There is a surplus of Catalpa speciosa 

 in the west. 



There apparently is a good lot of 

 grape vines awaiting a call. 



Changes in classification, one item at 

 a time, are steadily advancing freight 

 rates on nursery stock, especially on less 

 than car lots. 



Nowadays there is no nurseryman or 

 orchardist but recognizes the value of 

 spraying, though some do not appear to 

 recognize its necessity. 



W. A. Peterson, Chicago, has invest- 

 ed in a new Franklin touring car, the 

 third machine he has owned since he 

 caught the automobile fever. 



T. W. Dennington is starting a nur- 

 sery at Athens, Ga. The land which he 

 has secured for the purpose is on the 

 Jeflferson road, several miles out from the

THE ROSE AND ITS HISTORY. 



(Continued from Page 16.) 



blackberry, is another of this type. It is 

 a native of China, Japan, Korea, etc. It 

 is one of the parents of several summer- 

 flowering hybrids, as Crimson Eambler. 

 Crossed with Kosa Indica, it has produced 

 the class of perpetual flowering dwarf 

 miniature roses known as polyantha. 

 Bosa sempervi/ens is known as the ever- 

 green rose, not because it is strictly ever- 

 green, but because it holds its leaves 

 longer than most roses do. It is a na- 

 tive of middle Europe, Greece and the 

 Balearic Islands. It is not as hardy in 

 this latitude as some of its relatives. 

 Kosa Wichuraiana is a native of China 

 and Japan. It was introduced into cul- 

 tivation about 1887. It is especially use- 

 ful for covering masses of rocks and is 

 perfectly hardy. One must not forget 

 Jersey Beauty when thinking of this rose. 

 Bosa Banksise, a native of southern 

 China, was named in honor of Lady 

 Banks. Unfortunately, this requires the 

 protection of a greenhouse in northern 

 latitudes. There is a yellow and a white 

 form. 



Passing to the canina group, we have 

 Bosa canina itself, the dog rose, a na- 

 tive of Europe and temperate Asia. It 

 is sometimes found growing as an intro- 

 duction in the eastern parts of the United 

 States. Bosa rubiginosa is another 

 species of this same group, a native of 

 Europe. This is familiar to you all as 

 the sweet brier, receiving this name from
