The Stark brothers, of Louisiana, Mo., 

 are the third generation of Starks in the 

 nursery business. 



The Genesee Valley Nurseries, of 

 Rochester, N. Y., has been incorporated, 

 with a capital stock of $10,000. 



The consensus of opinion is that the 

 nursery trade is starting in upon its best 

 year. In almost all parts of the -country 

 the demand is strong and such surpluses 

 as there are appear to be merely local, 

 while there are very general shortages. 



CONNECTICUT NURSERYMEN. 



At the annual meeting of the Con- 

 necticut Nurserymen's Association, held 

 in Hartford February 1, the following 

 officers were elected: President, C. R. 

 Burr, Manchester; vice-president, C. W. 

 Atwater, Collinsville ; treasurer, W. W. 

 Hunt, Hartford; secretary, J. Vidbourne, 

 Hartford. 



LIRIODENDRON CHINENSE. 



One of the most stately and interesting 

 trees native of North America is the 

 tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipfera). It 

 is said to be the sole remnant on this 

 continent of a genus which at an earlier 

 epoch was abundantly represented not 

 only in North America, but Europe as 

 well. Another tulip tree occurs in China, 

 of which a specimen probably as fine 

 as any to be seen in Europe is growing 

 in the collection of Kew Gardens, Lon- 

 don. At first thought to be merely a 

 geographical form of the North Ameri- 

 can species, the Chinese tree has since, 

 by both Sargent and Hemsley, been con- 

 sidered distinct enough to rank as a 

 species. The flowers are not so large, 

 the petals are narrower and the fruit is 

 more elongated. The tree in its native 

 habitat is usually from fifteen to twenty 

 feet high. The Kew specimen at eight 

 years old is ten feet high, and the leading 

 growth made during the past summer was 

 four feet in length. The most striking 

 characteristic of the tree at its present 

 stage is its magnificent foliage. A leaf 

 was measured, the blade of which was 

 thirteen inches long and ten inches broad. 

 It is probable, however, that as the tree 

 grows older the foliage \Vill be reduced 

 in size, and approximate to that of the 

 American species. Although this Chinese 

 tree is not likely in any way to displace 

 the older liriodendron in the esteem of 

 arboriculturists, it will make an interest- 

 ing addition to a group of trees of sin- 

 gular charm and distinction.
