MR.. MEAD's LIST.
When sending in his list Mr. Mead wrote:
cit is to be regretted that all trees ranging
about fifteen or twenty feet high are excluded
from the terms of competition, as there are
many desirable ones of about that size while
there is lack of variety among the smallest
dwarf evergreens cot two feet and junder.
Another thing is that there are no plants at
all Except Prickly Pears and Spanish Bay
orets) that can be expected to succeed planted
on the sand hills of Lake County without
careful nursing and protection for the first
year or two. 1 tried it for five years and
wasted hundreds of dollars in the vain at
tempt, thinking that I did not wish plants
that could not take care of themselves after
being properly planted Practically speaking
there are no such plants. The requisite that
all the plants should be entirely hardy ex-
cluded such things as Poinsettia and ALA
manda which are, nevertheless, indispensable
to every garden in that region, when frozen
they quickly spring up again and bloom in
their season every year." Mr.. Mead's list is
as follows:

ROSA Tor else Bambusa vulgaris).
