The demand for shrubs is reported 

 stronger than ever by some of the nurs-

 seems no limit to the demand in this 

 section. 



It is stated that the indebtedness of 

 the Central Michigan Nursery, Kalama-

S. C. Moon, Morrisville, Pa., says that 

 in his experience the rule for the one 

 transplanting trees or shrubs should be: 

 "Get all the roots you can, and keep all 

 the roots you get. " ' 



The Corn Belt Nursery Co., Blooming-

The landscape architect advises the 

 people to beware of the man who will 

 make a plan free, or at nominal cost, but 

 who expects the property owner to buy of 

 him the stock to execute the plan. 



The Department of Agriculture esti- 

 mates the average condition of the apple 

 crop of the whole United States as 39.4 

 per cent. In New York it is 65 per cent

CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



It has been observed on occasions after 

 California privet suffered injury during 

 a severe early frost in autumn, or a late 

 frost in spring, that plants which had 

 been moved the autumn previously were 

 unharmed. In consideration of this it 

 will be well for those intending to plant 

 privet in large numbers this autumn or 

 next spring to do as much as possible of 

 the work in the autumn in order that the 

 plants will at least be reasonably sure of 

 a fair start. 



In planting privet for a hedge, it may 

 be desirable to make provision for the 

 protection, not only of the hedge itself 

 from heavy accumulations of snow in 

 winter, but also to construct it so that it 

 will be effective in some measure in pro- 

 tecting the area which it is intended to 

 enclose from some kinds of animals, bi- 

 peds and quadrupeds. Therefore it may 

 be well to plant the hedge double, but 

 it is doubtful if it is in any way de- 

 sirable to plant double if those con- 

 siderations are not present. 



A great deal depends on the founda- 

 tion laid for a hedge at first, in regard 

 to its ultimate success, and for that rea- 

 son, when the trench is dug, if the soil 

 is not fairly rich it ought to be made 

 so by the addition of a generous portion 

 of good manure, cow manure preferably, 

 always taking care, however, to cover

the manure with eoil before placing the 

 plants in the trench. 



As a precaution, it will be well to cover 

 the surfape of the soil, when the plants 

 are in place, with coarse stable manure 

 to the depth of three or four inches. 

 This can be removed in the spring or 

 allowed to remain and, in case it may 

 be in a location rendering it objection- 

 able, it may be lightly covered with soil.

EDUCATE THE PUBLIC 



[A paper by J. A. Stewart, of Christopher, 

 Wash., read at the recent convention of the 

 Pacific Coast Nurserymen's Association.] 



Nurserymen ought to educate the 

 public and illustrate the difference be- 

 tween good and bad nursery stock. I 

 believe that the nurserymen, as a rule, 

 are getting into line to furnish the pub- 

 lic with good, healthy, high-grade and 

 true-to-name trees and plants. The hor- 

 ticultural laws have helped us to be 

 more painstaking in our work and a 

 better class of trees is now being turned 

 out than would otherwise have been, 

 without these restrictions. No matter 

 what line of business you are in, or what 

 'article you wish to purchase, one has 

 continually to be on his guard to see 

 that he gets the goods he wants, other- 

 wise he may be fooled or perhaps per- 

 suaded to take a substitute. The public 

 in general does not know the difference 

 between superior and inferior nursery 

 stock. It is a commodity altogether dif-
