 middle of August somewhat improved the 

 situation, but in general the growing 

 season has been less favorable than any 

 which has occurred during the last sev- 

 eral years. 



PETERSON IS KNIGHTED. 



The king of Sweden has created Will- 

 iam A. Peterson a knight of the Order of 

 Vasa, in recognition of his high stand- 

 ing among the Swedish people of Amer- 

 ica. The decoration was presented to 

 Mr. Peterson September 10 by the Swed- 

 ish consul at Chicago. Mr. Peterson is 

 the proprietor of the Peterson Nursery, 

 a director in the State Bank of Chicago, 

 a trustee of Beloit College and of Mc- 

 Cormick Theological Seminary. He i« 

 42 years of age and was bom on the 

 nursery grounds where he now makes his 

 home and where his father located in 

 1855. Ever since attaining manhood he 

 has been identified with the religious and 

 other uplift organizations of the city, 

 and has rendered invaluable service for 

 the community. It was said of the late 

 P. S. Peterson that he was the richest 

 Scandinavian in America, and the Swedes 

 of Chicago looked to him for leadership. 

 Mr. Peterson did much in the service of 

 his countrymen and since. his death his 

 place has been taken by his son. 



HARDINESS OF PRIVET. 



Will you kindly tell me whether privet 

 will stand winters in the southeastern 

 part of Kansas without protection? 

 About 10 to 14 degrees below zero is the 

 coldest temperature in the average sea- 

 son, and only for perhaps three or four 

 nights during the winter, but we have 

 hard winds and/ it is generally dry. 

 Should it be Djanted in the fall or 

 spring? ^ L. C. B. 



I would not advise you to plant the 

 California privet, Ligustrum ovalifolium. 

 It grows quickly and makes a pretty 

 hedge, but is the most tender of the 

 genus. I would recommend you to use 

 either L. Ibota (new Japanese privet), 

 or L. Begelianum. The former has large, 

 glossy, distinct foliage; the latter is an 

 excellent, dense, horizontal growing shrub. 

 Both these varieties will withstand your 

 climate much better than the California 

 privet, and either one will make an ex- 

 cellent hedge. Spring planting is to be 

 preferred to fall for all privets. C. W. 



KANSAS CITY. 



Rock WiU Build Park. 



A public garden of eighteen acres will 

 be laid out this fall and opened next 

 spring at Sixty-third street and Troost 

 avenue by William L. Kock. The plans 

 will be drawn by George E. Kessler. The 

 natural topography of the 18-acre park 

 is peculiarly suited for artistic treat- 

 ment. It has a 2-acre lake fed by a 

 brook. This will be crossed by rustic 

 bridges. The brook and lake will be 

 planted with aquatic plants and flowers. 

 The rest of the eighteen acres is to be
