The Weekly Florists^ Review*

of trees. If planted in the fall, or very 

 «arly in spring, it is quite sure to live. 

 The American white ash is a valuable 

 tree, both as a street tree and for shade 

 and timber. The American elm everyone 

 knows and admires, but it requires large 

 space and a long time to develop, and is 

 more subject to insects than most other 

 trees. There are several hardy mag- 

 nolias, which, with a little shelter and 

 preparation of the soil, are unsurpassed 

 in beauty, not only when in bloom in 

 spring, but for their stately growth and 

 ample foliage. 



Among evergreens I would name the 

 white pine (Pinus strobus) as the most 

 valuable evergreen in this or any other 

 country. But the white pine forests of 

 our northern states are fast disappear- 

 ing. Old growth of white pine lumber 

 is now worth three times as much as 

 thirty years ago. Our national govern- 

 ment, forestry associations, and people 

 generally are waking up to the impor 

 tance of this work; and it is to be pre- 

 sumed that more effort will be made to 

 preserve our forest land and plant out 

 large areas to trees in the next twenty- 

 five years than has ever been done in 

 this country before. Several public- 

 spirited men during the last few years 

 have planted large tracts of vacant land 

 in the states of Vermont and New 

 Hampshire with white pines, and they 

 consider it a profitable investment. 



The concolor fir, from the high peaks 

 of the Eocky mountains, is a very beau- 

 tiful tree, perfectly hardy in New Eng- 

 land, and probably the handsomest ever- 

 green tree ever introduced here. It is 

 well adapted to the seashore, and will 

 flourish within a few rods of the ocean. 

 Being difficult to transplant, it should be 

 handled with great care. The Douglas, 

 pungens and Engelmann spruces, all 

 from the Rocky mountains, are very val- 

 uable and deserving of a place in the 

 best grounds. The American white 

 spruce, too, is a tree of rare beauty, not 

 half enough appreciated. 



I have only space to mention a few 

 valuable native shrubs, which have in the 

 past been very much neglected, and 

 which can be grown by any one who will 

 use the proper conditions. First the 

 mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia, than 

 which there is no better evergreen shrub 

 in America. It is found growing wild 

 in many of the southern states, and in 

 favorable locations all through the north. 

 It is generally found growing in the 

 shade of other trees, oftener on a north 

 hillside. Although we grow it by the 

 thousand without shelter in our nur- 

 series, it is in every way better in growth 

 and foliage if shaded somewhat from the 

 noonday sun. It will grow in any ordi- 

 nary soil, and once planted it is * * a thing 

 of beauty and a joy forever." The 

 same conditions apply to our two native 

 rhododendrons, the maximum and cataw- 

 biense, only they may require more moist- 

 ure and a better preparation of the soil. 



Of our five native azaleas, the arbor- 

 escens. the Calendulacea (lutea) and the 

 Vaseyi are the finest, and should be used 

 extensively. T. C. Thurlow.
