Peert's Haedt Plant Farms, from 

 which many American nurserymen have 

 drawn supplies, have been removed from 

 Winchraore Hill, England, to Enfield, 

 Middlesex. 



One of the best plants, if not the 

 best, for a hedge in extremely exposed 

 places on the seashore, is Rosa rugosa. 

 In early summer the foliage of this rose 

 is luxuriant and beautiful. Later, when 

 in flower, it is simply gorgeous, and later 

 still, when the flowers have given place 

 to berries, the effect is almost as pleas- 

 ing and fully as bright and cheerful. 

 This last stage continues until winter has 

 almost arrived. 



Sometimes when it became necessary 

 to fill in and around the trunks of large 

 trees in changing a grade, iron ban^s 

 have been used to keep tne soil away 

 from the trees, leaving a space between 

 such bands and the bark. It has been 

 conclusively demonstrated that such a 

 method for the supposed protection of 

 the trees is more fatal to them than if 

 the soil had been put right up to the 

 bark. This, no doubt, results from the 

 action of the water which collects in the 

 space between the bark and the band, 

 acting in- a manner injurious to the 

 roots just where they emerge from the 

 trunk of the tree, 



WISCONSIN NURSERY LAW. 



At the last session of the "Wisconsin 

 legislature four new sections were added 

 to the act relating to the sale of nursery 

 stock and seeds. That part of the new 

 laws regulating the sale of nursery stock 

 is as follows: 



"Section 1494— 11m. Any person, 

 firm or corporation who shall, by him- 

 self, his agent, or as agent or repre- 

 sentative of any other person, firm or 

 corporatioB, sell or deliver, in this state, 

 fruit trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings, buds 

 or ornamental plants which are sold, 

 offered or exposed for sale for planting, 

 shall, at the time of the delivery of the 

 same, give to the purchaser a certified 

 statement of such sale, giving the correct 

 name, kind and number of each variety 

 sold and the name and location of the 

 nursery or place where such trees, shrubs, 

 vines, cuttings, buds or orn&mental plants 

 were fully grown. 



"Section 1494 — llo. Any person, firm, 

 corporation, agent or representative who 

 shall violate any provision of section 

 1494 — 11m shall be deemed guilty of a 

 misdemeanor and upon conviction there- 

 of shall be punished by a fine of not less 

 tnan $10 nor more than $100 for each 

 and every offense." 



MAGNOLIA SEEDS. 



Magnolia seeds should be freed of 

 pulp just as soon as the parting of the 

 pods is noticeable. This can be done by 

 mixing the seeds with finely screened 

 clean sand and allowing them to remain 

 in that condition about a week, when all 

 the pulp matter will become decayed to 

 sucn a degree that in the process of sub- 

 sequent washing it will separate readily 

 from the seeds. When the seeds are well

cleaned they should be put in slightly 

 moist sand and then kept in a cool place 

 until they are required to be sown. 



Although successful sowing of mag- 

 nolia seed outdoors in the fall is pos- 

 sible, still the spring is perhaps the 

 best time to sow the seed in the open. 

 The seed bed should be covered lightly 

 with leaves. Where greenhouse space is 

 available, magnolia seedlings may be 

 raised indoors by sowing the seeds in 

 shallow boxes during the latter part of 

 January, taking care to shade the seeds. 

 Squares of glass placed over the boxes, 

 with a sheet of paper over the glass dur- 

 ing the day, will answer the purpose. 

 When the seedlings are well above the 

 soil they should be put into small pots, 

 not transplanted into other boxes, and 

 should be kept growing and shifted as 

 growth progresses. M.
