but sulficient^e aflPect the market. There 

 was no reason for prices not holding up 

 until the end of the season. We have 

 been shipping up to May 7, out of cel- 

 lared stock, of course. The last three 

 weeks in April were as good as any we 

 have had this season, and we have little 

 to go on the brush heap. Business shows 

 an increase over last season. We have 

 no complaint with conditions. We sell 

 what we grow, and can not well expect 

 to do more than that. 



Andorra Nurseries^ Chestnut Hill, Pa. 



It has been a most peculiar season, by 

 reason of the extremely warm weather 

 during the month of March. In fact, it 

 was perfect June weather, and it brought 



all lines of deciduous stock forward with 

 a rush. This meant that business was 

 poured in all at once, and in the last 

 eight weeks we have been obliged to put 

 through an ordinary fifteen weeks' busi- 

 ness. All stocks have sold and business 

 has been very good. 



BLOOMING OF WHITE LILAC 



Why is it that white lilacs do not 

 bloom as much as the ordinary lilac? 

 What can be done to increase the bloom? 

 Does cutting the bloom start the growth 

 or stop its bloom for the following year? 



G. T. M. 



•^ White lilacs should flower just as pro- 



fusely as the purple ones. Perhaps your 

 bushes need enriching. Give them a 

 mulch of well rotted manure each winter, 

 lightly forking it in around them, and 

 you will speedily make them more vig- 

 orous and floriferous. 



Cutting some wood away with the 

 bloom may check the flowering on that 

 particular shoot for one season, but if 

 you will select the tops of the longest 

 shoots it will help to keep the plants 

 shapely and thus be of benefit, being in 

 the nature of judicious pruning. Pick 

 off all the flowers after they fade. If 

 allowed to remain on and go to seed, 

 they weaken the plant's vitality.
