 The asd annual convrentlon wUl be helu at Mil- 

 waukee, June, ia08. 



The apple crop of Kansas is estimated 

 at only four and one-half per cent of a 

 full crop. 



An interesting account of the life of 

 John C. Teas, who die's July 29, will 

 be found in the obituary column this 

 week. 



Nearly all the creditors of the Al- 

 baugh Nursery & Orchard Co., of Tad- 

 mor, O., which was forced into bank- 

 ruptcy June 28, have filed consents in the 

 district court to have tha. involuntary 

 bankruptcy proceedings dismissed and al- 

 low the company's affairs to be admin- 

 istered by a receiver. 



THE NEV HYDRANGEA. 



The free flowering habit of the new 

 American hydrangea, H. arborescens 

 sterilis, or H. arborescens grandiflora, is 

 something very unusual in a hardy flow- 

 ering shrub. Spring-set plants have 

 been in bloom since the latter part of 

 June and seem likely to continue to pro- 

 duce fresh flowers until toward frost. 

 Finely formed flowers nine to eleven 

 inches in diameter are now seen, as 

 white as flowers ever are. 



As to the hardiness of this plant, we 

 learn that small plants set last October 

 on a bleak prairie in northern Illinois 

 passed through the winter safely, with- 

 out any protection, while weigelias and 

 other shrubs were killed to the ground. 



It should be a matter of pride to 

 Americans that we have a native hy- 

 drangea equal in every respect, in 

 beauty and value, to the well-known Hy- 

 drangea paniculata gradiflora. T.
