Apple orcharding as a commercial 

 proposition is receiving greatly increased 

 attention in New England and New York 

 state. Baldwin is the variety most fre- 

 quently planted. 



The M. J. Wragg Nursery Co., of Des 

 Moines, la., has purchased forty acres 

 of land four and a half miles north of 

 that city, for $12,000. It is said that 

 the land will be used principally for the 

 growing of fruit. 



John T. Withers, the "tree doctor," 

 has formed a corporation at Jersey City, 

 N. J., with a capital of $25,000, for the 

 purpose of carrying on business as land- 

 scape architects, gardeners, etc. His 

 associates in the enterprise are E. 

 Withers and J. F. Marion. 



Articles of association have been filed 

 in the oflSce of the county clerk of Al- 

 cona county, Michigan, by two allied cor- 

 porations, for the purpose of conducting 

 a nursery and other business in that 

 county. One of the allied concerns is the 

 Evergreen Tree Co., incorporated by 

 William Eaton, Albert Shain, E. J. Ken- 

 dall and J. S. Ferguson, with a capital of 

 $80,000. The other is the Michigan Land 

 & Title Co., incorporated by Albert 

 Shain, J. C. Merrell and G. S. Ferguson, 

 with a capital of $150,000. 



AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY. 



The 1910 meeting of the American 

 Peony Society will be held June next, at 

 Horticultural hall, Boston, Mass. The 

 exhibition will be held in connection with 

 the regular peony show of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society. The exact 

 date will be announced later.

PROPAGATING PRIVET. 



Can California privet be propagated 

 in California by making cuttings of hard 

 wood about two or three inches long next 

 January or February and planting them 

 about two inches apart each way in soil 

 in flats? A. N. 



This privet may be propagated either 

 by soft-wood cuttings in summer in a 

 frame or greenhouse, or by hard-wood 

 cuttings. The usual plan adopted when 

 hard-wood cuttings are used is to cut 

 them off in late fall. Strip off all leaves, 

 tie in bundles and bury over winter, 

 planting them out in nursery rows as 

 soon as the soil can be worked in early 

 spring. 



You should have no trouble in rooting 

 them in flats, as spoken of, in sandy loam 

 in a cool house, or a coldframe would 

 answer fully as well in your latitude. 

 We would suggest making the cuttings 

 about six inches long, however. One 

 advantage of planting them out directly 

 into nursery rows is that there is less 

 labor attached to this method of propa- 

 gation, and the cuttings, if set four to 

 five inches apart, can be left to grow into 

 salable plants. Leave the rows two and 

 one-half to three feet apart, to allow of 

 horse cultivation. C.
