F. D. Geeen, of the L. Green Nursery 

 Co., Perry, O., is preparing to remove 

 to West Virginia, 



The Waverly Gardens Nursery Co. has 

 been incorporated at Mykawa, Tex., with 

 a capital stock of $10,000. The incorpo- 

 rators are Charles E. Smith, C. H. Car- 

 son and I. M. Taylor. 



The T. S. Hubbard Co., Fredonia, N. 

 Y., says that demand is so much greater 

 than supply in almost all leading varie- 

 ties of grape vines that they fear they 

 will be short for spring trade. 



The Northeastern Minnesota Horti- 

 cultural Society is trying to get some- 

 one to start a first-class nursery in St. 

 Louis county. J. Kimball, of Ozark 

 Ridge, Minn., is in charge of the under- 

 taking. 



Abthue E. Thatcher, who has been 

 foreman in the shrub and hardy plant de- 

 partment at Aldenham House, Elstree, 

 England, for nine years, has accepted 

 an oflfer from the Arnold Arboretum, 

 Boston. Upon the occasion of his leav- 

 ing Aldenham House, where he had been 

 for twenty-four years, he received many 

 testimonials of regard. 



HOLLY FROM SEED. 



Please give me directions as to grow- 

 ing holly from seeds. Should holly ber- 

 ries be washed and frozen! Can seed be 

 planted outdoors, or what is the quick- 

 est and best way to get seed to germi- 

 nate and grow? B. G. 



To have success with holly seeds, they 

 should be mixed now with damp soil in a 

 box, the box placed outdoors or in a cold 

 cellar and kept there until next autumn. 

 The seeds are then washed out and sown 

 in a bed outdoors and seedlings may be 

 looked for in the spring following. 



The seeds would not grow next spring 

 were they sown now.

BERBERIS THUNBERGIL 



There are few, if any, perfectly hardy 

 shrubs of so much value for outdoor orna- 

 mentation as Berberis Thunbergii. When 

 planted so as to form a hedge, it re- 

 mains all summer neat, compact and yet 

 luxuriant. Later, when the rigors of 

 winter strip almost everything else of its 

 beauty, Berberis Thunbergii seems only 

 to shed its leaves in order to give full 

 display to the many clusters of beautiful 

 berries with which it is adorned. This 

 plant not only looks well in hedged form, 

 but in groups it is exceedingly effective. 



The demand for it is constantly on the 

 increase. D. M. 



JAPANESE MAPLES. 



It takes a long time for a Japanese 

 maple, if small when planted, to make 

 much of an impression as a specimen 

 singly. Bearing that in mind, it will be 

 well when these charming trees are 

 planted, to plant them at first in groups

In nine cases out of ten the grouping

 preferable to promiscuous planting or
