Washington last week and next week 

 two car-loads will go to New York. The 

 climate of Franklin county is finely 

 adapted to growing nursery stock and 

 the acreage is being increased, but the 

 area is not more than it once was, for we 

 had a flood here several years ago which 

 about cleaned us out. Ever since then 

 the time has been spent in getting back 

 the acreage to what it was. 



THE WEST MICHIGAN FREEZE. 



How hard the Michigan fruit belt has 

 been hit by the severe cold weather the 

 first part of October it is impossible to 

 determine at this time, but it seems al- 

 most certain from reports received from 

 Watervliet that the prospects of a peach 

 crop for next year have been destroyed. 

 After a thorough examination of his or- 

 chards J. F. Clauser is of the opinion 

 that his peach, plum and pear trees were 

 all Tiilled to the snow line. J. S. Biirn- 

 'side is afraid the peach trees have all 

 been killed. An examination of the 

 peach orchards on Woody Crest indicate 

 that they have met a like fate, with the 

 possible exception of those grown in the 

 sod under the mulching system. George 

 W. Grant, of the Paw Paw Valley Nurs- 

 ery Co., also thinks that young trees have 

 been badly injured, if not killed out- 

 right. While the lowest temperature in 

 any part of Berrien county was only 10 

 degrees above zero, yet the fruit trees 

 were full of sap and in no condition to 

 withstand such a freeze. 



E. H. Sherwood, owner of the Lake 

 View Orchards and one of the largest 

 fruit growers in Michigan, is not so

SHHUBS FROM SEEDS. 



I wish to sow some seeds of shrubs and 

 ornamental trees, and would like your 

 advice concerning the matter. The seeds 

 are Exochorda grandiflora, euonymus, 

 Calycanthus floridus, different kinds of 

 cornus and magnolia. Is it better to sow 

 these seeds in the fall or in the spring I 



H. G. N. 



Exochorda grandiflora does not pro- 

 duce seeds freely except on old plants. 

 Seeds may be sown in early spring, pref- 

 erably in a frame where they can have 

 some shade and the proper moisture until 

 germination. Cuttings of this shrub do 

 not root readily, but it easily can be lay- 

 ered. Euonymus, such as alatus and 

 Europseus, should have the seed strati- 

 fied, and be sown in spring, either under 

 sash or outdoors in shallow drills. The 

 seeds germinate freely. The evergreen 

 euonymus roots freely from cuttings any

time during the summer. The variety E. 

 alatus may be propagated in a frame 

 from well ripened wood in late summer. 

 These are preferable to seedlings. 



Calycanthus floridus may be propagat- 

 ed from seeds sown in spring. It also 

 is readily increased by division and from 

 suckers. Some red branched varieties of 

 cornus, such as C. sanguinea, C. alba 

 and C. Baileyi can be raised from seeds, 

 which usually do not germinate until the 

 following spring. These same sorts can 

 be increased by cuttings of mature wood, 

 which root freely. The well known C. 

 floridus may also be propagated in the 

 same way. The cuttings should be in- 

 serted in a shaded frame during late 

 summer. 



Magnolia seeds are best sown under 

 glass as soon as ripe. The general method 

 of propagation adopted for most of this 

 genus is veneer or side grafted on potted 

 stock under glass. Magnolias are hard 

 to transplant; hence it is desirable to 

 pot off seedlings singly, rather than place 

 them in flats. Grafted stock also gives 

 best results if planted out from pots.
