John H. Dayton, secretary of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O., 

 was nominated for congress by the Pro- 

 hibitionists of the twentieth district at a 

 convention held at Cleveland Septem- 

 ber 29. 



THEjpeoiay season made a better rec- 

 ord t^an many expected; the popularity 

 of the flower does not appear to be in 

 the least bit impaired and the "boom" 

 has not burst, for fall shipments have 

 been large, total sales probably as great 

 as in any preceding year. 



The EUwanger will case at Bochester 

 has not yet been settled, after a long le- 

 gal battle. A date has now been set for 

 hearing of the protest made by heirs of 

 George EUwanger -against the issuance 

 of letters testamentary on the will of the 

 dead nurseryman to his son, William D. 

 EUwanger. 



EVERGREENS FOR VASES. 



Kindly state what kind of hardy ever- 

 green plants would be suited to fill in 

 large vases during the winter months in 

 Ohio. C. L. R. 



For keeping outdoors the following are 

 suitable varieties for your climate: Ee- 

 tinospora plumosa, R. plumosa aurea, R. 

 pisifera and* R. squarrosa Veitchii; 

 Thuya occidentalis, Arbor-vitse; Tsuga 

 Canadensis, hemlock ; Picea alba, white 

 spruce; Picea excelsa, Norway spruce; 

 Juniperus Virginiana, red cedar; Abies 

 balsamea, balsam fir. For use indoors 

 the bay trees and box, Buxus arborescens, . 

 will be found good. The retinosporas 

 will probably suit you as well as any- 

 thing for vases of moderate size. Any 

 of the trees and shrubs named will do 

 indoors and will last better if not sub- 

 jected to much fire heat.

TROUBLE WITH CEDRUS DEODARA 



Under separate cover I am sending 

 some branches of Cedrus Deodara. The 

 tree from which they are taken is fifty 

 feet tall and about twenty-five feet in 

 spread, and is planted in a circular bed 

 about six feet in diameter, with a ce- 

 ment walk five feet wide surrounding the 

 bed. This walk at present is completely 

 covered by the branches of the cedar. 

 Three months ago, on finding that water 

 settled and became stagnant, a breeding 

 place for mosquitoes, a slight trench one 

 and one-half to two inches wide was 

 made on the edge of the bed to allow 

 the surplus water to run oflF into the 

 ground. Since that time the branches 

 have started to turn yellow and then to 

 die completely. Immense branches have 

 had to be cut out, marring a beautiful 

 specimen. Is it some disease, or lack of 

 moisture? W. W. C. 



The shoots sent are entirely dead, and 

 if many of the branches of the tree are 

 in the same way, its condition must be 

 indeed desperate. We do not see what 

 special difference the running off of the

surface water should have made to the 

 tree; more probably the 5-foot cement 

 walk surrounding it is the cause of the 

 trouble. This naturally keeps the water 

 from a large section of what ought to 

 be the best rooting surface. Unless your 

 customer has some special reason for re- 

 taining this walk, we would advise break- 

 ing it up, cleaning away all the cement 

 and stone and replacing with good loam. 

 No doubt the tree is being starved and 

 this additional source of food supply 

 will stimulate it, if it is not too far 

 gone. C. W.
