THE SILK VINE. 



I send you a spray of leaves and a 

 few flowers of a vine I am unfamiliar 

 with. I am a young nurseryman and 

 have a lot to learn. Will you please 

 give me its botanical name and also its 

 common name and to what class of vines 

 it belongs? The flowers are not much 

 for size or looks, but the vine is certainly 

 one of the finest I have seen for foliage. 

 How may it be propagated and is it 

 hardy f C. C. C. 



This plant is Periploca Grseca, com- 

 monly known as the silk vine. It be- 

 longs to the natural order asclepiadaceec. 

 Propagation may be effected by seeds, 

 greenwood cuttings in summer under 

 glass, or layers. This vigorous growing 

 climber is well adapted for covering 

 walls, arbors, trunks of trees, etc. P. 

 GrsBca is hardy as far north as New 



York and even as far north as Canada if 

 protected during winter.

PEONIES. 



Please tell me which are the best 

 peonies and when to buy and plant 



them. 



S. A. P. 



There are so many good peonies that 

 it is impossible to say in any offhand 

 manner which are the best. The pur- 

 pose for which they are to be used 

 makes some difference. For cut flow- 

 ers probably no sort is more largely 

 grown than the old Whitleyi, now gen- 

 erally catalogued as Queen Victoria. 

 It is comparatively cheap, a good white 

 and a fine keeper. Festiva maxima 

 has generally been called the best 



white, but it costs more money and not 

 every dealer's stock is true. At the 

 recent peony show in Chicago every- 

 one liked Marie Lemoine and Couronne 

 d'Or. A well liked pink is Lady 

 Bramwell. I>elicati8sima is another 

 good one, and a still lighter is Golden 

 Harvest. The best red is very late. 

 It is Eichardson's Eubra superba. At 

 the Chicago show a better and earlier 

 one was shown as Lee's Grandiflora 

 rubra, but this is not on the market. 

 There are dozens of other good sorts, 

 but you will not go amiss on these. 



As with everything else, it is wise to 

 buy peonies early. Put in your order 

 in July or August for shipment in Sep- 

 tember. Early orders should mean best 

 stock and September planting will in- 

 sure the plants becoming well estab- 

 lished before cold weather. H. O.
