 merce building. Efforts are being made 

 to secure a large attendance, and the

OEDEUS ATLANTIOA. 



Cedrus Atlantica is not often seen in 

 this country save on the Pacific coast, 

 where it grows splendidly. It is, how- 

 ever, fairly hardy and can be grown in 

 a sheltered position as far north as 



New York. It is one of the finest ever- 

 greens, of vigorous growth, pyramidal 

 in form, and has dense, light silvery 

 foliage. In its native territory, the 

 Atlas mountains of Algeria, it reaches 

 a great height, occasionally attaining 

 120 feet. The specimen shown in the 

 illustration on this page is an example 

 of its fine form on the Pacific coast. 



More commonly seen is C. Atlantica 

 glauca, sometimes called the blue At- 

 lantic cedar, from the steel-blue color 

 of its leaves, not far from that of the 

 Colorado blue spruce. This is grown in 

 many parts of the country and is con- 

 sidered one of the most beautiful of the 

 cedars. The Himalaya or Indian cedar, 

 C. Deodara, is grown in California and 



Cedrus Atlantica, or Mt. Atlas Cedar. 



in some places in the south, but the 

 Lebanon cedar, C. Libani, is not so 

 common. 



DEirVEEY OF NUESEEY STOC?K. 



Under a contract to sell a shipment 

 of peach trees and to "forw.ard" them 

 November 20, or within twenty days 

 thereafter, the selling nursery company 

 is held by the Alabama Supreme Court, 

 in the recent case of Copeland vs. Union 

 Nursery Co., 65 Southern Reporter 834, 

 to have been required to make delivery 

 within a reasonable time after the twen- 

 ty days had expired. And the court fur- 

 ther holds that, in order to recover 

 the price, on the buyer refusing to re- 

 ceive the shipment, the company was 

 bound to show delivery within a rea- 

 sonable time, without reference to 

 whether any delay resulted in injury 

 to the buyer or not. Parts of the Su- 

 preme Court's opinion read as follows: 

 . "The writing set forth in the fifth 

 count (plaintiff's complaint) shows an 

 obligation assumed by the plaintiff (the 

 nursery company) to 'forward' — mean- 

 ing to send or ship — the trees 'Novem- 

 ber 20, 1911, or within twenty days 

 thereafter,' at Cordova, Ala. There is
