ness has been growing more rapidly than 

 the spring trade, especially with the big 

 growers of fruit trees. There are sur- 

 pluses in a few lines, but nothing of not- 

 able extent and no more than ia to be 

 expected; the bonfires never can be whol- 

 ly eliminated. 



LOSS OF NURSERY STOCK. 



Many reports are coming to hand of 

 losses of nursery stock caught in transit 

 by the recent change to cold weather. 

 Following a period of springlike tem- 

 peratures, the middle states have had in 

 the past fortnight the most wintry 

 weather of the season. In parts of Ohio 

 there was more than a foot of snow and 

 in New England temperatures consider- 

 ably below zero were registered. As the 

 nursery business was in full blast, many 

 shipments were in transit, and those 

 which had been carelessly packed were 

 in many eases received in such condi- 

 tion that they were valueless. The stock 

 from the south suffered especially. Quite 

 a number of shipments are reported 

 that were packed in unlined cases and 

 shipped north in ordinary freight cars 

 as though the danger of frost were 

 wholly past. 



BEST NEW ENGLAND VARIETIEa 



Having been for over fifty years ac- 

 tively engaged in the nursery business, 

 with my father and grandfather both in 

 the same business in this town and in 

 Old Newbury, it may be excusable in me 

 to offer a few suggestions to those of 

 less experience. 



As we are about forty miles north 

 of Boston, we have the full benefit of a 

 northern climate. Trees and shrubs that 

 are considered hardy 200 miles south of 

 «s are not wholly reliable here. We 

 recommend in our catalogues only those 

 which, after a series of years, have 

 proved hardy throughout this part of 

 New England and in the same latitude 

 west of us. We have also made a study 

 of those trees, both evergreen and de- 

 ciduous, which are best adapted to the 

 seacoast, as our trade of late years has 

 been very largely with residents of the 

 North Shore, all the way from Boston 

 to Bar Harbor. 



First of all, as a tree indigenous to 

 our northern country, I will mention the 

 sugar maple as the best, everything con- 

 flidered, of all ornamental trees. As a 

 street tree in town and village, or plant- 

 ed along our country roads, it stands at 

 the head, both for beauty and profit; 

 beautiful in shape and foliage, not liable 

 to be broken by winds or ice — less sub- 

 ject to and more easily kept clean of all 

 insects and diseases. It is the tree for 

 planting on the "run-out farms" of 

 New England for sugar orchards, which 

 will in a few years become very profit- 

 able. Of the other maples, the Norway 

 maple is a very handsome, desirable tree, 

 better adapted to the seashore than the 

 sugar maple. Varieties of this are very 

 handsome, as the Scbwedlerii, with 

 crimson foliage in spring; Reitenbachi 

 and Geneva, handsome bronze and purple 

 foliage in autumn. 



The American sweet chestnut is a 

 profitable tree to plant for timber and 

 fruit. It can be planted quite thickly 

 on any high, bleak land, and in a few 

 years will pay good interest on the in- 

 vestment. All of ours we grew from 

 large, selected northern nuts — every way 

 better than the small southern ones. The 

 American beech, when grown in a suit- 

 able, rich, moist soil is called the queen
