Everyone who has grown rows of nursery trees know,of course, how often the outside row becomes out of lineby drawing toward the light. There seems no reasonwhy these trees should remain in this condition. Let aman go along the row every day, for a week perhaps,just as the buds are breaking and bring each tree intoa straight line and it would seem that it would remaincured. This method applies only to growths of a year or two,or at any rate to such as have not made heart-wood toprevent the bending. Often choice trees lose their leaders, and much diffi-culty occurs in getting a new one. It should be a greathelp to try this hand bending into line of some curvingshoots at the top, that it may become the central Caryopteris Mastacanthus, Blue Spiraea It is a question whether, in lookingEuonymus around for hardy broad-leaved evergreens,japonica enough attention has been paid to Euonymus japonica and its silver and golden-leavedvarieties. This euonymus can be considered hardy inany average locality in Eastern Pennsylvania, when itis planted where the sun cannot reach it in the Winterseason, or where artificial shading answers the samepurpose. Protection from high, cold winds is also help-ful, but not nearly of equal value to shading from thesun. The writer has seen a specimen of this evergreen,which has been exposed to a temperature of many de-grees below zero more than once in a Winter, and whichwas in a situation where it had not been shaded from thesun; yet, though its leaves had suffered badly, itsbranches had not; and other plants of it near by, whichhad shade from the su
