get into such a state that only a few top 

 branches remain, but if judicious trim- 

 ming is resorted to, the effect originally 

 aimed at will be rendered permanent, 

 with the additional consideration of the 

 trees being allowed to develop in their 

 natural habits of growth. 



Taxus fastigiata (the Irish yew) is 

 used in large numbers for formal plant- 

 ing in gardens and other places. It is 

 particularly useful for that kind of 

 work, because it retains its distinct pyra- 

 midal habit without the assistance of the 

 knife or shears, but when the trees at- 

 tain a large size it will be advisable to 

 tie the branches in order to keep them 

 from spreading apart. 



Plumbago Larpentee (leadwort) is a 

 splendid, hardy little herbaceous plant 

 for planting sdong the base of a wall 

 where a narrow border calls for some- 

 thisg of that nature. This plant grows 

 not more than ten inches high. It has 

 beautiful dark green foliage. The flow- 

 ers are borne in great profusion in pro- 

 nounced clusters well up over the foliage. 

 The color of the flowers is a remarkably 

 intense blue and they appear in late 

 summer, continuing well into the au- 

 tumn. 



The hardy chrysanthemums are espe- 

 cially commendable for planting on 

 places where flowers are in demand for 

 outdoor effect late in the autumn, and 

 there is one that in particular lends it- 

 self admirably for that purpose, and 

 that is Golden Fleece. It is clear yel- 

 low in flower, and when a number are 

 planted either in a long, continuous bor- 

 der in front of shrubl^ry or in a mass 

 in a bed, the effect in the fall is more 

 than striking. Prince of Wales is a good 

 white variety that can be used for the 

 same purpose effectively. 



Dianthus barbatus (sweet william) is 

 a perennial and flowers the second year 

 from seed. This good, old-fashioned 

 flower of our ancestors is coming to the 

 front again, and no wonder. R. R. 



EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS. 



In the case of the United States ver- 

 sus P. Ouwerkerk, the U. S. Circuit 

 ■Court for the Southern District of New 

 York, May 14, found for Ouwerkerk. 

 The government had appealed from a 

 ■decision of the Board of General Ap- 

 praisers, as reported at the time in the 

 Review, which held that: 



"Species of the laurel (Aucuba Jap- 

 ■onica and Kalmia latifolia) and of the 

 rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum), 

 which retain their verdure throughout 

 the year, are 'evergreens' within the 

 •meaning of paragraph 252, tariff act of 

 1897; and under said paragraph seed- 

 lings of those plants are dutiable as 

 'evergreen seedlings' rather than as 

 'nursery stock.' " 



The government's contention as stated 

 in the petition was that the board was 

 in error in holding that the word "ever- 

 greens" as applied to plants covers not 

 only those commonly known as "ever- 

 greens" but also other plants which 

 retain their verdure through all seasons.

DESTROYING INFECTED STOCK, 



The fruit inspection law of Idaho is 

 being enforced most vigorously by the 

 state horticultural inspector and his depu- 

 ties. State Inspector A. F. Hitt reports 

 wholesale destruction of infected fruit 

 trees in different parts of the state. In 

 district No. 9, comprising Kootenai, Bon- 

 ner and Shoshone counties, 7,000 fruit 

 trees have been recently dug up and 

 burned by order of the horticultural ia- 

 spector, because of their being so in- 

 fested with insect pests. The owners 

 seemed to be converted to the idea and 

 did not hesitate to conform to the in- 

 structions of the inspector, 



Mr. Buckley, the northern Idaho in- 

 spector, also reports having destroyed 

 5,000 fruit trees out of one shipment, on 

 account of their being infested with 

 San Jose scale. In another instance he 

 held up two carloads, containing 17,000
