 fifth annual meeting, Denver, June, 1910. 



There are 288 nurseries in the State 

 of Texas. 



J. W. Adams & Co., Springfield, Mass., 

 look forward to a fine business on Clem- 

 atis paniculata this spring. 



Chas. N. Lowrie, of New York, has 

 been elected president of the American 

 Society of Landscape Architects. 



The XJ. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has issued a bulletin by Wm. L. Bray, 

 entitled "The Mistletoe Pest in the 

 Southwest. ' ' 



If business keeps on increasing as fast 

 as it has since January 1, the middle of 

 March will find a lot of nurserymen 

 where they will be ready to quit taking 

 orders. 



The State of Texas now proposes to 

 apply its nursery inspection and license 

 law to any outside florist who has an 

 order to ship twenty-five geranium cut- 

 tings into that commonwealth. 



Why not move up the retail prices of 

 nursery stock just a bit, in order to 

 keep on a footing with other commodi- 

 ties? Besides, with a little more money 

 for his product, the nurseryman can af- 

 ford to give a better article. 



At the recent meeting of the Tennes- 

 see Nurserymen's Association, held at 

 Nashville, the following officers were 

 elected: President, A. I. Smith, Knox- 

 ville; vice-president, J. M. Miller, Win- 

 chester; secretary and treasurer, G. M. 

 Bentley, Knoxville. The following com- 

 mittee on legislation was appointed : Col. 

 John Thompson, Prof. H. M. Morgan, 

 Prof. G. M. Bentley, Percy Brown, Geo. 

 E. Parks, J. L. Jones and J. C. Hall. 



VIST ARIA AND MAGNOLIAS. 



Please tell me what kind of roots to 

 use for grafting white and blue wistarias 

 and Magnolia Soulangeana. C. W. K. 



Graft wistarias on portions of their 

 own roots. They can also be propagated 

 quite easily by layering. Magnolia 

 Soulangeana should be worked on seed- 

 lings two years old and grown along in 

 pots of M. acuminata or M. tripetala. A 

 greenhouse is the best place for the suc- 

 cessful carrying out of this method of 

 progagation and either cleft or tongue 

 grafting can be done. 0. 



ENGLISH IVY IN SHADE. 



Will you tell me if the English ivy, so 

 commonly used in Kew gardens under 

 trees where the shade is too dense for 

 grass of any kind to grow, has been 

 found satisfactory when used for this 

 purpose in America? If this is not satis- 

 factory, kindly suggest something that 

 would be, as I am desirous of covering 

 some ground under trees in Pennsylvania 

 where grass will not grow with something 

 green the whole year around. J. B. 



English ivy, while it grows fairly well 

 under shady conditions, requires winter 

 covering, or the leaves become badly 

 scorched. For this reason it is hardly a

desirable plant in our northern states for 

 growing under trees. 



The most satisfactory evergreen plant, 

 one which winter never kills and is of a 

 uniformly deep green color, which grows 

 quickly and forms a close carpet even 

 under trees, is Vinca minor, commonly 

 called periwinkle and creeping myrtle. 

 Even in poor, gravelly soil this vinca will 

 grow surprisingly well. It is best planted 

 in early spring, but can be set out during 

 any moist, cloudy spell during the sum- 

 mer. Propagation is easy, either by di- 

 vision of the roots or from cuttings. 

 While the plant produces its blue flowers 

 freely, it bears few seeds. You vidll find 

 this plant much superior in your latitude 

 to the English ivy for the purpose named.
