The third "Bulletin of Peony News" 

 has appeared. It contains the proceed- 

 ings of the American Peony Society at 

 • its fourteenth annual meeting, at New 

 York last June, the list of members, a 

 symposium on the merit of the newer 

 foreign varieties and other matters of in- 

 terest. Copies may be had by applying 

 to A. P. Saunders, secretary, Clinton, 

 N. Y. 



At an executive session joi the South 

 Alabama Nurserymen's Association, re- 

 cently held at Mobile, a committee of 

 three was appointed to investigate the 

 matter of enforcing a quarantine against 

 all citrus fruit states, in order to better 

 combat the canker evil within the state. 

 Composing the committee are A. A. Eich, 

 of Foley^ L. H. Read, of beer Park, and 

 S. Imura, of Grand Bay. 



The state nursery inspector in Tennes- 

 see states that in general nursery stock 

 has made a good growth this year. It is 

 doubtful if there is as much ffuit tree 

 stock in the state as there was last year 

 at this time. The tendency seems to be 

 toward less quantity, better quality and 

 better prices. Sales are reported excel- 

 lent thus far. There is undoubtedly more 

 ornamental nursery stock in the state 

 than there has ever been before. 



Orchardists in the vicinity of North 

 Tonawanda, N. Y., are stirred over what 

 they term "intentional or unintentional 

 frauds ' ' on the part of nurserymen. One 

 orchardist planted fifty-seven peach trees 

 on his property a few years ago, having 

 purchased them with the understanding 

 that they were of the one variety ordered. 

 This year they yielded fruit and the 

 owner says he has almost as many varie- 

 ties of peaches as there are trees. Other 

 growers have had more damaging experi- 

 ences and as a result they intend to pro- 

 tect themselves in the future by exacting 

 an ironclad guarantee from nurserymen 

 as to the variety of the trees they pur- 

 chase.

WHITE ANTS IN NURSERIES. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has received reports of the destructive 

 work of white ants in a number of nurs- 

 eries and lias advised: "Injury to 

 nursery stock will be most serious on 

 recently cleared land where there is 

 abundant decaying wood. Such debris, 

 in which the insects breed, should be 

 removed. In general, the use of recent- 

 ly cleared land should be avoided in 

 planting nursery stock. Care should be 

 taken not to allow the roots to dry out 

 before planting; such weakened stock is 

 liable to attack. In the case of the 

 pecan, it is recommended that two or 

 three cereal crops be grown on newly 

 cleared land before the young trees are 

 set out, Tlie use of commercial fer- 

 tilizers instead of stable manure is sug- 

 gested. Deep late-fall plowing should 

 be of value in breaking up subter- 

 ranean nests." 



AZALEA IluTORTS LARGE. 



Good news it "was to many to hear 

 that the Dutch steamer Ryndam 

 steamed safely up New York harbor on 



Maatloa l^a SaTlaw whae yea wHta. 



the morning of October 18, as the ves- 

 sel had on board t^e first substantial 

 shipment of Belgian azaleas, shrubs, 

 trees and other imports to the trade 

 "via Rotterdam." As the hostile sub- 

 marines operating off the coast had 

 sunk several neutral bottoms, one of 

 which was an outgoing Dutch freighter, 

 some fears were expressed as to the 

 Ryndam 's safe passage through the 

 danger zone, despite the fact that the 

 boat is of neutral registry and is said 

 not to carry contraband of war on its 

 return trips to Holland. 



This arrival of azaleas would indi- 

 cate that somebody has come down from 

 his high perch. The German authori- 

 ties this year refused to issue export 

 permits to Belgian growers to ship to 

 the United States, unless the money 

 was paid in advance to Belgian grow- 

 ers. Money cannot be sent into Bel- 

 gium; British authorities would not al- 

 low the shipments to pass if payment 

 were made to the Belgi^s, who are 

 under control of the Germans; yet the 

 much-discussed azaleas are here! Per- 

 haps the efforts of the Washington, 

 D. C, representative of the S. A. F. 

 and others in this direction are respon- 

 sible for the release of the plants. 



Following are the consignees of the 



Ryndam shipment, as given in New 



York customs papers: 



Maltng & Ware, 543 oases trees; 208 cases 

 plants; 197 eases shrubs.
