seryman, is one of the directors, and 0. 

 D. Shields, Loveland, Colo., is a member 

 of the advisory board. 



David Hill, the nurseryman of Dun- 

 dee, 111., is building a greenhouse which 

 will be used principally for grafting pur- 

 poses. 



It looks as though there ought to be 

 privet enough in the nurseries of the 

 East to hedge every byway in the land, 

 but doubtless it will all find sale. 



Once upon a time a manufacturer 

 was complaining to another, apparently 

 more prosperous, that business was poor. 

 "The trouble with you is that you make 

 things of iron; they last too long; I 

 make soap.'* The day may come when 

 the perishable character of the nursery- 

 man's output will be the factor that will 

 insure the permanence of the business, 

 but just now a little higher quality and 

 longer life for tlie stock might not be a 

 bad thing for the business. 



CAT ALP AS FOR POSTS. 



W. F. Schell, the nurseryman at Wich- 

 ita, Kan., says this year promises to wit- 

 ness unprecedented activity in planting 

 Catalpa speciosa. These trees are being 

 grown in large numbers in southwest 

 Kansas for posts, railroad ties and vari- 

 ous other purposes for which forest trees 

 ai'e used. Mr. Schell says he has 1,000,- 

 000 catalpa seedlings in his nurseries at 

 Floral, in Cowley county, and anticipates 

 the demand will be greater than the sup- 

 ply. 



The forest tree industry is one of the 

 new projects in western Kansas. It is 

 beyond the experimental stages, however, 

 and is proving successful. The seedlings 

 are set six feet apart each way and culti- 

 vated like corn. In three years the trunk 

 of the tree is large enough for post tim- 

 ber. It is then cut down. Growths spring 

 up from the stump, but only one of these 

 is permitted to grow. In two years it is 

 large enough to cut. Growths spring 

 forth from the roots of the tree for an 

 indefinite period of years. The yield is 

 about 1,800 to 2,000 posts per acre, which 

 sell at from 10 to 15 cents each. 



PROPAGATING SHRUBBERY. 



Will you kindly give us some informa- 

 tion on how to propagate our own shrub- 

 bery, such as lilacs, snowballs, clematis, 

 etc., in the eastern part of the state of 

 Washington? R. G. 



The above query opens up quite a 

 chance for an extended article on propa- 

 gating hardy stock in the state of Wash- 

 ington. As a matter of fact, however, 

 but few of the largest dealers pretend to
