The Elm City Nurserjj Co., New 

 Haven, Conn., has just let contracts for 

 a large addition to its packing shed facili- 

 ties and also storage cellars where bay 

 trees and other half hardy plants can be 

 stored through the winter. It also is ex- 

 tending the office space and adding to 

 the drafting room. 



STOBAQE OF NURSERY STOCK. 



[An extract from a paper by t,. C. Corbett, of 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture, at the request of the Committee 

 on Refrigeration for the International Congress 

 now being held at Vienna.] 



The modern commercial nursery han- 

 dles such an immense volume of stock, 

 . of such a varied nature, and possesses a 

 patronage scattered through so wide a 

 territory that in order to successfully 

 handle and pack the product and de- 

 liver it for spring planting, the old prac- 

 tice of heeling in the stock has been 

 abandoned, to give place to the modern 

 system of storing in retarding houses. 

 The season for handling the stock is so 

 short, because the plants start so quick- 

 ly in the spring, even when dug in the 

 fall and heeled in according to the old 

 practice, that it is practically impossi- 

 ble to operate extensive nurseries on 

 such a basis. Small nurseries and plant 

 gardens, designed to meet the require- 

 ments of local purchasers only, can be 

 successfully operated without retarding 

 buildings or the intervention of cold 

 storage. In extensive enterprises, how- 

 ever, where the sales lists reach thou- 

 sands of people, and where the distribu- 

 tion is made through a number of states 

 possessing a variety of soil and climatic 

 conditions, the distribution must extend 

 over a considerable period of time, a 

 period of time much greater than is al- 

 lowed by the normal behavior of the 

 plant; therefore artificial means must 

 be resorted to in order to hold the nur- 

 sery stock in suitable condition for 

 shipment, to provide for this wide dis- 

 tribution. 



Types of Structure for Retarding. 



The type of structure best suited for 

 the work of storing nursery stock is de- 

 termined by the quantity of stock to be 

 handled and the location of the nursery. 

 In those sections where long, uniformly 

 cold winters prevail, the cellar or half- 

 underground structure is satisfactory. 

 Farther south, where conditions are less 

 severe, and where there is greater va- 

 riation in temperature within short pe- 

 riods of time, the above-ground type of 

 structure, insulated by providing multi- 

 • *i. pie partitions of boards and paper in the 

 P^'- oa.ts^»^yralls, gives better satisfaction 

 than any other type oi . al^iictwe; In 

 these southern territories cellars become 



A BLUE ROSE 



The Greatest 



Rose Novelty 



off the Century 



It flowered with us this sea- 

 son and was greatly admired. 



The New Rambler (Violet Blue), hailed 

 by the German rose groweri as (he 

 forerunner of a genuinely cornflower 

 blue rose, is a seedling of Crimson 

 Rambler, very vigorous and hardy, and 

 free blooming.
