AMERICAN ASSOaATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., E. Albei'tson, Brldgreport, Ind.; Vlce- 

 Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo. 

 C Sealer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



The Fresno Nursery Co., Fresno, Cal., 

 has been incorporated with $50,000 capi- 

 tal stock. 



The prospects are for good prices for 

 peach and cherry trees for the next fall 

 and spring seasons. 



The peony growers report a very grat- 

 ifying amount of business as a result 

 of the Chicago exhibition. 



Geo. T. Powell says that it is seldom 

 that a perfect specimen of spruce is seen 

 because of too close planting and poor 

 pruning. 



Nurserymen will be interested in a 

 sketch and portrait of T. C. Thurlow, of 

 West Newbury, Mass., on another page 

 of this issue. 



The American sweet chestnut is a val- 

 uable tree, not only for its rapid growth 

 and longevity, but for its profusion of 

 bloom after other flowers are past. 



On a prote.n of C. D. Stone & Co.. an 

 importation of young stock of Carissa 

 Carandas and Dillenia speciosa has been 

 held free of duty as tropical fruit 

 plants for purposes of propagation. 



D. S. Grimes, of Denver, Colo., who 

 was widely known in the nursery trade, 

 particularly as a shipper of seeds of 

 Rocky mountain conifers, died June 28, 

 aged 77 years. A portrait and sketch of 

 his life appeared in the Review of June 

 29. 



MARIE LEMOINE. 



I note the item in the Review for 

 July 6 regarding Peony Marie Lemoine. 

 There is but one Marie Lemoine sent out 

 by Calot in 1869, original description 

 "enormous bloom, sulphur white, shaded 

 with pink and chamois tints, strong 

 stems, medium height; very late." On 

 my soil this description hardly will fit 

 the flower, as it is a pure white inter- 

 mingled with golden stamens that pro- 

 duce a yellowish or sulphurish snading 

 which is but a reflection, .The center 

 petals are edged very much like those of 

 Pestiva maxima. Couronne d'Or (Calot, 

 1873), and Helena (Kelway) are very 

 much like it and I doubt if any three 

 experts could pick out the difterent ones 

 after they were cut and placed in a 

 vase. Time of blooming, etc., are the 

 same with me. Marie Lemoine sent out 

 by Rosenfield, afterwards by Dreer, Har- 

 rison, Ward, Betscher, etc., is none other 

 than Achillea, sent out by Calot in 1885 

 and described as "delicate flesh color, 

 very fresh coloring." I find this rather 

 a very delicate violet flesh and it has a 

 small spot of greenish yellow on the tip 

 of some petals; when left on the plants 

 they become quite a pure white in the 

 fully developed flower; when cut and 

 left in an ordinary room they retain a 

 fleshy color, fading lighter but not white. 



In our list of about 1,000 sorts I find 

 a great many that are very similar. 

 About fifty sorts are verv similar to 

 Whittleyi; Ne Plus Ultra, fifteen
