AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY. 



The fourth annual meeting of the 

 American Peony Society is to be held 

 in the new buildings of the New York 

 State College of Agricnlture at ColTiell 

 University, Ithaca, N. Y., June 18 and 

 19. There are many reasons why this 

 meeting promises to be an interesting 

 and important one. There will be an 

 exhibition of blooms staged in the audi- 

 torium of the college, which will repre- 

 sent the best productions of the various 

 growers in the country. Besides this 

 there is an extensive collection of varie- 

 ties comprising 1,933 lots of one, two or 

 three plants each, growing on the Ex- 

 periment Station grounds, which have 

 been donated by peony men all over 

 Europe and America. These blooms will 

 be available for study to all those in- 

 terested. A check-list, including all 

 names ever published with descriptions, 

 and giving references to sources and in- 

 dicating all pictures, will be available 

 for use at this meeting. Questions of 

 nomenclature bearing upon the authen- 

 ticity of varieties and the grouping of 

 synonyms will be brought up for discus- 

 sion. 



The society offers its usual list of 

 premiums for displays of cut blooms. 

 The business session will be held on the 

 afternoon of the first day. An address 

 will be given by J. E. Coit, of the col- 

 lege horticultural department, who has 

 had charge of the test collection. 



The meeting, coming as it does in 

 commencement week, will give an op- 

 portunity to visitors to inspect all 

 buildings of the university, and pleasure 

 parties may be made up to visit some of 

 the many interesting and beautiful 

 waterfalls, gorges and lakes, for which 

 this region is famed.

CAROLINA POPLAR. 



There is a considerable scarcity of 

 trees of Carolina poplar in sizes above 

 2% -inch caliper. In a large measure re- 

 sponsibility for tbe shortage is due to 

 the real estate booms which have been in 

 progress for the last year or two in sev- 

 eral sections of the country, but notably 

 in the east. The Carolina poplar is the 

 real estate boomer's tree par excellence. 

 The nurserymen can afford to sdl it at 

 a price uelow the prices of the same sizes 

 of better trees, because of its rapid 

 growth and because they can plant it 

 with every assurance that it will grow. 

 Again, it makes a fine appearance sooner 

 after planting than almost any other 

 tree, and it is the real estate man's am- 

 bition to get his subdivision on the mar- 

 ket as quickly as possible. 



The Carolina poplar also is excellent 

 for use as a screen. / An instance of the 

 way it may be employed is a planting 

 by the Peterson Nursery, Chicago, put in 

 two seasons ago. A certain piece of 

 property backed up to the Illinois Cen- 

 tral railroad embankment and the owner 

 wished to shut off the view. The Peter- 

 son Nursery planted 3-inch Carolina pop- 

 lars eight feet apart and trimmed them 

 closely on both the railroad side and 

 property owner's side, with the result 

 of forcing the growth to the untrimmed 

 sides. The branches quickly interlocked 

 and made an impenetrable screen. 



Nurservmen are working up larger 

 stocks of" Carolina poplar, feeling sure 

 - of a continued good demand.
