color is pink of lilac toiu' and I do not 

 know of any other peony with which to 

 compare it. Mrs. Halvenieyer E. (". 

 Shaw and President Wilson, three of 

 their new seedlings, look to me to have 

 great merit. The one bearing the name 

 of James K. Mann did not seem to 

 come up to the high standard of the 

 other three, but possibly n bloom from 

 an older plant may put it in the same 

 class. Of the entire display of Thur- 

 low seedlings, F^resident Wilson ap- 

 pealed to me as being the best, possibly 

 because I had seen some most excellent 

 blooms from it in my own garden. Jt 

 retains its pink until the last petal drops 

 and it holds its form and shape Ijetter 

 than ninety-five per cent of the peonies 

 I know. I predict that both it and the 

 new Dessert peony, Jeannot, will get 

 into the jirize-winning class in the near 

 future. Of the newest peonies these 

 two pleaseil me most. ' '

Regulation '■'> of the regulations sup- 

 ])lemental to (puiruntine No. 4.') on ac- 

 count of the gypsj.' moth an<l the lirown- 

 tail moth in New England has been 

 modified by the Secretary of Agricul- 

 ture by changing the (piarantine lines 

 to correspond with the spread or reces- 

 sion of these insects during the last 

 year. 



Jn 192(1 there was considcralily more 

 spread westward of the gypsy moth 

 than has been the case for several ])revi- 

 ous J^^ai'*^- This extension iinoh-es the

As has been the case (jiiriiig recent 

 years, there lias lieen a riMluction in the 

 area infested by the brown-tail nu)th. A 

 good deal of this decrease is due to the 

 energy of the citizens in clean-up work, 

 to the action of parasites and to the 

 Heavy winter-killing of the liirva> in 

 the wehs. Tt has been foun<l possible
