nursery stock, including rhododendrons 

 and azaleas and went to a state on the 

 Pacific coast. A shipment to the same 

 place dispatched on February 10, 1905, 

 reached its far distant destination in 

 perfect condition and we do not doubt 

 for a moment that the second one will 

 go through safely. Of course, we see 

 that special attention is paid to packing 

 all shipments to distant countries. The 

 ball of earth is well supplied with moist 

 moss tied with canvas and packed in 

 cases with ventilating holes. The tied 

 up roots are packed at both ends of 

 the case, not allowing them to come in 

 contact with the foliage of the plants in 

 any way. Every two rows of plants we 

 peg down with strong laths of wood 

 nailed in at the two sides of the case 

 in order to prevent the plants shifting 

 while on their journey. 



For California we should advise ship- 

 ment from Holland not later than the 

 end of February or the first week in 

 March. From previous experience we 

 are prepared to guarantee the safe ar- 

 rival of our plants and shrubs at any 

 point in the United States and see no 

 reason why stock should not be regu- 

 larly imported by your growers with per- 

 fect satisfaction to all concerned.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND. 



We are just now experiencing the long 

 wished-for cold snap. This is having a 

 marked effect for the good in the cut 

 flower trade, prices hardening consider- 

 ably in several markets, supplies being 

 kept back somewhat. The outdoor daf- 

 fodils, etc., would have been in before 

 the forced bulbs were even half through 

 had the mild weather continued. 



French mimosa has been excessively 

 plentiful this year. It has not only been 

 retailed on the London streets but has 

 reached the small towns of the provinces 

 in considerable quantities. 



It is noticeable how infrequently the 

 green and variegated leaved aspidistras 

 have been seen the last year or so. There 

 does not seem to be a profitable demand 

 even for what small quantities have been 

 on offer, but prices asked by the conti- 

 nental exporters have been, until recently, 

 excessively high, on account of shortage 

 of stock. Some time ago aspidistras were 

 very popular with the English public, 

 principally as room plants where gas 

 was used, but of late years the public 

 taste is quite against anything at all 

 stiff and straight, something more in the 

 way of ferns, asparagus, etc., being pre- 

 ferred.

tarders of valley for export at Hamburg, 

 states that owing to the excessively small 

 crop of really first-class pips suitable 

 for retarding harvested last autumn, a 

 much less quantity is on hand than usual 

 for the year 's supply of frozen pips and 

 some liigh prices may be expected, both 

 for retarded pips and also for cut val- 

 ley, as well as a much larger proportion 

 of second and third grades. It is also 

 reported that at least one of the largest 

 German firms will not send its represen- 

 tative to the States for a time, having no 

 more stock than can be disposed of easily 

 in European countries. J. B.
