A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION 
At the tweltth annual meeting of the Connecticut Nur¬ 
seryman’s Association, W. W. JMcCartney read a paper 
on “Labor Saving Devices” and it was suggested that 
the Secretary write to the Secretary of The American 
Nurserymens’ Association and suggest tliat they, The 
American Association, establish a Department of Nur¬ 
sery Implements, for the purpose of securing from it’s 
members suggestions as to improvements in present ma¬ 
chinery, new machinery and labor saving devices—to 
pick out the practical suggestions and have same pub¬ 
lished in “Trade Papers” and, in case of new machinery, 
to secure a reliable manufacturer for its building. 
POLISH PRIVET 
Polish Privet was introduced from Poland-Russia by 
the Iowa State College and was disseminated several 
years ago by Iiwin Engels, Proprietor of the Home Nur- 
sery, Lafayette, Illinois. It is really a very handsome 
form, a fine grower and like all Privets easily jiropagated. 
Its greatest value evidently is its hardiness and adapta¬ 
bility for the northern states, where other varieties are 
so apt to winter kill. Judging from obseiTation in the 
last three years, it is not going to be a success south of 
New York, as it seems to be subject to fungous disease, 
due no doubt to its being grown in a warmer locality than 
that to which it is adapted.
