THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
.^85 
It ripens Aug. 10-25. Ripening extends over a period 
half again as long as most varieties cover. Fruit white, with 
a good sized and most attractive red blush of delicate shade. 
Flesh white, with no .stain at the stone; finn, of the most 
excellent quality, juicy, delicious, tender and keeps well. 
An excellent shipper, of fine appearance, even after much 
handling. Trees exceedingly strong growers, shapely and 
symmetrieal. Old Peach orchardists would be surj^rised to 
.see how quickly they attain good size. A regular bearer of 
big crops. Beyond a doubt, Ray is in a class by itself, over 
a very large range of territory and conditions. It has been 
tested thoroughly, as growers in the Eastern, Central and 
Western States have large numbers of Ray trees. We have 
thousands of bearing trees in our OAvn orchards here in Berlin 
and elsewhere in Maryland, and West Virginia and our 
experience with these trees makes us all the more sure of our 
position in recommending it. This .shows, too, an unbounded 
confidence in the commercial qualities of this peaeh.

THE NEEDS OF THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT 
By Warren H. Manning, Landscape Designer, Boston, Mass. 
Plans of a neeessity are usually made to inelude stoek 
that nurseries offer or that can be colleeted. I find the most 
difficulty in procuring good specimen .shrubs and trees of 
large size. 
With evergreens I prefer those grown more open and 
natural. Bushy sheared evergreens are only needed in 
formal work and then must be very symmetrieal. 
Low growing evergreen shrubs should receive more at¬ 
tention from the nurserymen. 
In general my suggestion is that nurser>nnen give more 
room to plants and arrange them so that they can be culti¬ 
vated both ways. Many times they could get the same 
number of plants on the acre by making the rows a little 
narrower and providing for the removal of every other plant 
as they begin to crowd. In this way broad spreading 
specimens could be secured in the plaee of speeimens that are 
thin on two sides owing to erowding in the rows. Such 
plants would better meet the requirements of landscape 
men and I believe the majority of sueh men would be glad 
to pay a higher price. Yours very truly, 
Warren H. Manning.
