Is there anyone in this country who 

 grows Manetti stocks in a commercial 

 way? 



California privet appears to be one 

 of the few items that are hanging fire 

 on nurserymen's hands. 



i*. J. Began, formerly in the nursery 

 business at Iowa City, la., has been ad- 

 judged a bankrupt. According to his 

 own estimate, his liabilities are $25,000 

 and his assets $18,000. 



The weather of last week about put 

 an end to the fall season in the nursery 

 business in the east. The conditions 

 this' autumn have been exceptionally fa- 

 vorable. Not in years has there been so 

 long a planting season. 



PICEA PUNGENS GLAUCA, 



• 



Picea pungens glauca is one of the 

 most popular of all evergreens, both here 

 and in Europe. It is a mistake to plant 

 a number of plants in a limited space, 

 as is too often done. One perfect speci- 

 men, as here illustrated, is far better 

 than a crowded group, none of which 

 have a chance to show their individuality.

 For this reason we see far too often on 

 public streets, as well as in parkways 

 and private estates, the distressing ef- 

 fects of overcrowding. If planters would 

 use fewer trees and provide for these 

 more liberally in the way of compost,

It is useless to plant the Colorado blue 

 spruce unless it has room to show itself,

BEEBERIS SILVER BEAUTY. 



Some weeks ago the Eevikw recorded 

 the fact that M. J. Van Leeuwen, man 

 ager of the Continental Nurseries, Frank 

 lin, Mass., had registered Berberis Thun- 

 bergii Silver Beauty virith the Society ot 

 American Florists, describing it as u 

 variegated form of the well-faiown Ber- 

 beris Thunbergii. Mr. Van Leeuwen vrrit'* 

 that "good news is ever welcome and ott 

 repeated, and thus travels fast. So tL^ 

 origination of a variegated berberry an.l 

 its subsequent registration, noticed ii 

 your columns, has already attracted th>^ 

 attention of many of the growers or 

 ornamental nursery stock, both in th.> 

 country and in Europe, resulting in • 

 demand for stock fax in excess of tl 

 present supply, with a number of oflfe- 

 to purchase the entire stock. It is t) ' 

 intention to exhibit Berberis Silvf ' 

 Beauty next summer, for which purpo? 

 a number of pot plants a,re beic; 

 grown. * '
