 work of nursery inspection.

■ D. S. Lake, the well-known nursery-

 packing sheds. 



Among the many improvements which 

 will be made in Montgomery, Ala., this

 which will be established within the 

 near future. The enterprise is in the 

 hands of prominent business men, and

 elaborate chapel entrance, greenhouse 

 and other accessories. 



THE PEONY ♦♦SET.'* 



At the height of the peony season the 

 Cleveland Plaindealer published a half 

 page of peony pictures, accompanied by 

 the following signed by E. A. Beeves, 

 which will interest the trade: 



"The season has given the peony a 

 rigid test as to the relative merits of the 

 different varieties to withstand adverse 

 climatic conditions. During the latter 

 part of March we experienced two weeks 

 of warm weather, which pushed many 

 peony buds above the ground. Then 

 came two months of the most unpleasant 

 weather, with freezing and thawing, hail, 

 rain and snow. 



"Some sorts have been sensitive and 

 the buds on these were shrunken and 

 shriveled and gave no flowers. Then we 

 find other varieties unable to stand the 

 wet weather and their buds decay and 

 fall oflF. However, the crop of blooms 

 that are now in their glory, is proof 

 that most sorts of peonies are more pa- 

 tient and better poised than many of us, 

 who enjoy their charming fragrance, 

 form and color. 



"We are learning more and more 

 about the peony and which varieties grow 

 the best in this locality. Many com- 

 plain that their peonies give no flowers 

 and this may be due to two causes. 

 First, it must be remembered that some 

 varieties are naturally shy bloomers un- 

 less the soil and other conditions are es-

pecially favorable. Again, we have dis- 

 covered that the most prolific bloomers 

 sometimes get a disease or perhaps we 

 should say into a condition which for 

 lack of a better term we will call the 

 'set' We are not prepared to say 

 what the cause of this condition is, but 

 it is safe to say that it is next to im- 

 possible, if not quite impossible, to 

 bring a peony which has once fallen into 

 this 'set' condition back to a normal 

 plant. 



"If peonies throw up a great number 

 of weak shoots about one foot high and 

 which bring no flowers, they no doubt 

 have taken on the ' set ' condition and are 

 worthless. 



"Better in buying to get roots with 

 a few strong buds than one with nu- 

 merous small buds." 



DIPPING TREES. 



To kill San Jose scale, we dipped 

 over 2,000 young trees in the spring of 

 1902 in lime, sulphur and salt solution 

 made at the ordinary strength for spray- 

 ing. It certainly killed the scale and did 

 not hurt a tree that I know of. Of course 

 much of the solution got on the roots, 

 and last fall I saw an orchard of about 

 1,000 of those trees, and they had shown 

 no evil effects, neither had the scale sur- 

 vived the treatment. I have bought ev- 

 ery spring many thousands of apple 

 seedlings, which were often shipped 

 2,000 miles, sometimes 7,000 miles (from 

 France), to the Pacific coast, and if there
