 The 83d annual convention will be neld at Mil - 

 waukee, June, 1908. 



The variegated yews are much hardier 

 and suffer less in winter than those de- 

 void of variegation. 



Good specimens of blue spruce are 

 worth so much, in consequence of the in- 

 creased demand, that it seems a very 

 desirable subject for attention. 



Des Moines, Ia. — The Grand View 

 Nursery Co. will erect a commodious 

 brick building for its oflSce and ware- 

 house at East Ninth and Hull streets. 



If balls of generous dimensions are 

 obtainable, large evergreens may and 

 perhaps should be moved in winter, in 

 preference to the spring. Not so, how- 

 ever, with small evergreens. 



Cedeus Atlantica makes a beautiful 

 lawn specimen when in a location where 

 it can have room to develop. It seems 

 a pity that this tree should be planted 

 in groups, as it often is, and allowed to 

 get crowded until all noble characteristics 

 of the tree are destroyed. 



T;h£BE is not the least doubt that the 

 autumn is the best time to begin moving 

 large specimen deciduous trees and it 

 will also be found good policy to con- 

 tinue work right through the winter, 

 instead of waiting until spring. In win- 

 ter tree movers have the advantage of 

 frost to aid them in many ways. 



TVO NEW ROSES. 



Hugh Low & Ck>., of Enfield, England, 

 report that they have two remarkably 

 fine novelties in the, way of roses which 

 will be sent out from England during 

 the coming fall. One of them, which is 

 named J. Lowe, sported in England from 

 Belle Siebrecht. The flower is of the 

 same shape as this latter variety, and the 

 habit of the plant is said to be as free 

 flowering as that of its forerunner. The 

 color of the flower, however, has been de- 

 scribed in the Gardeners-' Magazine as a 

 glorified Chatenay. It possesses a good 

 odor. It received the award of merit 

 from the Royal Horticultural Society 

 July 9. The other new rose, Baby Doro- 

 thy, is a dwarf, free-flowering polyantha, 

 of the same type as Baby Itembler, but 

 is, if anything, freer in habit. The color, 

 that of Dorothy Perkins, will make it a 

 popular bedding and forcing rose for pot 

 work. 



GERMAN NURSERYMEN. 



About a year ago the project of the 

 formation of a confederation of nur- 

 serymen was brought forward. Since 

 that time the representatives of the nur- 

 sery interests have not been allowed to 

 rest, but it has been repeatedly referred 

 to in the German horticultural press, 

 with the result that the project has taken 

 a definite shape, and at the Mannheim 

 exhibition, where many members of the 

 trade were present, it was decided to 

 form an association with H. Muller, of 

 Langsur, as president. The next meet- 

 ing will take place at Eisenach in 1908. 

 The matters that will be the first to be 

 dinnnfiii are railway taziffB for the dia-

 the rise in wages, can best be reduced; 

 tax on imports; unity in prices for cer- 

 tain plants, and their size and form, as 

 for example roses, avenue trees, orna- 

 mental shrubs, etc.; and the existing 

 stocks of these. The principle of the 

 open door will also come under discus- 

 sion, and on this point the views ex- 

 pressed in general are that there should 

 be no hindrances as regards the trade in 

 nursery stock as between one province 

 and another in the Empire, but the for- 

 eigner should be taxed. Then there will 

 be discussions concerning circuit, com- 

 munal, provincial and school nurseries, 

 and the injury to the trade which results 

 from their competition. The subjects are 

 so like those with which trade associa- 

 tions in the United States and other 

 countries concern themselves that the 

 matter will be of wide interest.

Gooseberries are easily propagated by 

 layering and by cuttings. Layering is 

 done early in summer and its considera- 

 tion is therefore ont of question now. 

 Crooseberry cnttings of almost any length 

 may be taken, but strong, firm wooded 

 ones are the most satiBfactory. If the 

 cnttings are taken off close to the branch 

 from which they hare sprung, so much 

 the better and tbe more likely they will 

 be to make good plants. The points
