but there is no evergreen that so combines 
the qualities of utility, rapid growth, heavy 
yield, and ease of management as the white 
pine. It is the very foundation of orna- 
mental and commercial tree planting, and 
ornamentativeness and usefulness, produc- 
tion and protection combine in white pine 
as in no other tree. 
Because of its great \alue we Itelieve that 
white pine should lie planted in the future 
even more e.xtensively than in the past.

New Box Barberry 
We described in these pages the new 
hedge plant, Box Barberry, recently intro- 
duced by the Elm City Xursery Co. of Tsew 
Haven, Conn. 
We show herewith an illustration of 
a two-year-old plant of this new Bar- 
berry. for the purpose of comparing the 
size of the foliage with that of the nor- 
mal Thunbergii type. The loose branch 
lying in front of the plant is Barberis 
Thunl)ergii, and it may l)e noted that the 
foliage of the l)o.x l)arlierry is less than 
half that of the other variety. 
The new barlierry was first discovered 
some tifteen years ago among a bed of 
Japan liarberry seedlings, and has lieen the 
subject of careful development b\' the 
propagators since that time. It is recom- 
mended as a low, uniformly growing hedge 
plant of unusual adaptaliility. 
The introducer's plans are to make the 
first offer of stock of it for propagating pur- 
poses to the trade this fall. In the spring 
of l!ll!) it will be introduced to the gen- 
eral public. This gives the holders of 
stock obtained this fall ample opportunitx-

to propagate a good stock of this box bar- 
lierr}- themselves. Plants one year old, 
from either hard or soft wood cuttings, can 
be produced which are amply sizeable for 
hedge purposes. It is probable that plants 
should be grown one year in nursery rows, 
however, to produce the class oi plants 
which will be most in demand for low 
hedge purposes. 
It is claimed that this new dwarf box 
barberry can be probtablx sold at so popu- 
lar a price as to warrant its wide adoption 
for the uses for which it is fitted. 
The Cover Illustration 
The iron fence illustrated on the cover 
of this issue is a type particularly recom- 
mended for its protective qualities, 
It was selected as the inclosure for this 
big athletic field because of its simplicity-, 
strength and substantial construction. 
It is a type of massive, plain design, and 
yet so well designed from a constructional 
point of view as to make a pleasing appear- 
ance, especially where it is seen in the long 
stretches that are required for the enclo-
