It has been decided to hold a Conference at Chiswick on 

 Conifers during October, which it is hoped will prove unusually 

 interesting not only as drawing attention to the best of these Trees 

 and Shrubs from a garden or landscape point of view, but also 

 demonstrating the best varieties to plant for English-grown 

 timber as well as the different uses and suitabilities of the various 

 foreign-grown timbers. The unusually hard winter through 

 which we have just passed will prove a most practical commentary 

 on the hardiness of the different varieties. The co-operation 

 of landowners and others who may have planted these trees or 

 shrubs in years past, or who take a present interest in them, is 

 specially invited.
