.'^There promises to be an exceptionally 

 good demand for dormant roses this 

 spring. 



The nursery of Arthur Bryant & Son, 

 Princeton, 111., is now in its sixty-fifth 

 year. 



Those Indiana fellows insist that any- 

 one who wants cherry can be nicely ac- 

 commodated. 



The European nurserymen are figuring 

 that their American trade for 1910 will 

 make a new record. 



Plums are possibly the only class of 

 nursery stock that won't clean up at 

 good prices this spring. 



Have prices on the general line of nur- 

 «ery stock advanced in proportion to the 

 increase in the cost of production! 



At the annual meeting of the Georgia 

 State Horticultural Society, held at 

 Sparta January 25 to 28, P. J. Berck- 

 ■mans was again reelected president. 



The privet specialists are looking for- 

 ward to a heavy spring business, partly 

 because a large quantity of privet hedge 

 has been winter-killed this season. 



F. W. Watson, Topeka, Kan., esti- 

 :mates that anywhere from twenty to 

 forty million apple seedlings are re- 

 quired in this country each year, but 

 they are grown by less than a dozen 

 firms. 



The Virginia "Wholesale Nurseries have 

 been incorporated at Blacksburg, Va., 

 with the following officers: President, J. 

 H. Broce; secretary and treasurer, M. F. 

 Slusser. W. O. Frith is one of the incor- 

 porators. Capital: Maximum, $50,000; 

 minimum, $3,000. 



To hear the law-makers tell it, they 

 and their enactments alone stand be- 

 tween this country and the demnition 

 bow-wows. But from the nurseryman's 

 standpoint this is no longer the land of 

 the free — we haven't anything on any- 

 body when it comes to that. We've too 

 many laws. 



5HRUBS FOR FRONT OF VERANDA 



Can you inform me as to what shrubs 

 could be used in front of a veranda, 

 giving a sloping effect, the back row to 

 be about three and a half to four feet 

 high and two varieties to be used in 

 single rows? They do not necessarily 

 have to be blooming shrubs, but some- 

 thing that will give a neat, attractive 

 appearance throughout the summer. The 

 house is a frame dwelling, facing the 

 west and white in color. It is located 

 in the city. \ R. H. M. 



You do not state whether you wish 

 evergreen or deciduous shrubs. If the 

 former, I would suggest using Betin- 

 ospora plumosa and R. plumosa aurea. 

 You could get one variety somewhat 

 taller than the other. Personally, I would 

 prefer using one variety only, in which 

 case the green one would be my choice. 

 If you desire a deciduous shrub, there is 

 nothing better than Berberis Thunbergii, 

 thoroughly hardy and beautiful both in

HYDRANGEA OTAKSA, 



Can you tell me the best way to grow 

 Hydrangea Otaksa plants with from ten 

 to twenty flowers, from cuttings? 



C. M. 



To secure plants carrying the number 

 of heads desired, root the cuttings as 

 soon as possible. These can either be 

 grown along in pots all summer or 

 planted outdoors in May, where they can 

 be well cultivated and watered during 

 dry weather. If kept in pots, they 

 should be plunged in a bed of ashes. 

 The plants should occupy 6-inch to 7-inch 

 pots before fall, while the outdoor ones 

 should be lifted with a nice ball early in 

 October and placed in somewhat similar 

 sized pots. These plants should carry 

 all the way from three or four to six or 

 eight heads each the following season, 

 but will hot give the size of plants you 

 desire until the following year. 



After flowering, plant them outdoors 

 again. Do any needful pruning before 

 so doing, to make them shapely. In fall 

 these can be put in 10-inch to 12-inch 

 pots, or small tubs, and will the follow- 

 ing season carry the desired number of

heads. If you are anxious to get plant 

 carrying ten to twenty heads next year 

 you can do so by following a plan ofte: 

 adopted, viz.: Place the plants in smal 

 tubs, two or three plants in each tub 

 Each of these plants should give four or 

 five heads if well grown. 



Remember that you must propagati^ 

 early to secure these strong plants, at all 

 times treat them liberally with water 

 and, when in pots, feed in addition witb 

 liquid manure. C. W.
