tonia latisquama at 15 cents to. 25 cents 

 per package at retail. We would advise, 

 however, the procuring of some plants 

 of each of the varieties named. They 

 are all oflfered at low wholesale rates. by 

 dealers in hardy perennials, such as 

 Dreer, of Philadelphia; Bobbink & At- 

 kins, Rutherford, N. J., and others. 

 Some European firms maJte a specialty 

 of supplying seeds of hardy perennials. 

 Prominent among these are Haage & 

 Schmidt, Erfurt, Germany, and Thomp- 

 son & Morgan, Ipswich, England. It 

 might pay you to send for a copy of 

 each of these lists. Both we know to be 

 reliable firms. C. W. 



ORIGIN OF NEW HYDRANGEA, 



There is good authority for the state- 

 ment that while the new form of Hy- 

 drangea arborescens may have been a 

 native of Yellow Springs, O., the same 

 form was discerned in a wild state near 

 Pittsburg, Pa., by James Semple a few 

 years ago. The same sport from our 

 native H. arborescens was found by Dr. 

 Stone in the Mississippi bluffs in Mis- 

 souri about a dozen years ago. I believe 

 there is no record of Dr. Stone's find 

 ever having been introduced into culti- 

 vation. 



All the stock that I know of now in 

 cultivation, except that in the hands of 

 Thos. A. McBeth, are descendants of 

 plants brought from Pittsburg by Mrs. 

 May Kelley, who came with her family 

 from that city to central Ohio fifteen 

 years ago. Mrs. Kelley was the wife of 

 a railroad section hand, and if she 

 could find plants of this in. the gardens 

 of Pittsburg fifteen years ago it must

have been "discovered" years before 

 Mr. Semple found it. 



I have been familiar with Hydrangea 

 arborescens for about seventy years, 

 though I have not studied it in the 

 blooming season until the last year or 

 two. I think it likely that this freak of 

 changing from fertile to sterile flowers 

 may occur more frequently than has been 

 generally supposed. E. Y. T. 



NORMAL, ILL. 



The Phoenix Nursery Co. is making 

 extensive improvements on its grounds 

 east of Normal. Last spring a local 

 telephone system was installed on the 

 grounds, connecting all packing sheds 

 and barns with the main office. Since 

 that time electricity has been put in all 

 buildings on the packing grounds, the 

 power being secured from Bloomington. 

 But the most notable improvement is 

 that of building three large greenhouses 

 for stock for the downtown store. These 

 greenhouses are 225 feet in length and 

 the total amount of glass used in the 

 three structures amounts to 30,000 square 

 feet. The houses are up but not as yet

completed, there being some carpenter 

 work and steam-fitting to be finished. 

 A boiler-house also is being erected, and 

 when finished will accommodate ten car- 

 loads of coal. The storage cellar for 

 bulbs and the like will have connection 

 with the heating plant: 



Later in the season the Phoenix com- 

 pany is to erect a concrete storage cel- 

 lar, which will have a capacity of at 

 least 150 carloads of nursery stock. The 

 season's investment will be not far from 

 $25,000. 



The growing of nursery stock as an 

 important industry in Normal, and the 

 Phoenix is the largest of the firms en- 

 gaged in the business, and is the largest 

 business -enterprise in Normal. They 

 are now in the midst of the fall pack- 

 ing season and the value of the ship- 

 ments of this fall will probably amount 

 to between $60,000 and $70,000. This is 

 a little in advance of the usual business 

 done during the fall months. The spring 

 season is the greatest, about $125,000 

 worth of stock being shipped annually. 

 During these seasons of the year over 

 100 men are employed.
