HORTICULTURAL NOTES 
Stocks of fruit trees desired for bud¬ 
ding or grafting should never be obtained 
from suckers, as stocks so raised take the 
suckering character with them. This 
is seen in the Morello cherry in old gar¬ 
dens. Where set out from suckers they 
form thickets by suckering. 
Common hop vine is often used to 
cover a trellis desired to be quickly cov¬ 
ered. It is good for this purpose, but a 
prettier one, if not quite as rampant a 
grower, is the golden-leaved hop. Its 
golden tinted foliage is most attractive. 
Spiraea Anthony Waterer is one of the 
very best of June blooming shrubs. In 
mixed shrub collections it is very effec¬ 
tive, its crimson flowered flat heads of 
blossoms making a great display. 
Pruned well as soon as flowers are done, 
it will give a fall display of great merit. 
None of the Hydrangea Hortensia 
type can be considered hardy in Penn¬ 
sylvania. They live out, but kill to the 
ground, which prevents their flowering. 
The variety Thomas Hogg appears to 
stand more cold than any of the others, 
and when in favorable situations it often 
carries its shoots safely through the 
winter, and then flowers in summer. 
Examples of sugar maples growing 
when transplanted after making leaves 
in spring are frequently met with. The 
secret of success lies in the flooding of 
them with water for a week after trans¬ 
planting. Many other trees will live 
treated in the same way. 
Juglans Sieboldiana is an extremely 
vigorous grower, making twice the 
growth a season the common Juglans 
regia does. Its foliage is very large, 
showing its old name J. ailantifoha was 
not inappropriate. Its nuts are borne in 
a long string, twenty or more in a 
cluster. In flavor they are not the equal 
of those of the J. regia-, but the tree 
is hardier.
