 Milwaukee, June, 1908. 



C. A. EowLEY is preparing to start a 

 nursery at Gridley, 111. 



David P. Maecum is reported to be 

 planting an orchard of 10,000 Elberta 

 peach trees at Woodward, Ok., this fall. 



Wiseman 's horticultural establish- 

 ment, Elgin, Scotland, says it has ten 

 million larch and eight million Scotch 

 fir seedlings one and two years old. 



William A. Peterson, Chicago, says 

 that his confidence in the peony has been 

 justified by the aggregate of the season's 

 sales, which are ahead of last year. 



This has been a splendid season for 

 the nurserymen of the middle west. 

 Freezing up having held off, they have 

 done a most gratifying amount of fall 

 planting, and are still at it. 



One feature of the nursery business is 

 that fall orders, if anything prevents 

 filling, can be carried over until spring, 

 but spring orders, if not filled, are lost. 

 It pays to push for autumn business. 



GoRSE, or Ulex Europseus, has been 

 successfully grown from plants raised 

 from seed imported from Scotland, in 

 several locations along the New England 

 coast. It has not only survived one but 

 several winters and blooms regularly and 

 profusely. 



Peterson Nursery, Chicago, reports 

 that its fall season now is double the 

 spring leason in volume of business done, 

 where" ir was just the other way only a 

 few years ago. Now all work of trans- 

 planting in the nursery is done in the 

 spring instead of in the autumn, as for- 

 merly was the practice. 



Ered C. Smith, Ashland, Wis., has 

 taken steps toward becoming a nursery- 

 . man as well as a florist. For that pur- 

 pose he has purchased twelve acres of 

 land near town, and will begin work on it 

 as soon as the weather will permit next 

 spring. It is his intention to put in 

 20,000 plants the first season, including 

 fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs and 

 everything appertaining to a first-class 

 nursery. 



When it is desirable to procure trees 

 of rapid growth and of pyramidal habit, 

 to be planted somewhat closely together 

 to screen some unattractive object, Lom- 

 bardy poplars will be found to answer 

 the purpose admirably. This tree is also 

 well adapted for planting on boundaries 

 of estates and on places where the archi- 

 tecture, as well as the general character 

 of the landscape, requires trees possess- 

 ing such pronounced characteristics. 



C. W. Ward, of Queens, N. Y., who 

 holds timber interests in Michigan, is at- 

 tacking the state taxing laws, which he 

 says are hastening the deforesting of the 

 state by making it economically impos- 

 sible for property owners to maintain 

 their property on the plan of a forest 

 reserve. Mr. Ward delivered a carefully 

 prepared address on the subject at the 

 Lake States Forestry Convention held at 

 Saginaw, Mich., November 12 and 13.

The season is now at hand for the an- 

 nual meetings of the state horticultural 

 societies, and the nurserymen who have 

 the gift of oratory or the art of "mix- 

 ing" will proceed to get busy. Either 

 accomplishment is worth cultivating. 



One of the most rapid growing thorns, 

 as well as one of the handsomest while 

 in flower and fruit, is the cockspur 

 thorn, or Crataegus Crus-galli. This 

 thorn flowers usually about the middle of 

 May, and while in full bloom it is a 

 gorgeous mass of pure white. Late in 

 the autumn the fruit begins to color, 

 until by the middle of October it is a 

 bright red color. The fruit remains on 

 the tree for a considerable time during 

 which there are but few more striking or 

 cheerful objects than trees covered with 

 fruit. 



PROTECTION OF EVERGREENS. 



Small and medium-sized evergreens in- 

 variably need some protection in winter. 

 At least, it usually happens that those 

 protected in some way are in much bet- 

 ter condition when spring opens than

those of our choice varieties we may hav& 

 neglected to protect. Manure, hay, straw 

 or even leaves will answer for the soil 

 over the roots. 



In providing partial cover in winter 

 for the branches of evergreens the idea 

 is not to protect them from frost, but 

 rather to shade them from the evil ef- 

 fects of the sun when they are in a 

 frozen condition. To prevent such bad
