W. A. Peterson, Chicago, is at Kan- 

 sas City for a few days. 



F. Fallon, the florist of Eoanoke, 

 Va!, will establish a $5,000 nursery at 

 Winston Salem, N. C, this spring. 



A Texas nurseryman comes to the 

 front with a dwarf pecan tree. There 

 are various reasons why such a tree will 

 prove popular. 



It is reported that 75,000 rose plants 

 are going into the field at Charlotte, 

 N. C, where a son of Antoine Wintzer, 

 of Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove, 

 Pa., recently leased four acres of land. 



N. T. NiELSON, of Sparks, Nev., who 

 at present has two acres devoted to the 

 raising of fruit and ornamental trees, 

 is negotiating for the purchase of more 

 land, with a view to making his nursery 

 the largest in the state. 



The "corn special" has become a 

 regular thing on the railroads of the 

 prairie states, but it remained for the 

 Spokane & Inland Railway, operating in 

 the state of Washington, to put out a 

 fruit train to teach the farmers how to 

 grow winter apples. 



The Chicago nurserymen, represented 

 by B. E. Gage and Carl Cropp, are ar- 

 ranging for the reception of members of 

 the trade passing through Chicago June 

 9 en route to the annual convention of 

 the American Association of Nursery- 

 men at Milwaukee June 10 to 12. 



G. L. Taber, proprietor of the Glen 

 St. Mary Nurseries, Glen St. Mary, Fla., 

 arrived at New York on the last Clyde 

 line steamer from Jacksonville. He was 

 accompanied by his family and will 

 spend the summer at the eastern resorts. 

 He reports an excellent season, but cut 

 short by warm weather at an earlier date 

 than usual. 



At the last session of the Mississippi 

 legislature a nursery inspection law was 

 passed, similar in its provisions to those 

 of other southern states. Prof. Glenn 

 W. Herrick, the state entomologist, is 

 making preparations for ,the enforce- 

 ment of the law. His first step will be 

 the inspection of every nursery in the 

 state and the interception of infested 

 stock from other states; then he will 

 take up the cleaning up of the orchards. 



SHRUB JOTTINGS. 



Prunus maritima, better known as the 

 beach plum, was a snowy mass of flow- 

 ers in Massachusetts May 16. This shrub 

 is somewhat decumbent in habit, carries 

 a good many spines and the branches 

 are warty. It is found naturally from 

 New Brunswick and the Great Lakes to 

 Virginia. The leaves, which are dark 

 green in summer, take on pleasing yellow 

 and orange tints in the fall. The pur- 

 plish-colored fruits, which are covered 

 with a delicate bloom, have a good flavor 

 and make excellent preserves. For sea- 

 shore planting and bleak locations this 

 is one of the best shrubs to grow. It is

also effective in groups or dotted along 

 the edge of woodlands. 



Prunus pumila, the sand cherry, is a 

 native of the United States, growing 

 from Maine and Manitoba south to Vir- 

 ginia. The foliage, which is green 

 above, is whitened beneath and in fall is 

 attractive with tints of yellow and red. 

 The numerous clusters of white flowers 

 and dark purple fruit are also prime at- 

 tractions. For naturalizing purposes 

 this is a useful shrub. At present a 

 watchful eye is necessary, as tent cater- 

 pillars have a special fondness for this 

 and one or two allied species. 



Syringa oblata, with flowers open in 

 New England May 6, is the earliest of 

 the lilacs to bloom. All the varieties of 

 this beautiful family are carrying an un- 

 usual wealth of bloom this season. S. 

 oblata 's chief merit is its early bloom- 

 ing. The panicles lack the size and 

 brilliant colors of the later varieties, 

 being of a light mauve color. The foliage 

 is handsome in fall. While the majority 

 of the lilacs hold their green color until 

 frost removes them, S. oblata 's leaves 

 take on a beautiful deep red hue.
