Of the white lilacs, Frau Bertha Dam- 

 mann is one of the best; a free bloomer, 

 with medium-sized flowers borne in large 

 panicles. 



Prof. A. T. Burgess, Ohio state in- 

 spector of orchards and nurseries, haa 

 resigned and will go to Massachusetts, 

 where he will have charge of the state 

 experiments to kill the gypsy and brown- 

 tailed moths. 



President Orlando Harrison, of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen, 

 says it is high time the nurserymen were 

 raising prices: "Turn your attention 

 from seeing how cheaply you can pro- 

 duce stock to seeing how good stock you 

 can produce." 



PACIFIC COAST NURSERIES. 



EiVERSiDE, Wash. — J. A. Pansier, of 

 Pogue Prairie, and F. W. Hoffman, of 

 Wenatchee, will establish a nursery on 

 Evergreen ranch, Pogue Prairie, and 

 another at Wenatchee, They will this 

 year plant at each place about 50,000 

 apple root grafts and 4,000 cherry trees. 

 A. T, Gossman and F. L. Kimball, repre- 

 senting the Columbia and Okanogan 

 Nursery Co., have been in Riverside for 

 several days, looking up a location for 

 a nursery. Their company already has 

 nurseries in Wenatchee and Chelan. 



PRIVET CUTTINGS. 



Privet, large or small, is good stock 

 to have on hand, the demand for it is 

 constantly increasing. Although it 

 would have been better, perhaps, if the 

 cuttings had been taken off the hedges, 

 or the other stock plants, a month or 

 two ago and buried, after being tied up 

 in bundles in sand or soil until spring, 

 still it is not yet too late to do the 

 work if the young wood is all right, 

 which can easily be discerned by ob- 

 serving if the bark is firm and green on 

 the wood. If it is, it is in good condi- 

 tion. If the wood is winter-killed the 

 bark will come off almost at a touch, 

 and besides, it will have changed on 

 the under side from green to a brown- 

 ish black. When the wood is taken off 

 for cuttings it can be cut up into the 

 proper cutting lengths now or simply 

 tied up in bundles as it is cut off the 

 bushes, and the cuttings made just be- 

 fore putting them in the nursery rows 

 in early spring. In whichever case, 

 they ought, even now, to be buried, or 

 at least covered and left so until 

 spring weather sets in and nursery 

 work gets under way. R. R. 



PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



Seeds of perennial plants are usually 

 sown in the late summer or autumn in 

 order that they may develop into such 

 a state of maturity as to enable them 

 to- flower the year following. All these 

 plants need wintering in coldframes, or 

 at least most of them do. Seed of per- 

 ennials sown now will not flower this 

 year. I mean those that are commonly 

 known as herbaceous plants. There are
