The Weekly Florists' Review* 



77 



Then when a case goes astray in trans- 

 portation the railroad company has 

 nothing whatever to go by except a num- 

 ber. Again, when a buyer receives sev- 

 eral shipments at the same time, often 

 there is no way of telling which is which 

 and the receiver is at a loss to whom 

 to give credit for same. 



Not only the European shippers are at 

 fault, but some of the large American 

 houses as well. 



Each and every box should be prop- 

 erly tagged, the same as is done in other 

 lines of business, and not until this is 

 done will the trouble caused by goods 

 gone astray be eliminated. H. S. 



SHRUBS. 



It is a mistake to allow young privet 

 to grow unhindered, as to clipping, when 

 in the nursery rows. One, two and three- 

 year-old plants may be allowed to retain 

 a generous proportion of growth made 

 during the early part of the season, but 

 better results will be attained in the 

 shape of stocky, useful plants if they 

 are clipped once at least, and perhaps 

 twice. It will hasten the development 

 of the plants if those struck from green 

 cuttings are planted in nursery rows 

 whenever they are fairly well rooted. 



Spira?a Anthony Waterer is now glori- 

 ous; it will also continue so for some 

 time, and even after the first crop of 

 flowers is gone a new crop can be 

 brought into being if the wood is cut 

 back. This is one of the most useful 

 and showy of hardy plants. It was only 

 the other day I saw a large mass of it 

 planted just inside the wall at the en- 

 trance to a private residence. At each 

 side of the gate outside a number of 

 box trees were planted in groups; these, 

 without the redeemirfg assistance of the 

 spiraeas inside'and directly back of them, 

 would look stiff and ineffective, but the 

 spirsBas were there in full bloom and they 

 made a charming picture. 



The dogwoods are beautiful in the fall, 

 and especially so when they attain con- 

 siderable size, which they do in a re- 

 markably short time in favorable loca- 

 tions. It is useless planting dogwoods 

 in wet soil or where the water lodges 

 around the roots of the plants all 

 through the winter and early spring. 

 They may continue to exist in such loca- 

 tions indefinitely, but they will not thrive 

 there. D. M. 



Palo Alto, Cal. — Flint & Flint, pro- 

 prietors of the Las Palmas Greenhouses, 

 have just finished the erection of three 

 greenhouses, each 18x100 feet, in which 

 they expect to grow carnations princi- 

 pally. D. V, Tuttle, formerly with the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., of Painesville, 

 O., will be in charge.
