or shade. Where an immediate block of 

 deciduous shrubs is wanted, nothing ia 

 more suitable than this viburnum, and it 

 ia one of our most useful native plants. 

 Some people may object to it as being 

 common, but the glossy green foliage, 

 curiously dentated, the numerous heads 

 of i)ure white flowers in late June, and 

 the crimson berries, which turn a pretty 

 blu( color in fall, are each and all at- 

 triic tive. This viburnum makes rapid 

 grc -^th, moves capitally either in spring 

 or :'all, and is one of the most useful of 

 the genus. 



Viburnum Totnentotum. 



^Vhile Viburnum plicatum is usually 

 looked upon as the most beautiful of the 

 vil nrnums, we personally prefer the 

 siT.i,'le or fertile form of it, V. plicatum 

 xiv\ tomentosum. It is decidedly more 

 picturesque than V. plicatum. It is a 

 stronger grower, and when not crowded, 

 but allowed to show itself, many people 

 would prefer it to V. plicatum. The 

 leaves are dark, felty, and flatter than 

 those of V. plicatum. The flowers are 

 produced on flat racemes very abun- 

 dantly, later than those of V. plicatum. 

 It is unfortunate that neither V. tomento- 

 sum nor V. plicatum will come through a 

 severe northern winter unscathed, unless 

 protected. Many fine plants were practi- 

 cally cut to the ground after the severe 

 winter of 1903 and 1904, and those hav- 

 ing good plants will do well to give them 

 the protection of some evergreen boughs. 

 This viburnum moves badly in fall, and 

 any planting should always be done in 

 spring. W. N. C. 



BEATRICE, NEB. 



Florists and nurserymen took a prom- 

 inent part in the annual summer meet- 

 ing of the Nebraska State Horticultural 

 Society, held here July 21 and 22. The 

 sessions were held in the reception hall 

 of the new Burwood hotel, which was 

 tastefully decorated with palms, ferns, 

 fruit and flowers. In addition there 

 was a creditable display of ornamental 

 shrubbery, gladioli, perennial blooms and 

 fruit. Ed Williams, of Grand Island, 

 read an especially good paper on "Per- 

 ennials. " A. D. McCandless, of Wy- 

 niore, read a good paper on "Parks in 

 Villages and Small Towns," and C. S. 

 Harrison, of York, held the interest of 

 all with his discourse on "The Ever- 

 green. ' ' 



The second morning of the meeting 

 was spent in automobile rides about town 

 and to the German Nurseries and the 

 ^neenhouses of the Dole Floral Co., fol- 

 lowing which the members were the 

 jjiiiBsts of Charles and F. Sunderegger and 

 ^- W. and W. A. Dole, local florists 

 'ind nurserymen, for dinner at the Bur- 

 wood. At the afternoon session the di- 

 '" tors' reports were given and there 

 '•V re interesting papers — Supt. E. C. 

 ^> -hop, of Lincoln, on "Horticulture in 

 ^ ' !• Public Schools," and by V. V. West- 

 i: 0, also of Lincoln, on "Roses for Out- 

 '< >r Planting."

Business is fair, considering we have 

 entered upon the dull season. Home 

 grown roses and carnations are of poor 

 quality, but good ones are being shipped 

 'in. Lilium auratum and LiUum speeio- 

 sum are used much for decorating. Sweet 

 peas are good and are in great demand.
