course, we are trying to make them 

 customers for fall. We try to work on 

 the principle of 'he profits most who 

 serves best,' and a transaction is not 

 closed until the planting is a success and 

 a source of pleasure to the owner." 



O. Joe Howard, of the Howard-Hick- 

 ory Co., Hickory, N. C, says that the 

 weather man did not consult him before 

 ordering spring weather. In spite of 

 this, Mr. Howard says that the firm has 

 had a rattling good season in landscape 

 work, direct mail, and agents' sales. 

 Both Mr. Howard and Mr. Throneburg ■ 

 have had a quarter century 's experience 

 in the nursery business, and their efforts 

 and ability are making this new firm 

 known not only in North Carolina, but 

 in other states, and down the Missis- 

 sippi valley. 



From the Keystone State. 



B. H. Farr, of the Wyomissing Nurs- 

 eries Co., Wyomissing, Pa., told the 

 Rambler that his spring business would 

 come pretty nearly up to the average 

 fall business. This is a bit unusual, as 

 most of the trade is in peonies, irises 

 and other perennials, which are usually 

 sold for planting in the fall. The de- 

 mand for perennials is increased yearly, 

 and planters are demanding larger stock 

 than in the old days. For instance, at 

 one time it was possible to sell a peony 

 root with only one eye, but at the pres- 

 ent time the wise buyer will pass up 

 such stock and demand a root with three 

 or four eyes. Mr. Farr saya that the 

 peonies will be in the prime of their 

 blooming season about June 4. During 

 the blooming season Wyomissing is the 

 Mecca for peony fanciers. Some days 

 100 or more visitors come by motor and 

 train from long distances to inspect the 

 fifty acres or more devoted to these 

 wonderful flowers. 



In addition to the peonies, the visitors 

 can see a special collection of irises, in- 

 cluding Mr. Farr 's own seedling produc- 

 tions, which he has called the Wyomiss- 

 ing hybrids. One special variety is 

 Anna Farr, with white standards bor- 

 dered with pale blue, and with pure 

 white falls. Other varieties produced by 

 Mr. Farr are Seminole, which received 

 honorable mention from the American 

 Iris Society in 1920; Glory of Reading, 

 Chester Hunt, Mount Penn, James Boyd, 

 Wyomissing, Nokomis and a score or 

 more varieties named and unnamed.
