 The SM annual c6nvenUon will be neld at De- 

 troit, Mich., June, 1907. 



There is a big demand for agents to 

 canvass for the nurseries of the middle 

 west. 



F. M. Ewer will establish a nursery 

 on seventy acres of land just purchased 

 at Park Rapids, Minn. 



John S. Kerr, Sherman, Tex., is to 

 lecture at Paris, Tex., in the interest of 

 the Elberta Fruit Growers' Association. 



The E. Y. Teas Co., Centerville, Ind., 

 has been organized, the interested parties 

 being E. Y. Teas, his son and his daugh- 

 ter. 



J. W. Tetirick & Son, Blackwell, 

 Okla., report a splendid growing season, 

 not only for all farm and orchard crops, 

 but for nursery stock. They say fall 

 deliveries will considerably exceed those 

 of any previous year. 



A. C. Griesa's Mount Hope Nursery, 

 at Lawrence, Kan., was established in 

 1869 and covers 250 acres and employs 

 125 to 175 agents. A frost-proof stor- 

 age bpilding 100x200 will be in use this 

 season for the first time. The stock for 

 the largest apple orchard ever planted 

 in Kansas at one time came from Mr. 

 Griesa; it is near Hutchinson, and 28,- 

 000 trees went in at one planting. 



EMBELLISHMENT OF VAYSIDES. 



[A paper by J. A. PetUgrew, read before the 

 Gardeners' and Florlstg- Club of Boston, April 

 17, 1006. coDtlnupd from The Rerlew of SeD- 

 tember 27 and October 4.] 



Of suitable trees we have an abun- 

 dance from which to choose. I will 

 enumerate a few that I consider most 

 fitted for the purpose: 



Suitable Street Trees. 



First and foremost comes the Ameri- 

 can elm — a grand tree of vigorous 

 growth. It must have room to develop, 

 and a rich soil, fairly moist. A good 

 tree for wide city streets, and without 

 an equal for wayside planting. 



The European elm (Ulmu^ cam- 

 pestris) is a no Die tree. It has not the 

 graceful, pendulous habit of the Ameri- 

 can elm, yet it possesses in its columnar 

 trunk, a stately grandeur hardly equaled 

 by any other tree. It thrives well under 

 adverse conditions. As a sidewalk tree 

 it has many valuable qualities, con- 

 spicuous among which is the persistency 

 of its rich, green leaves, lasting as they 

 do, antil late in the autumn. In some 

 seasons its summer growth does not be- 

 come suflSciently ripened to stand the 

 winters in this latitude; yet this trouble 

 is not so serious as to prevent its use 

 for any situation where shade trees can 

 be grown. It loves good soil. 



The horse chestnut (^sculus Hippo- 

 castanum) is a tree from Europe. It 

 grows very freely and gives dense shade, 

 and is a popular favorite on account of 

 the beauty of its flowers in the early 

 summer. Its foliage ripens and falls 

 early in the autumn. It is a suitable 

 tree for city streets. 



The soft maple (Acer dasycarpum) is 



a fine tree for wide streets or waysides, 

 where good soil is abundant. It requires 

 space and sunlight to get the best re- 

 sults. It is reputed to be easily in- 

 jured by storms, on account of weaJtness 

 of fiber; this occurs only when it is 

 grown under crowded conditions. 



The American ash (Fraxinus Ameri- 

 cana) is an adaptable tree. It grows 

 fairly well as a sidewalk tree, but it is 

 not so desirable as many others, on ac- 

 count of the late leafing out and early 

 ripening of its foliage. On poor soil, 

 and in dry localities, it is apt to be 

 attacked by borers and the scale insect. 

 In rich soil, its growth is rapid, pro- 

 ducing a picturesque tree. 



The buttonwood, wrongly called syca- 

 more v-^latanus occidentals), is a lofty, 

 quick-growing tree, but not to be recom- 

 mended for planting in this district, on 



account of its liability to be infested 

 with fungi, which blacken the leaves. 

 Its near relation, the oriental sycamore, 

 resembles it greatly in appearance, al- 

 though a little more compact. This 

 species is much valued south of this 

 latitude. 



The maidenhair-tree (Ginkgo biloba) 

 is from Japan, luis tree has not been 

 used as a street tree, to my knowledge, 

 except in Washington, where two streets i 

 are planted with it, and where it has- 

 proved most satisfactory. In good soil 

 it grows rapidly, and it seems to have 

 no insect enemies. It forms a hand- 

 some avenue, as can be seen on the Agri- 

 cultural building grounds in Washington, 

 or on Pierce street, where the planting 

 before mentioned has been done. Bos- 

 ton and vicinity probably is the north- 

 ern limit of its hardiness, or, rather, I
