T(W^ closed with a banquet in the auxiliary tea room of the California building at the San Francisco exposition on thei evening of Monday, August 16. This was a fitting close to the conventions, which had been the most successful in the history of either organization. There were ninety at the banquet, mak- ing it the largest ever held by the nurs- erymen on the Pacific coast. A BRITISH REFUTATION. The British nursery trade was much exercised over a memorandum recently prepared by Dr. Gordon Hewitt, Do- minion Entomologist, Ottawa, Canada, the purport of which was that nursery stock from Ireland, Belgium, France, Japan, Holland and Germany usually arrives in Canada in excellent condi- tion, and that English nursery stock arrives in bad condition, owing to the lack of care and the use of unsuitable material in packing. The Horticultural Trades' Association took the matter up and, under date of July 28, refutes the assertion by publishing letters from a dozen exporting firms each stat- ing that its packing is first-class and that it seldom if ever has complaints from its American customers. LOW HEDQE NEAR BUILDING. Please give us a suggestion as to what we should plant on the south and east sides of a building. Our plan is to have some shrub grow close to the foundation of a public building, some- thing that we can shear. We do not care to have it grow more than six inches high, on the order of a hedge. Can you tell us what would be suitable, what kind of soil to use, when to plant and how far it should be planted from the building? Our soil is clay. Would privet be all right, or boxwood! If so, give an idea of what it should cost and the best kind for this locality. A. A. K.—N. Y. I would suggest using Euonymus radicans in preference to boxwood. The euonymus will stand 20 degrees below zero without injury, and will be much cheaper than boxwood.
