AMERICAN ASSOa^TIDN OF KURSlRrMlN. 



Pi-es., E. Albeitson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce- 

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

 C. Sea*rer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The 31st annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



It looks as though the production of 

 California privet might easily be over- 

 done. There was no scarcity last spring. 



There does not appear to be any 

 prospect of a surplus of cherry trees for 

 years to come, although the output is 

 increasing. 



The import orders for English Manetti 

 stocks are heavier than usual, rose forcers 

 everywhere being interested by the show- 

 ing grafted plants have made in the 

 east. 



This has been a splendid season for 

 growth in the middle West, some nurs- 

 erymen reporting that stock has in- 

 creased in size as much as in two aver- 

 age years. 



Peony growers reported a very large 

 business just after the Chicago show 

 by the national society, but July was 

 a quiet month. However, as planting 

 time approaches business is picking up 

 again. 



The Highland Colony Co., after some 

 years of trial, have proven that the 

 Alberta peach is best adapted to the con- 

 ditions about Ridgeland, Miss., which is 

 becoming quite a peach growing center. 

 Next to Alberta they recommend Car- 

 men and Greensboro. 



The gentleman whose eloquence car- 

 ried the nurserymen's convention to Dal- 

 las for 1906, seems not to have main- 

 tained that Texas is a land of milk and 

 honey but rather a spot where one may 

 look for plenty of spring chickens and 

 a more virulent liquid than mineral 

 water. 



The Horticultural Advertiser suggests 

 that, while American peony growers have 

 in the past been large buyers in Europe, 

 from all reports it seems likely that the 

 tide will soon turn in the other direc- 

 tion, or will at least resolve itself into 

 an exchange, so many are the promising 

 American seedlings. 



PEONIES IN THE SOUTH. 



It would be impossible to tell just 

 what varieties of peony would be most 

 satisfactory in the south, but I see no 

 reason w^hy they should not thrive there 

 if given the proper treatment. I have 

 seen fine blooms of officinalis rubra 

 grown in southern Tennessee. Plant in 

 good, rich soil. Scatter stable manure 

 on the ground about the plants every 

 fall as long as they remain there. Do 

 not cut any flowers until the plants 

 have become firmly established; three 

 years is not too long to wait. After 

 they are through blooming do not allow 

 the stems to be broken oflf until they 

 have matured in the fall; better leave 

 them until spring. It is no use trying 

 tree peonies in the south, for they 

 will seldom bloom; the early frosts 

 kill the buds just about the time they 

 begin to start good in the spring.
