instances, seen growing upright, and 

 gorgeous they are, too, for a time. 

 This rose makes a good subject for 

 planting in beds of any desired size. 

 The •wood should be tied down to wires 

 attached to and strung from neat posts 

 placed in the beds, the tops of the posts 

 not more than eighteen inches from the 

 surface. Under favorable conditions the 

 second season after planting the plants 

 tied to these wires will cover the entire 

 surface of the beds, making when in 

 bloom something unique and effective 

 without resulting nakedness. K. R. 



OUTDOOR ROSES. 



Kose Dorothy x'erkins is one of the 



•best varieties for various purposes. It 



makes a handsome thing when grown in 



pots and it is also beautiful when in 



^bloom on a porch or piazza. 



Lady Gay much resembles Dorothy 

 Perkins and a purchaser will lose noth- 

 ing if he has to take an equal number 

 of each variety. 



There are many beautiful varieties of 

 hybrid perpetual roses, but I doubt very 

 much if there is a white to beat Frau 

 Karl Druschki. 



For outdoor planting, hybrid tea roses 

 were left very much alone because their 

 cultivation entailed the necessity of lift- 

 ing them for winter protection. The 

 great number of exceedingly good va- 

 rieties which have recently come to no- 

 tice or have been introduced, along with 

 a better understanding of their merits 

 as a class, has placed these roses in a 

 light where a little extra work is not 

 grudged. They bloom freely and con- 

 tinuously. 



Baby Rambler roses on standard 

 stems are now offered. If they are able 

 to survive in that form a bright future 

 is assured for them. 



For a bedding rose in pink, there is 

 nothing to beat that old favorite, Her- 

 mosa, but it is useless for cutting. 



Outdoor roses, hybrid perpetuals, hy- 

 brid teas and especially trailing and 

 climbing roses can be produced in this 

 country equal in quality to those im- 

 ported; therefore, there is no reason 

 why American growers should not sup- 

 ply the demand. E. E.

spection of nurseries iff Utah, chief 

 among which is the provision that all 

 trees sold from nurseries must be in- 

 spected after they are dug. Heretofore 

 trees have* been inspected before being 

 taken from the ground and the inspect- 

 ors have been unable to detect root dis- 

 eases accurately. Nurserymen must no- 

 tify the state board of horticulture five 

 days before digging up trees. 



All nurserymen of the state must take 

 out licen^s before they can carry on a 

 regular nursery business. The licenses 

 vary, costing from $10 to $50, according 

 to their provisions. 



One of the most important provisions 

 of the new law is that making fumiga- 

 tion of all trees brought into the state 

 obligatory. Heretofore trees brought in 

 from the east, accompanied by a certifi- 

 cate of fumigation, have been allowed 

 to go into Utah nurseries without being 

 touched by local state inspectors. Eail- 

 roads must now notify the state horti- 

 culture agents, as well as the nursery- 

 men to whom trees are consigned, of 

 the arrival of shipments. Fumigation 

 points are to be established about the 

 state for fumigating imported trees. 



Nurserymen in general are said to be 

 elated over the passage of the new law, 

 claiming that while it will work hard- 

 ships on a few at first it will result in 

 greatly benefiting the nursery business 

 of the state within a comparatively short 

 time. The nursery business of Utah 

 amounted to about $175,000 last year, 

 and this year it is expected it will run 

 well over $250,000.

The Easter Trade. 



We have had a fine business and much 

 more stock of all kinds has br«n sold 

 than last year; but against this is the 

 fact that the prices obtained were in 

 many cases less than a year ago. What 

 acted as such a clog to higher prices 

 for both plants and cut stock was the 

 wave of summer heat we have had to 

 contend Avith. The temperature has for 

 a fortnight ranged from 75 to 80 de- 

 grees. Again, the amount of bulb stock 

 ' was enormous ; so much so that tulips 

 and narcissi went to customers for 35 

 cents a dozen. The sales of violets were 

 large and they were well cleaned up. 

 Carnations and roses, as usual, had a
