EXHIBITION OF THE AMERICAN 

 PEONY SOCIETY. 



At a meeting of the directors of this 

 Society held at Reading, Pa., recently, 

 a prize schedule was adopted for the 

 spring show to be held at Reading. 

 The dates provisionally set are June 

 1(1 and 11. The show is to be set up 

 at the Hotel Berkshire, and all those 

 who plan to be there should make 

 their reservations of rooms at the 

 hotel without delay. On the evening 

 of the first day, there will be an in- 

 formal dinner with the Reading Cham- 

 ber of Commerce. For the following 

 day an automobile trip is planned, to 

 give the visitors some idea of the 

 beauty spots in that picturesque re- 

 gion. 



The Pennsylvania Horticultural So- 

 ciety is also aiding very generously 

 to provide a prize schedule that is 

 much larger than at any previous 

 peony show. It has been especially 

 enlarged so as to appeal to the garden- 

 ing fraternity in and around Philadel- 

 phia — a region famous for its fine es- 

 tates and gardens. 



Entries for the show are to be ad- 

 dressed to Mr. David Rust, secretary 

 of the Pennsylvania Horticultural So- 

 ciety, 606 Finance Building, South 

 Penn Square, Philadelphia; and all ex- 

 hibitors are particularly urged to get 

 in their entries not later than June 1st. 

 It is impossible to make adequate 

 preparation for vases and table space 

 unless something is known beforehand 

 as to the number of entries' in each 

 class. 



BISHOP'S HAT 



(Epimedium macranthum) 

 Some flowers have already passed 

 from the floral pageant of the year. 

 The crocusses have held their cups to 

 the bees and dropped them. The win- 

 ter aconite has gone. But the delicacy 

 of the spring flowers is still with us. 

 Blossoming under a great oak, where 

 maidenhair and dicksonia ferns grow 

 to perfection, is a dainty herb from 

 Japan known as the Bishop's Hat from 

 the square, flat shape of its blossoms. 

 The blossoms are in loose sprays 

 which branch off from the main stems 

 two inches below where the main stem 

 divides into the three sprays which 

 bear the leaves. They come in buiff or 

 soft yellow, mauve and white. The 

 one which has done the best at Hill- 

 crest gives the Bishop a yellow lining 

 to his dark red hat. It is well ar- 

 ranged for his Grace's comfort, as 

 under the square flat hat is a little 

 cap to hold it well in place. It is so 

 pretty a hat that we hope it is in the 

 ritual of the floral world for it to be
