AHEBICAN AgSOCIATION OF NCBSEBYHEN. 



Officers for 1908 9: Pres., Charles J. Brown, Ro- 

 chester, N. Y.; Vice-Pres., C. M. Hobbs, Bridge- 

 port, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seager, Rochester, 

 N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. The 

 84th annual convention will be held at Roches- 

 ter, June 9 to 11, 1909. 



The nursery farm of T. N. Yates & 

 Bro., east of North Wales, Pa., has been 

 sold to Win. M. Frost, of Holmesburg. 

 The farm consists of 198 acres. 



It is confidently expected the Roches- 

 ter convention of the American Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen, June 9 to 11, will 

 bring out the largest attendance in the 

 history of the organization. 



Klehm's Nurseries, Arlington 

 Heights, 111., say that "the M. Jules 

 Elie peony is one of the finest pink 

 varieties and is a strong, robust grower, 

 the only objection being the short stem. 

 We have not had much experience in 

 growing this particular variety and so 

 cannot say much about its keeping qual- 

 ity. ' ' 



George C. Seager has been secretary 

 of the American Association of Nursery- 

 men since 1893, having been elected at 

 the world 's fair meeting in Chicago. The 

 association, in all its thirty-three years, 

 has had but three secretaries: D. W. 

 Scott, of Galena, 111., from 1876 to 1887; 

 Chas. A. Green, Rochester, from 1888 to 

 1892, and Mr. Seager for the latter half 

 -of the life of the organization. 



PEONY SCX:iETY. 



The next meeting of the American 

 Peony Society will be held at Cottage 

 Gardens, Queens, N. Y., on Tuesday and 

 Wednesday, June 8 and 9, 1909.

FIELD GETS TERRY PEONIES. 



It Ls well known in the nursery trade 

 that the collection of peonies of the late 

 H. A. Terry, Crescent, la., was one of 

 the largest in the country, and it will in- 

 terest all nurserymen to know that this 

 collection has now passed to the Henry 

 Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, la., Mr. 

 Field having recently purchased the en- 

 tire stock from the Terry estate. The 

 Terry collection, while it includes large 

 numbers of the standard varieties, is 

 largely made up of sorts raised by Mr. 

 Terry himself, and which have proven 

 specially adapted to western climatic con- 

 ditions. In speaking of his purchase Mr. 

 Field said: "This collection is said to 

 be one of the finest in the United States. 

 Mr. Terry has been a grower and hy- 

 bridizer of peonies for over forty years 

 and at the time of his death a few 

 months ago left a large and fine collec- 

 tion. I expect to move it down to my 

 grounds this fall and will probably issue 

 a special catalogue on the peony." 



ARBOR- VITAES FROM SEED. 



I would be under obligations to you if 

 you would please give me some pointers 

 on arbor-vitffs. I have bought and 

 planted at different times about twenty- 

 five and not one has grown. How are 

 they raised from seed and what time of 

 year are they planted? W.B.J. 



Seed of arbor-vita's may be sown in 

 shallow flats in the fall and the flats

placed in a greenhouse. When the seed- 

 lings are large enough to handle, they 

 should he put into small pots and kept 

 growing until well on in spring, when 

 they may be planted outdoors in the open 

 ground, in a sheltered, partially shaded 

 location. 



There should not be any difficulty ex- 

 perienced in growing them. There must 

 have been something seriously wrong in 

 the soil, location or treatment when none 

 of those planted grew. I never lose five 

 out of a hundred seedlings. The young 

 seedlings need careful watering and some 

 shade until they get established in pots 

 and in the open ground. 



If it is not convenient or feasible to 

 sow the seed in the fall, when ripe, the 

 ■seed may be stratified — that i.s, kept in 

 sand in a cool place — until spring, and 

 then sown indoors or out. 



Arbor vita's can also be grown from 

 cuttings, taken in summer. These should 

 be put in soil composed in great part of 

 leaf-mold and sand. After the cuttings 

 are in, they should be well watered and 

 shaded and never allowed to dry out 

 until they are rooted, which should be, 

 under favorable conditions, in about six 

 weeks. When the cuttings are well 

 rooted they nmy be planted farther

EARLY FLOWERING SHRUBS. 



Dirca palustris, better known as the 

 Leatherwood, is one of the earliest flower- 

 ing shrubs grown, being in full flower 

 this season, in the vicinity of Boston, the 

 first week in April. This is a rather 

 curious shrub, of low growth, sometimes 

 resembling a miniature tree. The leaves 

 are yellowish green and the flowers yel- 

 low in color. The bark was at one time 

 much used by the Indians for making 

 fish lines and bow strings, and has great 

 strength. It is usually found in a native 

 state in woods and thickets, and seems 

 to prefer wet soil. Some masses of this 

 early flowering shrub in the Boston 

 ])arkway system were very effective in 

 early spring.
