ThcWcckly Florists' Review* 47

colors are the most brilliant. For cover- 

 ing the stumps of old trees and other 

 objects it is doubtful if there is any 

 other vine as serviceable as this one. At 

 any rate there is none that will do the 

 work more rapidly and effectively when 

 it once gets a good start. This vine 

 needs little protection in winter and the 

 little that it may require will be some 

 manure over the roots. M. 



EVERGREENS. 



Evergreens in nurseries require fre- 

 quent transplanting in order to give 

 them room for growth and development, 

 but when evergreens are planted on pri- 

 vate estates it will be greatly to the 

 benefit of the trees if at the very start 

 they are planted where they may be 

 allowed to remain permanently. In the 

 case of single specimens there will be no 

 difficulty attending such a disposition of 

 the trees, but when they are planted in 

 large or small groups some foresight and 

 a good deal of judgment will be required 

 to have things come out right at the 

 finish. Moving evergreens after they 

 have attained considerable size in almost 

 every case has the effect of a set-back, 

 in group planting, those intended to 

 remain should be placed at first in such 

 positions that there will be no necessity 

 for disturbing them. It is also a fairly 

 well known fact that in cutting the tap 

 root of some evergreens the character of 

 the tree is thereby changed considerably. 

 When planting evergreens in exposed 

 places it is a good plan, even if specimen 

 trees are preferable eventually, to plant 

 in groups for the sake of sheltering those 

 that will remain. R. R. 



EXPORTS OF NURSERY STOCK. 



The Bureau of Statistics of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture has 

 just made public the revised figures of 

 the exports of nursery stock for the last 

 three years, as follows: 



ExptH-ts to— 1904. 1905. 1906. 



Canada $71,062 $69,143 $82,017 



Cuba a6,653 62,881 48,11.1 



tiermany 9,060 14,700 15,078 



Mexico 15,57.3 19,771 36.532 



.Netherlands 12,576 10,697 22,360 



United Kingdom ... 120,730 23,930 23,597 



Other countries 22,226 18.101 14,367 



Total $287,880 $219,223 $242,056 



In this connection it is of interest to 

 note in last week's Review, page 34, 

 that our imports of nursery stock in 

 1906 were $1,617,622, so that the bal- 

 ance of trade is against us in the pro- 

 portion of almost eight to one. 



AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY. 



As chairman of the committee on 

 peony diseases, I wish to bring before 

 the attention of the peony growers of 

 the United States some lines of work 

 which this committee proposes to under- 

 take during the coming year, and to 

 ask their hearty cooperation in the 

 same. 



It is proposed, first, to bring togeth- 

 er all the literature bearing upon the 

 subject of peony diseases. This the 

 chairman of the committee expects to 

 complete during the coming year, and 

 will present a paper on the subject be- 

 fore the next annual meeting of the so- 

 ciety. In connection with this work it 

 is especially desired that all persons in- 

 terested in peony growing will send to 

 the chairman references to any litera- 

 ture on the subject of peony troubles 

 of which they may know. 



Second, we will endeavor to get to-

gether all of the observations and ex- 

 perience of peony growers with diseases 

 of the plant. This will include any ex- 

 periences they have had with diseases, 

 methods of treatment and success or 

 failure of the same. On this point it 

 will be necessary to appeal directly to 

 the grower, and it is hoped that every 

 one interested in the matter will write 

 out briefly. and clearly anything he may 

 have to oflfer and send it to us. 



Third, we shall endeavor to get to- 

 gether specimens of the different dis- 

 eases of peonies for the purpose of 

 studying them carefully imd making ex- 

 periments to determine their cause and 

 methods of their treatment. It is 

 planned to continue this work for a 

 number of years, in order that we may 

 arrive at some definite conclusions in 

 regard to the matter. Groiyers are 

 urged to send in any diseased plants 

 whenever they find them, transportation 

 prepaid, in return for which the chair- 

 man of your committee promises to give 

 whatever information he can in regard 

 to the trouble and to prepare from time 

 to time short articles on some common 

 and destructive disease, that will appear 

 for publication in the proper magazines, 

 etc. These specimens should be care- 

 fully wrapped in a box or stout pack- 

 age and mailed directly to our address.
