The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JANUARY 25, 1900. 



OCEANIC, N. J, 



At the semi-monthly meeting of the 

 Monmouth County iiorticultural So- 

 ciety, Prof. Byron D. Halsted delivered 

 his lecture on "Parasitic Fungi Under 

 Glass and Rusts." Although it was 

 storming, ninety-four were in attend- 

 ance. The professor stated that car- 

 nation rust was an old pest in Europe 

 and doubtless came to us on imported 

 stock about 1SS9, and within the last 

 ten years had spread throughout the 

 country. He showed by illustrations 

 how rust can be quickly distinguished 

 by the plump gray blisters produced 

 upon the leaves and stems, and how it 

 spreads after the epidermis is broken 

 and the brown, rusty spores escape in 

 great numbers; how the fungus sends 

 its slender threads in all directions 

 through the leaf or stem of the plant. 



The fungous diseases of violets and 

 their remedies were very well venti- 

 lated. Mildew on roses was discussed 

 and shown by illustrations as a sur- 

 face feeder that does not send its fila- 

 ments deeply into and between the 

 cells of the leaves. Rust on chrysanthe- 

 mums was also shown by illustrations 

 and I am sure that everyone present 

 will know this pest hereafter as soon 

 as he sees it. 



A very lively discussion followed, 

 which was taken part in by Dr. W. 

 Whitmore, Rev. Dr. Kneip, Prof. Wall- 

 ing, Messrs. Frank McMahon, A. Stew- 

 art, Philadelphia, H. A. Kettel, N. But- 

 terbach and others. 



One new member was elected. 



After the meeting refreshments were 

 served, which was followed by whole- 

 sale smoking to destroy the germs of 

 the diseases previously mentioned. 



It was a meeting that will be re- 

 membered for a long time by everyone 

 present. N. BUTTBRBACH, 



Secretary. 



PAEONIES AND VALLEY IN THE 

 SOUTH. 



On page 170 of your issue of January 

 11, I notice a request for information 

 as to how far south paeonias and lily 

 of the valley are successfully grown. 

 Here in Anniston, 1,000 feet above the 

 sea level, we have nice lily of the val- 

 ley outside in the full sun in March. 



As to paeonias, I imported years ago 

 a fine collection of tree paeonias from 

 France. They never bloomed. The 

 herbaceous kinds do better. The com- 

 mon kinds do best.
