 vention and lunch will be served to those 

 present at the meeting. 



At our former meetings we have de- 

 rived much information from informal 

 discussion and if all who attend this 

 meeting would come prepared to ask 

 5ome question or relate some experience 

 in cultivation, treatment of diseases, han- 

 dling of flowers or in fact any subject 

 connected with the peony, the meeting 

 «ould be made of great value to all. 



The regular business meeting will be 

 held at 3 p. m., on the first day, June 8.

EARLY FLOWERING SHRUBS. 



Ezochorda Grandiflora. 



Exochorda grandiflora is one of the 

 most beautiful of our many Chinese 

 «hrubs. Occasionally it is cut back dur- 

 ing prolonged and severe winters, but 

 during the last few years it has come 

 through unscathed. When given a loca- 

 tion where it can have room to spread 

 and show its individuality, it will grow 

 ten to twelve feet in height and as much 

 in diameter. The pure white flowers are 

 borne in racemes of four to six. The 

 petals are spoon-shaped, very narrow and 

 separated at the base. The flowers have 

 a delightful odor. The buds before open- 

 ing are pearl-like, which has given the 

 plant the popular name of ' ' pearl bush. ' ' 

 The flowers of this interesting and at- 

 tractive shrub were well developed near 

 Boston this season May 28, a few days 

 later than usual. 



Rhodotypos Kerrioides. 



Ehodotypos kerrioides, the white ker- 

 ria, as this shrub is commonly called, is 

 •one of the prettiest of the Japanese May 

 flowering shrubs, the blooms being fully 

 open this season May 27. The foliage is 

 large and handsome. The syringa-like 

 flowers are pendulous and appear to some 

 extent during the whole summer. It 

 seems to succeed in almost all soils and 

 locations. In fall the shiny, black seeds 

 Are quite attractive. This shrub is worthy 

 of more attention from planters, it being 

 one of our most charming early flower- 

 ing shrubs. It succeeds best when plant- 

 ed in spring. 



Pyrus Arbutifolia. 



Pyrus arbutifolia, the familiar and 

 common chokeberry, is a shrub with a 

 densely branching habit, which can hard-

 bunches. The chokeberry is not at all a 

 fussy subject and seems to thrive almost 

 anywhere. It stands transplanting either 

 in spring or fall, and is one of our most 

 useful native shrubs.
