 erated by the Oregon Nursery Co. at 

 Orenco, Ore., was recently visited by 100 

 members of the Portland Realty Board. 

 The visitors were taken over the grounds 

 in automobiles and were much imjtressed, 

 it is said, by the flourishing condition of 

 the five millions or so of fruit trees. 



TO KILL OUT POPLAR SHOOTS. 



Can you tell us how to kill poplar 

 roots in the ground, where they can- 

 not be dug out? We have dug out the 

 stumps and all the roots we could get 

 at, but they keep sprouting up all over 

 the lawn. A. G. S. C.

The most effectual method would, of 



taeuMnp i'bw Review when you wnte 



course, be to dig out the roots. As you 

 do not wish to disturb the lawn, the 

 next best plan will be to keep the 

 shoots cut down closely as they appear 

 above the ground. One season may not 

 entirely kill them, but it will jreatly 

 weaken them, and any growths appear- 

 ing a second season will be much more 

 feeble. Persistent cutting down is the 

 surest way eventually to kill out these 

 or any sprout growths from' trees or 

 shrubs. C. W.

CONNECTICUT NUESEEYMEN. 



The Connecticut Nurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation met again this year on the 

 grounds of the Elm City Nursery Co., 

 New Haven, Conn., July 26, for the an- 

 nual summer outing. The day was 

 ])erfect in every respect. The recent 

 rains made verdure everywhere fresh 

 and attractive. A special feature at the 

 nursery, which was a source of uni- 

 versal interest among the members, is 

 a collection of rare Japanese plants 

 which were personally selected by Mr. 

 Coe last winter in Japan. After jour- 

 neying through the nursery's fields and 

 comparing notes of mutual interest, the 

 members took autos to the west shore, 

 where they feasted. Later, after a short 

 business session, the members gave 

 themselves over generally to the attrac- 

 tions of the shore.
