It has just come to our notice that the 
CREDIT illustrated article on the characteristics 
RECORDED and differences of the hardy forms of the 
Snowball Hydrangeas, by Dr. Alfred 
Rehder, in the September number of the 
National Nurseryman was not credited to that gentle¬ 
man. We regret this very much and hasten to place the 
credit for this valuable article where it belongs, namely, 
over the name of Dr. Rehder of the Arnold Arboretum. 
The editor’s office takes pleasure in 
HANDSOME acknowledging the receipt of splendid 
APPLES samples of Delicious, Senator and Rome 
Beauty apples from Stark Bros., of 
Louisiana, Mo. The samples well il¬ 
lustrated these varieties at their best—as they can and should 
be grown. The region that can grow Rome Beauty and 
Senator with such fine size and beautiful coloring, has two 
valuable commercial varieties. As for Delicious, the high 
quality of this variety causes it to be kept in “easy remem¬ 
brance.’’ 
CANADIANS 
SHIPPING 
PEACHES TO 
LONDON 
The English papers chronicled late in 
October the arrival of a consignment of 
Canadian peaches in London. The size, 
quality and appearance of the fruit 
received favorable comment. This ship¬ 
ment w r as in the nature of an experiment. The fruit ar¬ 
rived in splendid condition, and the results of the trial are 
veiy encouraging to those interested in transportation 
questions. At the meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers 
Association, several individuals cited experiences in for¬ 
warding small consignments. The chief difficulty is in the 
matter of quick distribution. 
There has come to us out of the West 
NEW another horticultural journal entitled 
JOURNAL the Fruit Magazine. This is edited by 
Mr. H. Maxwell Smith, of Victoria, B. C. 
In consideration of the rapidly develop¬ 
ing fruit interests of the Canadian Northwest there should 
be an opening for a good fruit journal devoted to the 
interests of that section. 
We are pleasantly informed of the 
THE GOOD enduringly satisfying qualities of this 
OLD ANJOU splendid dessert pear by a Thanksgiving 
reminder in the form of a box from 
Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester. 
This firm has consistently stood for quality in fruits and 
has retained, at much inconvenience and probably consider¬ 
able pecunary loss, a large collection of varieties typifying 
the dessert characteristics of pears. These are needed for 
home collections when the best should be grown. Anjou is 
a commercial sort of course but is not always appreciated at 
its full value.
