fine Jonathan apples on their Boswell 

 ranch this year, as well as thirty other 

 varieties, and last year they took over 

 $1,200 worth of apples off seven acres 

 of orchard. They have 40,000 apple 

 trees in their nurseries this year, be- 

 sides other varieties of fruit and orna- 

 mental trees. 



Mr. Hawkes is pleasantly remembered 

 in Springfield and at South Hadley 

 Falls, where he was pastor of the Con- 

 gregational church for some years in 

 the '808. Before moving to Springfield 

 he was superintendent of the Congrega- 

 tional home missions in Utah and Idaho. 

 Returning to Idaho, he formed the cor- 

 poration above referred to, and with his 

 three sons evidently has a good working 

 organization.

able extent, most of the catalogue houses 

 depending op the imported stock, al- 

 though home-grown stock is better, aa 

 several of the large New York firms 

 grow the plants from cuttings. These 

 are usually made in May and June from 

 the young wood. The cuttings taken 

 from plants started in greenhouses root 

 more readily than those taken from out- 

 door. 



In taking a glance through a number 

 of catalogues, it is noticed that the Eu- 

 ropeans are far ahead of us in the num- 

 ber of varieties and classes listed, some 

 of the leading firms listing as many as 

 fifty to eighty or more varieties, while 

 our American firms are satisfied with 

 from six to twelve. Is it because we 

 are less enterprising? 



Not'having followed this lihe of plaints 

 continuously, I should like to leave other 

 details to experts in this field. But there 

 is no reason why the same advance which 

 has been made in roses, carnations, 

 gladioli and cannas may not also be 

 made in the clematis family, and we 

 hope that some of our American hybrid-

izers will take advantage of the oppor- 

 tunity here offered, as there is unlimited 

 room for the development of this most 

 useful and ornamental family of climb- 

 ers. 



Lonicera* 



Thelonicera family of hardy climbers 

 is very popular, few plants emitting a 

 more delightful fragrance than some of 

 the varieties in tbis class. "As sweet as 

 a honeysuckle" is an old-time expression. 



Some of the newer varieties, notably 

 Heckrotti and Hendersoni, are especially 

 adapted for pot culture and easily 

 forced. In the open field they produce 

 continuous blooms from June to Novem- 

 ber. At this writing the young plants 

 in the field are a mass of bloom, and a 

 bouquet of their graceful sprays is al- 

 ways pleasing and is a delightful 

 change at this season. 



All the varieties of honeysuckle are of 

 easiest propagation. Heckrotti and Hen- 

 dersoni, and the varieties generally cat- 

 alogued as red and yellow coral, and all 

 European varieties, I prefer to propa- 

 gate from hard wood under glass. The 

 cuttings are planted on an open bench 

 in a cool greenhouse in January. One 

 I eye cuttings are used when the joints

are long. In spring they are planted 

 in the field; potting is not necessary. 

 During an average season they grow 

 from two to four feet or more and bloom 

 freely in a few months after they are 

 planted. 



All varieties of honeysuckle also root 

 freely from green wood cuttings, made 

 during the summer, in June and July, 

 from young, growing wood, and we grow 

 nearly all varieties in that manner. We 

 plant the cuttings on open benches in
