TREES AND SHRUBS FOR WIN.
TER DISPLAY.

Increasing attention Is being given
to the planting of trees and shrubs
which will make the garden gay all
the year round. Professor Charles S.
Sargent, director of the famous Arnold
Arboretum. near Boston. has been
making special efforts to show the
public as well as nurserymen the pos
sibilities of winter displays. In
doubtedly the Arboretum offers a bet
ter opportunity to become familiar
with the plants suitable for a winter
garden than any other place in the
country.
There really is no reason why the
shrub border should be devoid of coloi

There are many plants which are at.

age and still others which carry their
fruits we'll into the cold weather. and
even until spring. Among the most
conspicuous of the latter are the bar
berries, which are often found covered
with last years fruit when growing
their new crop of leaves.
Perhaps the most beautiful of all the

ties of euonymus, among them the well
known burning bush. Euonymus
bungeanus is AN Oriental shrub which
has been occasionally seen In this
country for many years, a few speci-

One valuable result of the trip to
Formosa has been the distribution Oh
seeds from tho Asiatic redwood to
countries in all parts Of the world
where this tree seems at all likely to
flourish. This redwood, which the
Japanese call Taiwania, Is the largest
tree in the world, outside Of Australia
and the Pacific coast. 1t seems sur
passed somewhat by our California
sequoiss, which 1t closely resembles.
The Asiatic redwoods found by Mr..
Wilson are exceedingly old. The jap
anese report that they counted 2,7o0
annual rings on one Of them. They
make a curious picture, Mr.. Wilson
says, some of them being bare Of
limbs almost to the top of the gigantic
trunks. These redwoods are growing
on Mount Ari, which is one Of the
many mountains In Formosa. 1t Is
not the highest mountain, though.

missionary, being much higher. In
deed, Mount Morrison Is the highest

In Formosa Mr.. Wilson had in his
company several former head hunt
ers. Many savage tribes still remain
in the island, but they are kept in
bounds to a large extent by the Jap
anese, who have a very efficient police
force. Both in Formosa and in Cores
the Japanese were very courteous and
did everything in their power to help
him in his work. During the course
of his journeys Mr.. Wilson had many
exciting adventures. While in For
mosa he crossed the lofty cliffs on the
northeast coast, being the first white
man to make this trip. He followed
the narrow police trail, which at times
wound its way along rocky precipices
where there was a sheer drop Of d

Grow Radishes for Winter Use
Various forms of radishes.

Sow radishes in rich ground where
they can make rapid growth. Winter
radishes should he sown by July, so
they will be fully developed by au-
tumn. when they should be taken up
and stored in cool cellar, covered
with sand. The best radish for sum-
mer use is icicle. 1t Is a long, white
radish of good flavor, growing three to
four inches long in about three weeks;
1t is the only radish that can be grown
by the ordinary gardener and have fit
for table use in hot weather.
In the illustration the various forms
of radishes are shown. Cardinal Globe

Freak forms are not confined to the
general outline of the tree. Sometimes
nature carries her eccentric behavior
to the shape of the leaves. In the
Arboretum collection, for example, is
a good specimen of the Eagle Claw
maple, a form OF the Norway maple.
1t gets it's name from the fact that its
leaves are twisted and curled in such
a way that they closely resemble the
claws Of some huge bird. Needless to
say. this tree is curious and interesting
rather than beautiful.
Trees with the weeping habit are
really abnormal forms. They have be-
come highly popular with nurserymen
and gardeners, although they have to
be used with care, for they are not
adapted to mixed plantations, looking
best when used as single specimens
Perhaps the best known and most his
torical Of these pendulous trees is the
weeping willow; but other kinds are
more generally planted now. The
weeping birch is unsurpassed for
beauty, and the collection Of birches in
the Arboretum is often visited by
people interested in these trees. For
merly the cut leaf weeping birch was
planted very largely in the Northern
States. 1t is not used as much now, be.

PLANTING FOR CHILDREN.
BY MARTHA McCULL0CH-wILL-
JAMS.

Something ought to be planted for
every child born. All too often such
planting is impossible, more's the pity,
but those who have the opportunity
should by all means improve it. Set
cut something's tree, a shrub, a fruit
full vine. even a humble berry bush.
n the name Of the little one, and tend
1t carefully until the wee owner can
do it himself. Let the fruit Of 1t be
recognized as the child's special prop
erty-if it is used at home pay a fair
price for it. II 1t is sold outside, how
ever small the price. put it religiously
to the credit of the small owner. And
as soon as that owner is steady upon
his feet encourage in him a thrifty
sense OF property.
Such sense implanted In the first
formative years is worth many SER
mons later on. A very wise man said.
and experience approves the saying,
that the first six years of a chtid's
life really shape and mould its destiny.
Nothing is more educative than the
care of a growing thing. What is
much better. It gives a living interest
In the home. A laden apple tree. a

erous with the rewards OF their labors
Part can be sold, but another part as
liberal should be given away, either
to friends or homefolk.
This Is for the keeping down of
selfishness and covetousness. But this
is not to say thrift ought to- be dis
couraged. Instead. help the young
sters TO get the biggest possible re-
turns. Say apples are over-cheap
through glutted market-either dry
the fruit, turn 1t into cider and later
apple butter. or sort it carefully. keep
ing only the very best of t. and taking
pains to save the best until the price

fancy prices. In the putting up,
Mother of course will help at first
but the youngsters will soon learn
the knack. and maybe improve on
her methods.
The essential thing is to give each
child stake in the place. a feeling
of belonging to it. Nothing makes
more for contentment. consequently
for happiness, If what the tree. or
the vine, or the bush, yields can be
saved for some definite purpose. the
care and attendance upon it will have

saplings to happy uprightness by
keeping them happy. Happiness Is
sunshine spiritual, without which there
can be no perfect growth.

ECCENTRIc1TIEs OF TREES.

Why DO some trees and shrubs that
have developed well established char
acteristics occasionally produce a
specimen which is entirely different IN
form and habits? Nobody can answer
this question. for 1t is one Of natures
mysteries. Plantsmen, though, can
take advantage of this freak perform
ancs to obtain new varieties for use in
decorative work. Oftentlmes abnormal
but interesting forms Of different trees
are found in the woods. but sometimes
they occur in nurseries.
Probably the best collection Of such
trees anywhere in the world Is to be

"Chinese" Wilson Returns From Ex-

New Found Plants

by the Japanese Government to pre-
mare n plan for the scientific manage
ment of the Corean forests. While he
was in Japanese territory the British
Government sent him request
through it's Ambassador in Tokio to
supply information about Japanese
trees which could be used in the retor-
esting Of England and Scotland. IN
response to this request he was able
to obtain and ship to England 10000
pounds Of Japanese larch seed this
iarch being a tired well adapted to meet
climatic conditions prevailing In Eng
land and Scotland.
In addition to the new plants which
he secured for Western lands, Nh
Wilson obtained between 10000 and
40, 900 herbarium specimens, which Will
be available for the use of botanists
and which in themselves win form q
collection Of exceeding value. Nearly
700 photographs were also made con-
sisting mostly of trees and shrubs In
the various countries visited. These
pictures will give the world the hrse
views Of many native plants and the
collection is highly priced.
Although It is too early to fully ap-
praise the results OF the trip, there 10
no doubt of the fact that the flora OF
this country and Of other countries
will be greatly enriched 10y the new
plants brought back. For thirteen
years Mr.. Wilson has been going out
for the Arboretum, having made four
trips to Eastern countries in its behalf.
He has done much to carry on tho
work started by Prof. Sargent when he
visited Japan thirty years ago and
brought home some of the plants now
common in American gardens. He has
had a prominent part in helping to
earn for the Arnold Arboretum the
reputation which it now holds of being
the worlds most active agency in the
collection and dissemination Of new
and worth while woody plants.

the garden maker and the nurseryman
can find a great number OF fastigiate,
weeping, round topped and dwarf
plants worth growing and propagating.
One Of the most interesting is a fas-
tigiate form of the sugar maple. II is
called Acer Saccharum var. Monu-
mentale. The parent tree was found
in cemetery in Newton. Mass. in
1885. The specimen In the Arboretum
is one Of the narrowest and most re-
markable of all trees which have taken
the fastigiate form. Except for its
slower growth, It would be a much
better tree to grow than the Lombardy
poplar.
The Arboretum also has an upright
form of the red maple, and q similar
silver maple. The first was grown
from a graft obtained from the Par
the latter originated in a European
nursery. Then there is a Norway
maple, which, although little broader
than the American naples. has a we'll
pronounced fastigiate form and makes
a handsome tree.
Many other trees besides the naples
have taken on this curious habit, and
many specimens are found in the Ar
boretum, among them European
beech. This tree has recently been prop
agated by nurserymen and should do
well in American gardens. Even the
conifers sometimes assume a pyra-
midal form. In the pinetum there
are severaf-~trees Of the white pine
with erect branches. which give them
a peculiar and distinct appearance.
They were raised from gratis taken
from a tree growing Near Stamford.
