A Manual on the Propagation and 

 Cultivation of the Peony. Edited by 

 C. S. Harrison, York, Neb. Every- 

 body who knows C. S. Harrison, (and 

 what peony lover does not) will realize 

 without further argument, that this 

 70 page pamphlet is worth much more 

 than its price, 25 cents. Mr. Harrison, 

 taken by surprise by the reception ac- 

 corded his first attempt at a peony 

 manual — the first ever issued in any 

 language, has re-written it, adding 

 much valuable information; in fact, 

 most of the matter is new. Much 

 labor has been spent in an endeavor 

 to give a correct descriptive list of 

 leading varieties. We like Mr. Harri- 

 son's advice to beginners in peony 

 cultivation "Begin with thoroughbreds 

 instead of scrubs."
