Officers for 1908- 9: Pres., Charles J. Brown, Ro- 

 chester, N. Y.; Vice-Pre8.,C. M. Hobbs, Bridge- 

 port, tod.; Sec'y, Geo. 0. Seager, Rochester, 

 N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Kocbeflter, N. Y. 

 The 34th annual convention will be held at Ro- 

 chester, June, 1909. 



A LARGE colony of fine summer homes 

 is being developed at Libertyville, 111., 

 a short dis|baHtfe^ f rem Chicago. Consid- 

 erable landscape work is already under 

 way, with much more in prospect. 



Efforts are being put forth to make 

 the meeting of the American Association 

 of Park Superintendents at Minneapolis 

 August 11 to 13 the best ever. The as- 

 sociation has not heretofore met west of 

 Buffalo. An elaborate program of enter- 

 tainment is being prepared. 



W. H. Wyman, proprietor of the 

 Bay State Nurseries, at North Abing- 

 ton, Mass., is clearing a tract of fifteen 

 acres of land. A gang of forty men, in 

 charge of H. B. Eussell, is employed 

 on the job. Mr. Wyman owns about 170 

 acres of land in the neighborhood. 



At this season the Peterson Nursery, 

 Chicago, sends out a man in an automo- 

 bile to inspect all the planting done dur- 

 ing the spring season. The inspector 

 makes a record of the facts in every case 

 and, where conditions are not right, not 

 only calls attention personally to the care 

 that is needed but later writes a letter to 

 the customer explaining what is necessary 

 to make the stock thrive. In this way 

 many complaints from neglectful people 

 are forestjdled and new business secured. 



Ehodotypos kebeioides, commonly 

 known as the white kerria, is a handsome 

 and distinct shrub, growing four to five 

 feet in height. The green, lustrous leaves 

 are oval and are in themselves attrac- 

 tive. The snow-white flowers were this 

 year fully expanded May 15. The berries 

 which follow the flowers remain on the 

 plants all winter. This shrub is by some 

 considered doubtfully hardy. In severe 

 winters it has killed back a little, but 

 no more than many other shrubs which 

 are classed as ironclad sorts. 



Hibiscus Syeiacus is quite hardy, but 

 not perfectly so north of New York. 

 There are many named varieties, single 

 and double, and of colors from purple to 

 lavender, and from deep pink to almost 

 pure white. It flowers from midsummer 

 to fall. It does not do well in dry soils 

 and should be mulched about the roots 

 in summer to prevent evaporation, and 

 also in the fall with well-rotted manure. 

 If the soil is poor, dig in the mulch 

 around the plant and then put more ma- 

 nure on top. 



Acer Negundo aureum Odessanum i8 

 one of the best. The growth of the plant 

 is satisfactory, and the bright golden yel- 

 low color of the foliage remains fresh- 

 looking the entire summer, properties 

 which, when this ash-leaved maple is 

 planted in suitable positions in park or 

 garden, make it particularly valuable in 

 giving light to the picture similarly to 

 the light parts of a painting, as will be 

 understood by every capable landscape 

 gardener, says a writer in the Horticul- 

 tural Trade Journal (England). In gen- 

 eral, plants having variegated foliage 

 should be sparingly employed if the re- 

 pose of a landscape is to be retained.

STATE OF THE MARKET. 



It is said hj Eochesterians who at- 

 tended the annual convention of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Nurserymen at Mil- 

 waukee, that there was more inquiry for 

 nursery stock and less for sale than in 

 many years. It was apparent that the 

 nursery firms of the country were hold- 

 ing their stock for sale on the market, 

 anticipating an enormous trade next fall 

 and spring. Discussions at the conven- 

 tion isclosed the fact that the increase 

 in demand for ornamental trees, shrubs, 

 shade trees and the like, is getting be- 

 yond the capacity of the nurserymen to 

 meet.
