NOTES ON TREES AND SHRUBS.

course, depend upon circumstances. [| 
do not wish it to be understood that I re- 
commend the cutting out of all under- 
brush; far from it, for there are many 
places where gardener’ s artistic taste may 
come in, by planting shade-loving shrubs 
and plants. It is in the planting of these, 
too, that much forethought and good 
judgement must be shown, so that they 
will be in harmony with their surround- 
ings. No better teacher can be found 
than Nature for this class of work, and, 
by giving Nature a little study, we will 
soon see why those rhododendrons do 
not thrive under those pines, or why those 
azaleas look so poorly and so out of place 
amongst those spruces. 
The bordering of native woodlands for 
effect with dwarf flowering trees or oran- 
mental shrubs should receive much atten- 
tion, for what could be finer than season- 
able effects of these against the woodland 
background, when looking acrossagreens- 
ward. For effective plantings of this 
kind we have such a host of suitable sub- 
jects. 
It is too seldom the case that enough 
attention is given to the proper manner 
of planting trees and shrubs. Why they 
do not thrive better is often wondered at, 
not only by the owner of the place, but 
by the very men who plant them. I be- 
lieve that every estate should have its 
own little nursery, and that before plants 
are put in there permanent locations they 
should have, at least, one year in that 
little spot where they will get a chance 
for proper care with the pruning knife, 
and have an opportunity to make those 
fibrous roots that are required to make 
a healthy growth when put in their per- 
manent locations. 
Spring is the most suitable time to plant 
all kinds of trees and shrubs, althought 
some species may do well enough if 
planted during the autumn, yet, in most 
RESOLUTIONS. 
WuereEAs:—In the death of our esteemed 
fellow member, Mr. Wm. J. Griffin, the North 
Shore Horticultural Society has sustained the loss 
of one of its earliest members, also one of its 
most prominent exhibitors, a man of sterling 
worth, at all time interested in everything per- 
taining to Horticulture, 
ReEsoLvVeD:—That we deeply mourn his un- 
timely demise and extend to his sorrowing family 
our heartfelt sympathy in this their great afflic- 
tion, and 
ResoL_vep:—That these resolutions be enter- 
ed upon the records of the Society and a copy 
thereof transmitted to his family.

locations, better results will be obtained 
if the planting i is done in the spring. 
The pruning of trees and shrubs is 
something that needs the most careful 
consideration. How often do we see 
shrubs all cut and butchered all into the 
self-same shape? and, in fact, we can 
hardly tell until we look closely what the 
shrubs are. Trees require very little 
pruning after they have got properly 
started. 
All the pruning that needs to be done 
with such shrubs as the Viburnums, Cor- 
nuses, Deutzias, Wielelas, Ligustrums, 
etc., is to cut out occasionally any of the 
older branches, to give an opportunity 
for new growth; and this pruning may 
be better done in summer time or after 
the plants have passed the blooming sea- 
son. 
N.S. H. S. Notes. 
The regular bi-monthly meeting of the 
N. S. H. Society was held last Friday 
evening, in Lee’s hall, President Mc- 
eregor in the chair. John W. Duncan, 
Asst. Supt. of the Boston Parks, read a 
very interesting paper on trees and shrubs, 
an account of which will be found on 
another page. It might be added that 
persons desiring to read the whole of the 
paper, may obtain a copy from the sec- 
retary of the society. 
James Salter was awarded a Certificate 
of Merit for six pots of antirrhinum 
(Sutton’s White Queen), displayed at the 
meeting.
