JuNiPERUs Canadensis aubea is a low, 

 spreading juniper, with golden yellow 

 foliage which darkens to bronze color in 

 winter. This juniper is very effective 

 when planted in groups on slopes and in 

 rockeries. 



In rows of evergreens which were 

 transplanted last year, every other one 

 should be taken out for sale this spring, 

 in order to make those left handsome 

 specimens, which will command a much 

 higher price next year. 



NuRSEEYMEN having storage houses 

 and cellars have great advantages over 

 those who do not possess these convenient 

 accessories. Trees and shrubs, especially 

 the latter,- can be shipped earlier and to 

 better advantage out of such storage 

 places in early spring than from the 

 open ground. And then, again, storage 

 houses and cellars can be used for the 

 purpose of prolonging the shipping, and 

 as a result, prolonging the planting sea- 

 son of many plants, which may be a 

 great advantage when the business ex- 

 tends over a larg^ area of country. 



The Cedar Hill Nursery and Orchard 

 Co., Winchester, Tenn,, the financial 

 troubles of which were reported in last 

 week 's Eeview, is not only one of the 

 largest institutions of its kind in that 

 part of the country, but was in reality 

 the pioneer of the nursery business in 

 that section. M. J. Shadow, father of 

 J. W. Shadow, the present proprietor, 

 was the first man to engage in that 

 business there, and his sons have since 

 continued it. The Cedar Hill nursery 

 did an average annual business of $250,- 

 000, and gave employment to a large 

 number of people. Hugh Morton, the 

 trustee, will continue the business for the 

 benefit of the creditors, and Mr. Shadow 

 hopes to clean up all outstanding obli- 

 gations inside of a year. In fact, if this 



should be a good peach year the peach 

 orchards will easily pay off all obliga- 

 tions. 



PROTECTION IN SPRING. 



Bhododendrons, as well as many kinds 

 of choice evergreens, are occasionally al- 

 lowed to suffer considerably in the early 

 spring by a too absolute and early re- 

 moval of what had been used for their 

 protection all through the winter. 'VThen 

 such plants are covered so as to exclude 

 the sunlight during the winter, it will 

 be well to remove such covering by easy 

 stages, in order that a sudden exposure to 

 the sun and the cold, sharp winds may 

 not injuriously affect them. 



English ivy is liable to be injured by 

 removing all at once, or too early, that 

 which has protected it all winter. It 

 stands to reason that plants covered, as 

 we see English ivy, with burlap for four 

 or five months, will not take kindly to a 

 sudden removal of their protection, and 

 the appearance of the foliage a few 

 days after such removal is convincing 

 proof that they were not in a condition 

 to stand such treatment. M. 



FUNKIAS F«OR OUTDOOR WORK. 



Funkias aree among the hardiest and 

 most omamentsal plants for outdoor plant- 

 ing. Funkia ggiandiflora is not only rich- 

 ly ornamental iin its luxuriance of foliage, 

 but it is also beautiful when in bloom. 

 The flowers aare pure white and very 

 odoriferous, p»erhaps a little too much 

 so. A large clTiimp of this funkia, border- 

 ed with F. aUlo-maxginata,- is quite ef- 

 fective. 



These plant i s will grow in almost an^ 

 kind of soil, w^et or dry, but they develop 

 their most str-riking characteristics when 

 planted in go«od, rich soil of moderate 

 depth. 



Another go«od trait in these plants 

 is their capabiility of being rapidly mul- 

 tiplied. They- can he divided in early 

 summer, with the result that those newly 

 planted will grow and flower just as if 

 they had not Hbeea disturbed. M. 



PLANTING RHODODENDRONS. 



When rhodo dendrons are being planted 

 it may not hoe easy to give them the 

 kind of soil they are known to thrive
