fall. Since the wooil is brittle, the 

 branches are easily broken by the wind. 

 In rich alluvial soils the silver maple 

 frequently attains a height of 115 feet 

 and a diameter of from three to five 

 feet. 



It is a moisture-loving tree, and 

 thrives best in river bottoms, where the 

 soil is a deep, porous alluvium. In the 

 west it succeeds only where the roots 

 can go down to permanent water. It is 

 moderately tolerant; on good situations 

 it approaches the sugar maple in shade- 

 enduring qualities. It is a rapid-grow- 

 ing tree, and in favorable situations it 

 commonly makes a diameter increase of 

 half an inch a year and occasionally 

 may even double this rate. 



Silver maple reproduces by stump 

 sprouts and seed. The seed, which 

 ripens in May or June, should be planted 

 immediately, since it loses its vitality 

 in a short time and will not germinate 

 if once allowed to become dry. It 

 should be sown in drills in rich, moist 

 soil. The drills should be three feet 

 apart for machine cviltivation or two 

 feet apart for hand cultivation. Only 

 about an inch of covering is necessary. 

 Thick sowing is advisable, since the per- 

 centage of germination is low. The 

 nursery rows should be carefully tilled 

 during the growing season. The seed- 

 lings will attain a height growth of 

 from twelve to thirty-six inches during 

 the first season. When one year old the 

 seedlings should be set in the perma- 

 nent plantation. 



LENOX, MASS.

 cultural Society was held Saturday,

 ticott views, on the gardens of Italy.

WILLIAM SAUNDERS 



The flowers are large, of splendid form, and are borne very freely in immense clusters. 

 The color is a deep rich sbininR scarlet sliEbtly dappled with crimson. Foliage is a rich 

 bronze. Height, S}i to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Saunders is decidedly the most perfect 

 Canna of this type that has been introduced: 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. 



OTTAWA 



Is a strong grower, Tery robust and 5 to 6 feet high. The flowers are large and beau- 

 tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken 

 sheen and you can imagine the effect a few plants will produce. 



NOTE— We had this Oanna on trial among the Canadian experimental stations last 

 summer and this is the official report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most 

 beautiful shades of colop I ever saw in Oannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past 

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

 tinuing until cut down by frost, as many as 18 expanded beads of blooms being counted at 

 one time on a plant, and not a poor one among them, all being of immense size." 50c each; 

 $6.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. 



NEW YORK 



Has the Orchid type of flower. Tbey have mncb more substance than the flowers of 

 the other varieties of this class, and will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest 

 varieties of oannas. The color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen. 

 The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 50c each; 

 $6.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100.
