Many nurseries are using all available 

 office help to fill orders and then are far 

 behind. Any more favorable season for 

 orders would have hopelessly swamped 

 them. 



All the permanent employees of the 

 Armstrong Nursery Co., Los Angeles, Cal., 

 will receiv|e an annual cash bonus, dis- 

 tributed May 31, as their share of the 

 profits. 



PEONY EXHIBITION. 



To Be Held at Beading, Fa. 



At a meeting of the directors of the 

 American Peony Society held at Bead- 

 ing, Pa., recently, a prize schedule was 

 adopted for the spring show to be held 

 at Beading. The dates set are June 10 

 and 11. 



The show is to be at the Hotel Berk- 

 shire and all those who plan to be there 

 should make their reservations at the 

 hotel without delay. The evening of 

 the first day there wilt be an informal 

 dinner with the Beading Chamber of 

 Commerce. The following day an auto- 

 mobile trip is planned, to give the visi- 

 tors some idea of the beauty spots in 

 Ihat picturesque region. 



Everything possible will be done to 

 make the show a success. Beading has 

 exceptional cold storage facilities, 

 which should encourage growers at a 

 distance to send in some fine exhibits. 

 Those who intend to ship should com- 

 municate with B. H. Farr for details. 



The Chamber of Commerce at Beading 

 makes a substantial contribution to the 

 prize schedule and will aid in other ways 

 in giving everyone a good time. The 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is 

 also aiding generously to provide a prize 

 schedule which is much larger than at 

 any previous peony show. It has been 

 especially enlarged so as to appeal to 

 the gardening fraternity in and around 

 Philadelphia, a region famous for its 

 fine estates and gardens. 



Eaxly Entries Bequested. 



Entries for the show are to be ad- 

 dressed to David Rust, secretary of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, 606 

 Finance building. South Penn Square, 

 Philadelphia. AH exhibitors are par- 

 ticularly urged to get in their entries 

 not later than June 1. 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. 



Among the new and interesting fea- 



tures of the show are two prizes for col- 

 lections of Bichardson and Hollis va- 

 rieties. The society has published this 

 year a special bulletin on Hollis 's intro- 

 ductions and some fine exhibits are 

 looked for in this class. The Harrison 

 memorial prize of $100, offered by L. B. 

 Bonnewitz, the president of the society, 

 for a new yellow peony, is still open this 

 year and any good bloomsi staged in 



competition for this prize should be 

 worth seeing. 



In order to expedite the judging, two 

 committees of judges will divide the 

 labor, one taking the open classes, the 

 other the amateurs. 



Attractive Premium List. 



The premium list has awards for those 

 exhibiting in the open classes, advanced 



HaTe yoo seen a garden bordered with 



Box- Barberry 



this spring? Every plant bright and 

 green— not a dead one. A strong con- 

 trast to the northern Buxus bordered 

 garden, now either dead or sadly winter 

 injured, brown and dejected looking. 



Mr. Siebrecht, the veteran plantsman, 

 on seeing the garden the other day shown 

 in accompanying illustration, exclaimed 

 with his characteristic enthusiasm: "Mag- 

 nificent! There is a fortune in it for the 

 nurserymen." 



We offer you well rooted dormant summer frame cuttings ready to set out direct into 

 the nursery without further expense to you at

 for the ensuing season, and others are buyin? these frame grSwn plants for their own plant- 

 in?, preparing for the enormous demand which is sure to follow. 



It is a safe statement that BOX- BARBERRY will jg6on be the plantsman's best seller.
