The nurserymen's national convention 

 convenes at Atlanta, Ga., next Wednes- 

 day. 



C. W. GuRNEY, of Yankton, S. D., has 

 been in the nursery business in the north- 

 west for thirty-two years. 



Oregon is coming to the front in fruit 

 growing. Nurserymen are doing large 

 business there in fruit trees. 



W. T. AsHroED, of the Kennesaw Gua- 

 no Co., Atlanta, Ga., is starting a nursery 

 on his country place near there, for 

 wholesale business only. 



•A^s ornamental planting develops in 

 the middle and western states, the call 

 for flowering shrubs increases. And it 

 will increase for years to come. 



It begins to look as though the craze 

 for planting peaches might be on the 

 wane. If the anticipated yield develops 

 this season will see prices very low. 



The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, which 

 recently refitted its offices at 170 La Salle 

 street, will have to vacate before May 1 

 next, as the building is to be replaced bv 

 a skyscraper for the Northern Trust Co.

 at St. Louis last week, by charging the 

 officers with lax methods of accounting. 



aVIC SOCIETIES UNITE. 



The American Park and Outdoor \rt 

 Association, which, at its organization 

 was considered as aiming to represent 

 the higher branches of horticulture, has 

 80 far departed from the original plan 

 that at the convention held at St. Louis 

 last week it was merged with the Ameri- 

 can League for Civic Improvement un- 

 der the new name of the American Civio 

 Association. J. Horace McFarland, of 

 Harrisburg, Pa., was elected president 

 and C. M. Robinson, of Rochester, se.'- 

 retary. 



NEW PEONIES, 



On the second day of the rhododen- 

 dron show at Boston, June 5, Dr. R. T. 

 Jackson showed four of his early bloom- 

 ing Richardson seedling peonies. These 

 were as follows: 



G. B. Sowerby, seedling of John Rich- 

 ardson; early, double, center petals 

 creamy white, guard petals pink, very like 

 officinalis alba and perhaps too close to 

 that variety to merit special attention. 



W. H. Dall, posthumous seedling of 

 John Richardson; single, pure white, 

 broad petals almost round, stigmas red; 

 a good flower. 



Emily Andrews Jackson, posthumous 

 seedUng of John Richardson ; single, dark 

 rose, flowers of good size and substance. 



Esther Jackson, posthumous seedling of 

 John Richardson; single, pure white, nar- 

 row petals; rather inferior. 



There are many splendid sorts among 

 the Richardson seedlings. Dr. Jackson,
