philadelphus, or mock orange; syringa, 

 or lilac; Spiraja callosa, or pink spiraea; 

 Spiraea Anthony Waterer, or dwarf spi- 

 raea; Hibiscus Syriacus, or althaea; Hy- 

 drangea paniculata grandiflora, or com- 

 mon hydrangea. 



Other shrubs which are worthy of 

 planting in the springtime are Hercules' 

 club, botanically known as Aralia spi- 

 nosa; the purple and the green-leaved 

 barberry; several varieties of the dog- 

 wood- and the flowering locust. 



Next to trees and shrubbery in the 

 consideration of a planting scheme come 

 perennials. vv hen once planted these 

 need little care from year to year. The 

 .anemone, foxglove, hollyhocks, asters, 

 poppies, peonies, chrysanthemums, phlox, 

 coreopsis, larkspur. Golden Glow, and 

 others that have been handed down 

 from our grandfathers' time, but have 

 been much improved in the descent, will 

 be found worthy of trial! 



GREENHOUSE A NECESSITY. 



It makes no difference how small a 

 nursery a man may have, he will need a 

 greenhouse. There is no doubt about 

 that, and he who is without one had 

 better erect one as soon as possible. 

 After he has it he will wonder how in 

 the world he ever got along without 

 one. 



Seeds of trees and shrubs, as well as 

 of perennials, germinate when sown or 

 planted outdoors, in frames or other- 

 wise; we know that. We also know, 

 however, that they cannot be controlled 

 when disposed of in that way vjith the 

 same output of labor and exertion as 

 they can when greenhouse space is 

 available, with its attendant equipment 

 for regulation of temperature and at- 

 mosphere. And besides all this, there 

 are many things in the line of cuttings 

 next to impossible to root outdoors, un- 

 less, perhaps, with the kid of a hotbed. 

 Whereas, with a greenhouse where bot- 

 tom heat, however slight, is available, 

 no difficulty presents itself in rooting 

 the same tiling. B. E.

TOLEDO, OHIO. 



One of the new enterprises of Toledo 

 is the Perennial Gardens Co., which 

 erected last fall several fine new green- 

 houses on its property on Broadway in 

 Miami. The grounds embrace five acres 

 and are located on the Maumee valley 

 belt. Last year the attention of many 

 people on their way to Maumee was at- 

 tracted by the bright field of hardy 

 perennials, which were planted so that 

 they might be seen by all passing. This 

 year a much larger number of varieties 

 will please the eye of all who happen to 

 take a trolley ride on the river belt line. 

 The company will grow flowering and or- 

 namental shrubs, hardy perennial plants, 

 pot plants and fruit and shade trees. 

 This is Toledo's first nursery. 



The grounds were thoroughly tiled last 

 fall and six greenhouses 18x125 feet and 

 a work shed 30x100 feet were erected. 

 The company was organized eleven 

 months ago and some well known Tole- 

 doans are interested in the concern. The 

 president of the company is Chas. J. S. 

 Phillips; F. H. Wolfman, vice-president; 

 T. J. Ziems, secretary; F. Grafe, treas- 

 urer,, and J. L. Schiller, manager. 



CoLLEGEViLLE, Pa. — A part of the roof 

 of the greenhouse of F. C. Prizer was 

 crushed by the weight of the recent 

 heavy snow.
