STYRAX JAPONICA. 



The two or three species of styrax in 

 general cultivation are all ornamental 

 plants and worthy of inclusion in most 

 collections. S. Japonica forms a large, 

 spreading shrub fifteen to twenty feet 

 high eventually, but is more frequently 

 met with about half that height. The 

 leaves are small and ovate, with serrate 

 margins; the flowers white, in axillary, 

 pendulous racemes. The racemes are 

 loose in appearance and composed of 

 about half a dozen flowers each. As they 

 are borne freely, a good-sized bush cov- 

 ered with flowers presents an attractive 

 appearance. Such specimens are occa- 

 sionally met -with. An exceptionally fine 

 one has long been famous in Veitch's 

 Nursery at Coombe Wood, near London, 

 England, while, according to the Gar- 

 deners' Magazine, there is another spe- 

 cially nice example, sixteen to eighteen 

 feet high, in Lord Clinton's garden at 

 Stevenstone, N. Devon. Like the other 

 styraxes, this is impatient of root dis- 

 turbance, and the transplanting of a 

 large example must be done with great 

 care. When first planting it a position 

 should be selected which is likely to be a 

 permanent one, and the plant should, if 

 possible, be planted from a pot. Though 

 it thrives in loamy soil, it appreciates a 

 little peat, and it is a good plan to place 

 a little about the roots at the time of 

 planting. Although originally described 

 as a Japanese plant, it is found in China 

 also. 



Norfolk, Va. — Ernest J. Newton and 

 Miss Marian Stone were married in Trin- 

 ity Church, Boston, July 19. Mr. New- 

 ton is head of the Norfolk Floral Gar- 

 dens. 



MiLFORD, lA.— H. N. Antisdel, propri- 

 etor of the Milford Nurseries, is about? 

 to erect a residence and three green- 

 houses on his property, near the Mil- 

 waukee station. The greenhouses are to 

 be 16x40. A hot water heating plant 

 will provide for the residence as well as 

 the greenhouses. 



Helena, Mont. — The seedlings which 

 were set out last spring at the Muskrat 

 Nursery, near Boulder, in the Helena 

 forest reserve, are doing finely. No ac- 

 tion will be taken by the forestry offi- 

 cials toward the reforestation of Mount 

 Helena until Local grown seedlings are 

 secured, it having been found that seed- 

 lings from outside the state do not 

 thrive in Montana.
