NATHAN Moore, for a long time en- 

 gaged in the nursery business at Sidney, 

 O., celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday 

 anniversary February 1. 



After heavy faUs of wet snow it will 

 pay to go through the evergreens and 

 give a shake to any badly weighted 

 down. The pines suffer badly from these 

 storms, but even the Norway and other 

 spruces will suffer. 



The present is an opportune time to 

 look over lilacs and other shrubs for 

 oyster shell or scurfy scale. When any 

 is discovered, wash with strong whale- 

 oil soap. "Where the pests are very 

 thick, use a brush and lather on the 

 soap freely. 



The planting of apple orchards is only 

 at a beginning, but nurserymen should 

 urge their customers to plant only the 

 best varieties and to grow and pack them 

 well, else the Pacific northwest, where 

 they pay attention to the details which 

 give uniform high quality, will get a 

 long lead over the apple sections else- 

 where. 



Large evergreens, especially spruce, 

 can be moved in the winter with safety 

 if, before the ground freezes too hard, a 

 trench is dug around the ball intended 

 to accompany the tree. .Then, when the 

 ground freezes hard, there will not be 

 any trouble in getting the tree and ball 

 undermined, the plains, rollers, etc., in 

 place, and the tree in motion and on the 

 road to its new destination. After plant- 

 ing, it will be well to cover the ball, and 

 the ground out from it for a foot or 

 more, with leaves or coarse manure. 



It is all very well to say that anybody 

 can prune a gooseberry bush, but the fact 

 is that anybody cannot. In pruning 

 gooseberry bushes, last year's growth on 

 wood that fruited last year should be 

 cut back to one or two eyes. Enough 

 young, straight shoots should be allowed 

 to remain, distributed over the bush so 

 as to insure a continuation of vigorous 

 material for future bearing, but the tips 

 of the shoots should be cut off. The 

 flowering buds of gooseberries are on last 

 season's growth as well as on older wood, 

 but as the wood gets old it becomes less 

 fruitful; hence the necessity of keeping 

 up young growth.

It is reported that the Park Bois de 

 Boulogne cost the city of Paris last year 

 $142,000 for maintenance, but in the same 

 time produced a revenue of $154,950 

 from concessions. It is possibly the only 

 park in the world that is self-supporting. 

 The Bois is kept in almost perfect con- 

 dition. All Paris drinks tea in its pavil- 

 ions in summer. 



Years ago some people despised the 

 hemlock when in search of evergreens for 

 private grounds. There is a different dis- 

 position on the part of the great ma- 

 jority nowadays, and this cannot be bet- 

 ter evidenced than by noticing the large 

 numbers seen growing in various parts of 

 the country where they have been re- 

 cently planted. Nurserymen also are 

 noting the increase in the demand for 

 hemlock with satisfaction, not because it 

 is more profitable than many other ever- 

 greens, but because it invariably gives 

 more satisfaction. 



The Irish yews, golden arbor-vitse, 

 and a few of the retinosporas are espe- 

 cially liable to be winter-killed. One 

 may wonder to see these subjects show 

 sudden signs of collapse, not in mid- 

 winter, but well on towards spring and 

 sometimes in early summer. Among the 

 various causes of this, one of the most 

 common is th6 too early and complete 

 removal of the winter protection. If 

 shading or protection has been used, the 

 removal should be gradual and not too 

 soon. Retinospora squarrosa is often 

 scorched in early spring.

The forest area of the United States 

 is estimated at 550,000,000 acres, about 

 one-fourth being government reserva- 

 tions. It is estimated that the annual 

 amount taken from forests, including 

 waste in logging, is 23,000,000,000 cubic 

 feet, or thrice the annual production. We 

 use annually 100,000,000 cords of fire- 

 wood; 40,000,000,000 feet of lumber; 

 1,000,000,000 posts, poles and fence rails; 

 118,000,000 hewn ties; 1,500,000,000 

 staves; 133,000,000 sets of heading; 500,- 

 000,000 barrel hoops; 3,000,000 cords of 

 native pulp wood; 165,000,000 cubic feet 

 of round mine timbers, and 1,250,000 

 cords for distillation. It is estimated 

 that an average of 50,000,000 acres ia 

 burned annually, entailing a loss of $50,- 

 000,000.
