J. H. H. Boyd, McMinnville)xTeun., 

 says the sudden arrival of summer has 

 put a stop to nursery shipments in his 

 section. 



Many large orchards of the improved 

 varieties of chestnuts are to be found in 

 Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and 

 New York. 



The Spokane Nursery Co., Spokane, 

 Wash., has invested $3,000 in three lots 

 adjoining its property and will add to its 

 planting by just that much. 



During the last few months all the 

 nut nurseries have been actively engaged 

 in grafting pecan stock and reports in- 

 dicate a large increase in the number set. 



The Maryland Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, College Park, Md., has is- 

 sued interesting bulletins entitled "Nut 

 Growing in Maryland" and "Strawber- 

 ries. ' ' 



The p. J. Berckmans Co., Augusta, 

 Ga., says that the unprecedentedly warm 

 weather this season has cut short the 

 shipping season in that locality by at 

 least three weeks. 



Bates Bros, recently sold their inter- 

 ests in the nursery business at Floral, 

 Kan., and have associated themselves 

 in the tree-growing department of the 

 Wichita Nursery, Wichita. 



George C. Perkins, of Jackson & Per- 

 kins Co., Newark^N. Y., sails for Europe 

 April 15, on the steamer Majestic. He 

 goes upon a business trip in the interests 

 of his house, and will visit the leading 

 places of horticultural interest in Great 

 Britain and on the continent. 



The nurserymen of the south have 

 had a good season, but not so good as 

 would have been the case with a more 

 favorable shipping season. The financial 

 disturbances in the north have had little 

 effect on tne planting of nursery stock at 

 the south, but the early spring cut short 

 the shipping season to such an extent 

 that the volume of business was consider- 

 ably reduced from what it would have 

 been had a normal season prevailed. 



Spiraea arguta comes into bloom the 

 first week in May, the slender branches 

 being thickly covered with small, dense 

 clusters of pure white fiowers. It is quite 

 hardy and can always be depended on 

 to make an effective display. The small 

 olive green leaves on the numerous 

 branchlets are retained until late in the 

 season. Its average height is four feet, 

 but in fifteen years' time it will grow

THE HARDY MAGNOLIAS. 



The hardy magnolias have never been 

 appreciated as they should be here in 

 Massachusetts. "We have been growing 

 these in quantity for over thirty years. 

 After discarding the more tender va- 

 rieties, we still have seven or eight 

 which are perfectly hardy in any well 

 sheltered location in this vicinity. When 

 in bloom in April and May they are 

 "the most magnificent flowering trees in 

 America." Some are fully as large and
