre, but these were just starting 

 into growth after their summer rest and 

 of course did not present the display 

 that they would in the spring. Near 

 Oceano I saw carnations growing in a 

 garden which were finer in plant and 

 flower than any I have ever seen in a 

 greenhouse, the plants being sturdy 

 and symmetrical, with beautiful foliage 

 and stiff, erect stems surmounted by the
