Mention The Review when you write which each may cater, are wound around and securely bound by fixed habits of production and sale, with the result that we are running far short of our opportunities. Once in a great while someone, after years of effort, convinces us that he has in a new Hydrangea aborescens a real treasure, which will stir the enthu- siasm of the public and increase gen- eral business; and Meehan crawls out of a shell to prove, with Mallow Mar- vels, that there are remarkable merits to be evolved from common plants, while a multitude of hybridizers are vying with one another to produce still another hybrid Wichuraiana. Yes, we need more varieties, but not along beaten tracks, or merely to in- crease numbers. There is nothing so confusing to the amateur buyer as to be confronted with a huge catalogue, with long lists of varieties from which to select. On the other hand, Ameri- cans cannot stand monotony, and plant lists must be lifted out of mediocrity, and the prospective customer be made to feel that here, at least, is a nursery that has not gone to seed. There must be evidences of constant and genuine progress. A Necessary Kind of Specializing. There are times when the more elabo- rate list is desired, but then it should be the list of a specialist. I approve the specializing of such men as Farr, and no doubt they are successful, but I consider it would be wholly imprac- tical to add such a collection
