Note there are more than two solid 

 pages of European advertisements in this 

 week's Review. 



John W. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., 

 whose fame as a nurseryman has spread 

 far beyond New England, was 80 years 

 of age June 20. He has spent just fifty 

 years in the nursery business. 



Peterson Nursery, Chicago, reports 

 the largest call for peonies it ever has 

 experienced.' Orders for quite a num- 

 ber of the best sorts already have 

 taken all the plants they care to sell 

 for September delivery. They say the 

 inquiry indicates that the holders of 

 good varieties do not need to consider 

 reducing prices, no matter what cuts are 

 made in prices of old sorts or untried 

 lots. 



INSPECTION IN OHIO. 



Under the Ohio nursery and orchard 

 inspection law every nurseryman or any 

 other person in the state engaged in 

 growing trees, shrubs, plants or vines for 

 sale, must, before July 1, file application 

 for the inspection of such stock with the 

 Ohio department of agriculture. The 

 disposal of uninspected stock, either by 

 sale or gift, renders the owner liable to 

 fine. These inspections are made by the 

 division of nursery and orchard inspec- 

 tion, and free of charge when applica- 

 tions are filed before July 1, with N. E, 

 Shaw, Ohio Department of Agriculture, 

 Columbus. 



SHRUB JOTTINGS. 



For naturalizing purposes, Ribes au- 

 reum, the Missouri currant, which is 

 found naturally from Missouri to the 

 Rocky mountains, is well worthy of a 

 place. It will g^row in extremely poor 

 ground, and where soil conditions are 

 of this character it will thrive sur- 

 prisingly well. The light, lustrous green 

 leaves are covered with yellowish dots 

 while young. The yellow flowers, which 

 are quite showy, are produced in clus- 

 ters in early spring, being open this 

 year, in the vicinity of Boston, the first 

 week in May. This shrub does espe- 

 cially well in shade. The brownish- 

 black colored fruit possesses a fair 

 flavor. 



Philadelphus Lemoinei, a hybrid vari- 

 ety of mock orange, is one of the most 

 showy, floriferous and beautiful shrubs 

 grown. It is specially well adapted for 

 small gardens on account of its moder- 

 ate growth, rarely exceeding four to six 

 feet in height. The pure white flow- 

 ers, carried on short racemes, literally 

 smother the branches. Plants of very 

 small size bloom profusely and these

would seem to be an excellent subject 

 here for winter forcing if the plants 

 were pot grown, like deutzias and lilacs. 



There are a number of excellent 

 named varieties of P. Lemoinei. Some 

 of the best are: Avalanche, of very 

 graceful habit; Manteau d'Hermine; P. 

 erectus; Mont Blanc, large and showy 

 pure white flowers in great profusion; 

 Boule d 'Argent, as its name signifies, a 

 veritable ball of silvery whiteness; and 

 P. speciosissimus. The flowers of these 

 hybrid philadelphus were this season at 

 their best June 8.
