Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom. Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. 2732. A tender tree bound with branches of hemlock. The protected tree is a specimen of Gordonia about 10 feet high, at Arnold Arboretum, Boston. evergreens, buildings or solid fences, do not exist, tem- porary ones should be made of boards, evergreen boughs, corn-stalks, etc., to protect arboreal plants that are not qviite hardy, e. g., in this climate Halesia tetrapterctj and in the eastern states Magnolia grandi- flora, hollies, etc. Place the wind-break at the sides to- wards the prevailing winds, generally north and west, and at the sunny side of any evergreen that browns. The boughs or stalks may be attached to wire netting or to cords fastened to stakes. The so-called retinosporas may have placed over them an empty box open at the top. Shrubs that are still more tender should be boxed, the box having a tight top and ventilation at the sides. In all cases mulch well at the roots. Magnolia Soalangeana. M. speciosa and plants of similar degrees of hardiness may have their branches tied in and empty casks placed over them, one sitting partially inside the other, and held in place by stakes. Put a cone-shaped covering over the top to shed the snow. Or poles may be set close to the tree, wigwam fashion. Wrap these with burlaps, or wind string around them for the straw to- lean against, and in both instances wrap with straw. The so-called hardy climbing roses, such as the Seven Sisters and Prairie Queen, which are hardy without protection but are benefited by it, Wichuraiana and its hybrids, Paul Carmine Pillar, Russell Cottage.
