coated on both the upper and lower side of llie leaves. 
We use Commercial Lime-Sulphur 1 to 49. Also Bor¬ 
deaux Mixture 4 to 6 preferably the Bordeaux but the 
price of Copper Sulphate at present is prohibitive for 
spraying purposes. We use poison only when chewing 
insects attack the trees. 
Cultivation should be stopped early enough for the 
trees to ripen their wood for winter. If cultivation is 
continued until almost time for frost, winter injury is to 
be expected. 
In the foregoing paragraphs I have dealt altogether 
with the growing of one year cherry. I take for 
granted, anyone producing a good tree at one year will 
be successful in bringing that tree to a good marketable 
size the second year. I might say, however, that most 
nurserymen do their summer pruning on two year trees 
too late as cuts on cherry heal over very slowly and for 
this reason should be done early.

ANNUAL SUMMER OUTING OF THE CONNECTICUT 
NURSERYMEN’S ASSOCIATION, AUGUST 16, 1916. 
We motored to Riverside Park, a suburb of Spring- 
field, Mass., about fifty being in the party. 
The baseball game was called at 11 a. in., nines being 
chosen and captained by Messrs. Campbell and Brassill, 
named as the “Ornamentals” and “Big Stock” respec¬ 
tively. The “Big Stock” nine proving true to name tak¬ 
ing the “Ornamentals” into camp to the tune of 20 to 9 
scores owing, perhaps, to their refusal to “be out” until 
four batters were retired. 
The ball game between the Lady Nines proved very 
interesting and the score will not be published—for lack 
of space. 
Dinner was served by the Park Management, after 
which the amusements of the Park were enjoyed, shop 
talked, and everyone voted it one of the most enjoyable 
outings the Association ever held, and all look forward 
to the one next year.

FAGUS STYRACIFOLIA 
This new beech, as the name indicates, has leaves very 
similar to the Styrax, and about half the size of the 
European Beech, of a dark, rich, green color. So far 
the writer has not seen any very large plants, and while 
it follows the general outline and habit of the beech, it 
is very distinct and there is ample room for it among the 
list of lawn specimens, as it has the ear marks of a good 
thing. 
STANDARDIZATION OF BOTANICAL NAMES 
The Agricultural Appropriation Bill as amended and 
passed by the Senate, contains (p. 25) an item of $3,000 
to co-operate with Horticultural organizations in the 
standardization of botanical names. 
Of course the House will have to concur in this amend¬ 
ment. 
Curtis N. Smith, 
Attorney {or the National Association of Nurserymen.
