BUYING TREES AND SHRUBS. 



The National Council of Horticulture, 

 in one of its press bulletins, gives the 

 following advice: 



"If possible the purchaser of trees or 

 shrubs should choose his purchases from 

 growing stock that he views and con- 

 siders with regard to his especial require- 

 ments. A gardener should select with 

 the utmost care everything of a perma- 

 nent nature that he puts in his garden. 

 Especially is this the ease with fruit- 

 bearing trees and shrubs. The best is 

 the cheapest, it being more economical to 

 destroy a poor specimen than to waste 

 time and effort trying to make a good 

 plant of it. The same applies to a rose 

 bush or any ornamental plant. 



"The buyer who orders haphazard 

 from a nurseryman's catalogue without 

 either seeing the plants he is purchasing, 

 or giving the seller an idea of his spe- 

 cial requirements, will be lucky if disap- 

 pointment is not his lot. Quality, and 

 not quantity, should always be the 

 watchword of the gardener, since a sin- 

 gle rose bush of surpassing beauty will 

 give more pleasure than a dozen that 

 are failures. 



"If it is impossible for the purchaser 

 to visit a nursery and make his own se- 

 lections, he should obtain expert advice 

 from someone who understands how to 

 order with specifications that will insure 

 stock of the right sort being delivered, 

 and who knows what variety will be best 

 suited to tbe given conditions. 



"Advice of this sort may be obtained 

 from the nurserymen themselves and the 

 purchaser will do well to write for sug- 

 gestions on all points he does not thor- 

 oughly understand. But a trip to the 

 nursery, where all varieties may be seen 

 growing, and the various specimens com- 

 pared will be productive of information 

 enough to make it profitable to any ama- 

 teur wherever it is possible."

 season, this was the most floriferous in tbe collection, coming into bloom early and con-
