 taining an account of the proceedings 

 at the last annual meeting, August 15 to

Thebe will be a big call for the Frau 

 Karl Druschki rose next spring. It did 

 well everywhere last season and nursery- 

 men esteem it one of the best new things 

 in years. 



It is worth while keeping an eye on 

 the pages of European advertising in 

 the Review. There are many oflFera 

 there that will mean money to you to

The Horticultural Trades Association 

 of Great Britain this year tried the 

 badge-book idea of the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen and the members 

 were so well pleased that the plan will 

 be continued. 



Mbs. J. C. Feslee, of Eochelle, is 

 urging that Illinois adopt a state tree 

 and asks each public school to take a 

 vote to decide which tree shall be se- 

 lected, the result of the joint ballot to 

 be communicated to the- state legislature. 



Oechabdists throughout Missouri and 

 Illinois must choose between the spray 

 pump and the ax in treating their fruit 

 trees, according to experts who addressed 

 a meeting of St. Louis county fruit grow- 

 ers at Clayton, Mo., October 12. G. T. 

 Powell, Geneva, N. Y.; Leonard Hase- 

 man, assistant in entomology in the State 

 University at Columbia, and Prof. H. C.

 sery Co. 



TREES PLANTED FOR SCREENS. 



It has been on more than one occa-

 in planting trees for the evident purpose 

 of hiding objectionable features in the 

 vicinity was not attained, or, if it was,

but for a brief space of time, betouse 

 of a misunderstanding of the manage- 

 ment of the screens, or, still worse, of 

 neglect. The trees were allowed to grow 

 up unchecked and in several cases they 

 were planted thickly, and in consequence 

 little foliage was on the trees where it 

 was most needed to answer the intended 

 purpose. If on the other hand these 

 trees (maples and willows) had been at- 

 tended to in the matter of trimming and 

 pruning, especially topping, an operation 

 absolutely necessary in the case of trees 

 of rapid growth intended for permanent 

 screens, the purpose originally intended 

 would not only be attained but the lives 

 of the trees would also be considerably 

 prolonged. 



When trees are at first planted for 

 the purpose of screening it is no doubt 

 necessary to plant them thickly in order 

 that something will be accomplished with- 

 out loss of time, but it should always be 

 remembered that as they grow and be- 

 gin to crowd each other it will pay either 

 to move some to make room for others 

 before all are practically ruined, or to

And, again, it should be remembered 

 that it is not a good plan to wait until 

 a tree grows to the same height as the 

 object it is planted to screen before it 

 is topped or pruned back. 



After the trees moved or cut down are 

 gone there may be blank spaces that will 

 require some temporary filling until such 

 spaces are taken up by the growth of the 

 remaining trees. These spaces may, for
