Alleging misrepresentation in the 

 number of budded trees in two nurseries 

 he purchased, R. M. Teague has filed a 

 suit in the Superior Court at Los Angeles, 

 Cal., to recover $12,000 from W. G. 

 Hall. Mr. Teague says he bought the 

 Keim and the Yost nurseries, near Glen- 

 dora, Cal., from Mr. Hall, for $37,000, 

 and had paid $34,000 before he discov- 

 ered the alleged fraud. 



A MASSACHUSETTS NUBSEBT. 



The corporation known as the New 

 England Nurseries, of Bedford, Mass., 

 owns the property formerly operated by 

 the Shady Hill Nursery Co., a concern 

 whose business was once conducted at 

 Shady Hill, more recently the home of 

 the late Prof. Charles Eliot Norton and 

 the future home of Andover Theological 

 Seminary. The property in Bedford em- 

 braces nearly 200 acres of land, and the 

 company controls more than 600 acres in 

 Geneva, N. Y. Ihiring recent years the 

 company has made rapid strides toward 

 perfecting the plant in Bedford, but this 

 work is not yet done, for the near future 

 will see a new and larger oflSce and 

 shipping building, with a spur track 

 capable of holding t^plve can "at one 

 time — facilities which are fully needed 

 during the busier months of the year. 

 The nursery is located on the southern 

 division of the Boston & Maine railroad. 

 The main output is flowering shrubs, 

 hardy perennials, vines and evergreens, 

 and during the busy seasons from fifty 

 to seventy-five men are employed. An 

 independent water supply and electric 

 light plant located on the grounds add 

 to the facilities, as well as a building 

 for the construction of shipping cases, 

 where upward of 5,000 cases were made 

 last season. A landscape department 

 has been maintained for some time and 

 is increasing steadily in its relative im- 

 portance to the rest of the business.

the street and is heavily shaded with 

 large elm and maple trees. The soil, 

 which is a loam, seems entirely dead, 

 probably due to the large trees draw- 

 ing their nourishment from it. Can any- 

 thing in the way of low shrubbery be 

 encouraged to grow there with proper 

 soil preparation! If so, please suggest 

 the kind of shrubbery and the soil prep- 

 aration which would be most likely to 

 produce the best results. L. R. K. 



Conditions such as you describe are 

 not good for any variety of shrub. Elm 

 roots are particularly bad for impover- 

 ishing the ground. Even if you dig out 

 and prepare a bed, the chances are that 

 the elm roots will soon fill it. Still, if 

 your customer wants something planted 

 I would advise digging out the bed or 

 border to the depth of twenty-four 

 inches. Remove all stones or gravelly 

 subsoil, replace with good loam and mix 

 in a good coat of rotted manure. Assum- 

 ing that you do not want any tall 

 shrubs, the best one you can plant will 

 be Berberis Thunbergii, which succeeds 

 well under quite adverse conditions and 

 is beautiful winter and summer, while 

 no insects trouble it. C. W.
