W. L. Tayloe is contemplating start-

The W. "W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is 

 steadily adding to its nursery southwest 

 of the city. 



Nurserymen will find much of inter- 

 est on the Pacific Coast page of the Re- 

 view each week. 



A NOTICE of the approaching meeting 

 of the Pacific Coast Nurseymen's Associ-

W. P. Stark, of Louisiana, Mo., has 



been appointed, by Governor Folk, a 



member of the Missouri State Board 

 of Horticulture. 



C. W. Carman, who has had charge of 

 the Lawrence Nursery Co. interests at 

 Fort Madison, la., has removed with his 

 family to Lawrence, Kan. 



The Tampico Fruit and Nursery Co., 

 just incorporated at St. Paul, is organ- 

 ized to do a real estate business and its 

 nursery interests are only incidental. 



Christianson & Son, at Hutchinson, 

 Minn., are steadily increasing their busi- 

 ness and have this season secured fifteen 

 acres of land to add to their nursery. 



The annual meeting of the American 

 Peony Society, to be held at Ithaca, N. 

 Y., has been postponed to June 27 and 

 28, when it is thought the blooms will be 

 open, ten days behind the usual flower- 

 ing period there. 



Nurserymen should note that there is 

 a great increase in the demand for box 

 for edging and remember that it is 

 called for in larger sizes than was for- 

 merly the case. Box is easily propa- 

 gated from cuttings. 



The plant and tree label business es- 

 tablished at Derry, N. H., by Benjamin 

 Chase, and successfully carried on by 

 him for nearly forty years, will here- 

 after be conducted as the Benjamin 

 Chase Co., of which Benjamin Chase is 

 president and John C. Chase treasurer. 



The nurseryman is like the cobbler, 

 who lets his own children go with their 

 toes on the ground while he repairs the 

 shoes of others. The nurseryman begins 

 his transplanting operations and his 

 farm work after the planting for his 

 customers has been completed. With 

 many, this work for the season of 1907 

 was later than ever in starting. 



Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. 

 Y., is establishing a specimen garden 

 of roses which it is intended shall eventu- 

 ally include all varieties that are suffi- 

 ciently hardy for outdoor planting in 

 western New York. More than 750 dif- 

 ferent kinds were set out this spring, 

 and many others will be added next sea- 

 son. In laying out the planting, each 

 class of roses was placed by itself, and 

 under each class the kinds of similar 

 colors are grouped together, so as to 

 facilitate study and comparison. The 

 garden will also be used as a place for 

 carrying on hybridizations with a view

NURSERYMEN CONVENE. 



Detroit, June 12. — The American 

 Association of Nurserymen came to- 

 gether at 10 o'clock this morning at "the 

 Hotel Cadillac, for its thirty-second an- 

 nual convention. When President Or- 

 lando Harrison, of Berlin, Md., rapped 

 for order ho faced a large body of mem- 

 bers, and one that indicates that before 

 the end of the meeting the anticipations 

 of the largest attendance in the history 

 of the association will be fully realized, 

 in spite of the fact that the season is 

 so backward that nurserymen are far 

 busier than usual. There promises to be 

 a larger trade exhibition than usual when 

 all is in place. 



' After the usual formalities of greeting 

 the reports of officers and standing com- 

 mittees occupied the balance of the 

 morning session. The afternoon session 

 was devoted to five-minute talks on trade 

 topics and to meetings of the Protective 

 Associations. The evening was open for 

 an illustrated lecture, ' ' The Nurseries of 

 the United States, ' ' by Prof. John Craig, 

 of Cornell. 



EVERGREENS. 



Taxus baccata, var. repandens, spread- 

 ing English yew, is not very often seen 

 growing in nurseries and it is seldom 

 seen on private estates. It is a dwarf- 

 growing, spreading shrub, like yew, 

 peculiar in habit, but useful and effective 

 for some purposes. Occasionally an 

 evergreen is desired for planting in the 

 grass near the edge of a drive, where 

 anything that grows tall would spoil a 

 vista. This yew answers this purpose 

 admirably. I recently observed a dozen 

 specimens, averaging seven feet through, 

 on a private place, planted about ten 

 feet apart along a roadway for the pur- 

 pose indicated above. This yew is also 

 well adapted for planting in rockeries 

 and on sloping surfaces where ever- 

 greens of a different habit would be out 

 of place. 



Eetinospora squarrosa is a dwarf va- 

 riety of pleasing habit. It is one of the 

 most desirable evergreens for edging 

 and for planting in masses in places

where only dwarf specimens will suit. 

 Retinospora squarrosa Veitchii much re- 

 sembles the former in foliage, but is 

 more erect in habit and forms more of 

 a tree than the other. It is also in one 

 respect, at least, ahead of squarrosa, 

 and that is, that it is not so liable to be 

 winter-killed. 



Retinospora plumosa is naturally one 

 of the best of the retinosporas for for- 

 mal planting. It stands clipping well; 

 in form it is conical; the foliage is 

 light and feathery. 



Retinospora plumosa aurea, the golden 

 retinospora, is in form much like the 

 former, but with its beautiful golden 

 foliage it is much more decorative. It 

 stands shearing just as well as the other.

 medium sized evergreens, those in charge
