Pre*., Orlando Harriaon, Berlin, Md.; Vice- 

 Prea., J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Sec'y, Geo. O. 

 Sealer. Rochester ; Treas. C. L. Yates, Bocbeater. 

 The 83d annual convention will be held at De- 

 troit. Mich., June. 190T. 



The Rising-Dunscomb Co., of Los An- 

 geles, Cal., has been incorporated with 

 $25,000 capital authorized and $7,400 

 subscribed. The directors are H. G. Ris- 

 ing, of Los Angeles, and J. L. Dunscomb 

 and G. S. Dunscomb, of Prospect Park. 



The Point Pleasant Nursery Co., of 

 Point Pleasant, O., has been incorpo- 

 rated with an authorized capital of $25,- 

 000. The nursery of M. Schwartzwalder 

 has been purchased by the new corpo- 

 fation, which will go into the hursery 

 business on a broad scale. 



The Buchanan Nursery Co., of St, 

 Charles, Man., made a large shipment of 

 nursery stock to the Okanagan country, 

 B. C, last week. Stock grown in the 

 dry climate of Manitoba is said to do 

 better in the Okanagan region than that 

 grown in the mild climate of the Pa- 

 cific coast. 



Pateick Knight, of Geneva, N. Y., 

 died October 4. The cause of death was 

 general debility. Mr. Knight was born 

 in Ireland and came to this country 

 about forty years ago and located in 

 Geneva. He followed the nursery busi- 

 ness for a number of years, but retired 

 several years ago. He is survived by 

 nine children. 



The storm that swept over western 

 New York October 11 destroyed many 

 thousands of dollars' worth of fruit 

 trees around Rochester. The peach trees 

 suffered the heaviest, and many peach 

 and quince orchards in Monroe county 

 are ruined. Among the apple trees, the 

 Baldwins, which are yet unpicked, suf- 

 fered the most damage. 



EMBELLISHMENT OF WAYSIDES. 



(A paper bj J. A. Pettlgrew, read before the 

 Gardeners' and Florista' Club of Boston, April 

 17, 1006. continued from The ReTlew of Sep- 

 tember 27 and October 4 and 11.] 



The Maples. 



The hard, or sugar, maple (Acer 

 saccharinum) does not make a good 

 city tree. It is impatient of rough 

 treatment; paved sidewalks and paved 

 streets are fatal to it. It is, however, 

 a good tree for suburban conditions, or 

 for a country wayside tree. It is one 

 of the handsomest of our North Ameri- 

 can trees. This tree will adapt itself 

 to a thin soil. 



The Norway maple (Acer platanoides) 

 is an introduction from central Europe. 

 It forms a rather wide-spreading, hand- 

 some top, with a wealth of large leaves, 

 forming a dense shade. It thrives fairly 

 well 88 a city sidewalk tree; but, on 

 account of its width of spread, it is only 

 suitable for wide streets. As a wayside 

 tree it hardly can be surpassed. 



The sycamore maple (Acer pseudo- 

 platanus), also from Europe, is a wide- 

 spreading tree, with large, somewhat 

 leathery leaves. It is a noble tree in 

 its native habitat, but does not take 

 kindly to the United States. It is sub- 

 ject to borers and is not to be recom- 

 mended. 



The American beech (Fagus ferru- 

 ginea) is one of the most ornamental of 

 American trees, but, on account of its 

 low-branching habit in the open, and 

 its surface-rooting propensity, it is not 

 adapteu to city planting. This tree 

 loves too well the soft, leafy mulch of 

 its native woods, to bear transplanting 

 to the heated sidewalks. 



The silver poplar (Populus alba), in- 

 troduced from Europe, is one of the best 

 trees for hard conditions. In smoky, 

 dusty and thickly populated localities, 

 or in poor soil, it will exist and make 

 a brave show. By many it is esteemed 

 an ugly tree. Ine poplar trees planted 

 (I have been informed by Strauch, the 

 originator of the lawn treatment of 

 cemeteries) in Cincinnati, however, 

 would convince anyone to the contrary. 

 Or, without going further west than 



Boston, one could have found in 

 Maverick Square two fine specimens until 

 two years ago, when they were removecl 

 to make way for the new tunnel en- 

 trance. This tree has a disagreeable 

 habit of suckering. 



The Lindens. 



The American linden (Tilia Ameri- 

 cana) also is a tree that will accommo- 

 date itself fairly well to street life, 

 provided it is given good soil, and ia 

 protected from the tussock moth, to 

 whom it seems to be a favorite food 

 plant. As a wayside tree, it is well 

 adapted, being of quick growth and of 

 handsome proportions. 



The European linden (Tilia vulgaris), 

 as its name indicates, is from Europe, 

 and has a well-deserved reputation as a 

 fine shade tree. Planted in good soil.
