ding plants, and that with the added 

 knowledge and consideration that once 

 there always there, with but little trouble 

 in the bargain. 



The spring is the best time to plant 

 young stock of this class of plants and 

 pot-grown stock is superior in many ways 

 to that lifted from the open ground. 

 For that reason many growers grow 

 herbaceous plants up to the selling size 

 in pots. In pots they are also much 

 easier handled and shipped than when 

 from the open ground. 



On private estates, borders of her- 

 baceous plants of mixed varieties and 

 species are appropriate and sometimes a 

 necessity; but when such is the case, 

 care should be taken in selecting the 

 stock for planting, that in the collection 

 there will be material that will insure 

 an unbroken effect throughout the sea- 

 son, a feat quite within the range of 

 possibility. 



On commercial places it is much the 

 better plan to plant a number of each 

 species and variety in a row or rows by 

 itself, for convenience of harvesting the 

 flowers and other evident reasons. 



The fall of the year is the best time 

 to divide and move old clumps of her- 

 baceous plants. All tall growing varie- 

 ties should be staked and kept neatly 

 tied. B. R. 



SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



Wistarias may be called old-fashioned, 

 but they are useful, nevertheless, and 

 there seems to be now a growing demand 

 for them. Wistaria Chinensis, the com- 

 mon blue variety, makes a great display. 

 In May it is invaluable for covering 

 large and grotesque tree trunks and like- 

 wise is useful for covering portions of 

 rustic summer houses and the like. W. 

 Chinensis alba is a white-flowering form 

 of the former variety and is similar in 

 habit of growth and endurance. It is 

 very effective when grown together with 

 the blue variety. W. multijuga bears 

 flowers in panicles three feet long about 

 the end of May. In color the flowers are 

 deep purple and they hang from all over 

 the vine. 



The pink dogwood, Cornus florida 

 rubra, is a beautiful, early, spring-flower- 

 ing shrub. It should be planted early in 

 the spring. 



The Japanese double-flowering cherry, 

 Cerasus Sieboldi, is beautiful when in

full flower in spring and again in au- 

 tumn, when the color of the leaves 

 changes to yellow and finally to bronze. 

 It is unique in its class. 



Ampelopsis Veitchii is unsurpassed in 

 its capabilities for efficient service when 

 something is wanted to do the work re- 

 quired of it in a short time; and, not 

 only that, but in summer it equals in 

 beauty of foliage any other vine in culti- 

 vation. In the fall when the leaves 

 change to colors innumerable, it is pleas- 

 ing in the extreme. E. K. 



TAFT ON THE SEEDLESS APPLE. 



The following is an extract from a 

 ' ' warning " by L. K. Taf t, of the Mich- 

 igan Agricultural College, addressed to 

 the farmers of this state but of interest 

 to all nurserymen : 



"From various sources it has come to 

 me that the agents of the Michigan 

 Seedless Apple Co. (so-called) have been 

 taking orders for the Spencer Seedless 

 apple and that many farmers and fruit 

 growers have agreed to take one or more 

 trees at $2 each. They have been led to 

 do this by the representation that the 

 fruit in addition to being large in size 

 handsome in color, fine of texture and 

 of delicious flavor is coreless, seedless 

 and free from the attack of the codling 

 moth and frosts. I have been watching 

 this variety for the last three years and 

 am convinced that it is in every way in- 

 ferior to our common varieties which 

 can be obtained for 10 to 15 cents each. 



"The state law requires that every

 take out a license. This has not been 

 done, either by the Michigan Seedless 

 Apple Co. or by any of its agents, and 

 if any of them deliver the trees for 

 which orders have been taken, they will 

 be subject to prosecution, with a fine or 

 imprisonment as a penalty. Complaint 

 under the law may be made either to 

 the prosecuting attorney of any county 

 or to the state board of agriculture, 

 Lansing, Michigan. ' ' 



MORE BLUE EVERGREENS. 



The beautiful blue-grey tint which dis- 

 tinguishes Roster's pine and the blue 

 spruce is so uncommon that it is desirable 

 that all additions of this delightful color- 

 ing should be made as widely known as 

 possible. In walking round Veitch's 

 Coombe "Wood nursery the other day, 

 which we may remark in passing, is not 

 only a wonderful storehouse of rarities, 

 but one of the most charmingly pic- 

 turesque establishments we have visited, 

 we noted two very pretty shrubs of this 

 class, says a writer in the Horticultural 

 Advertiser. Cupressus Azorica is a shrub 

 of distinct habit, with branches more
