Menrlon The Review when vou writ* 



the committee is able to judge, subject 

 to the correction of auy errors which 

 may be discovered before the official 

 catalogue is finished and permanently 

 published. 



The third class will be eliminated from 

 further consideration, except as identifi- 

 cation follows in the natural progress of 

 the work, leaving only the varieties in 

 the second class upon which the work of 

 the committee will be concentrated next 



vear. 



Debt to Cornell. 



Prof. Craig says that tlie university 

 lias taken hold of this work, backed by 

 the state of >.'ew York, and they will 

 carry it to its final conclusion, even if 

 the Peony Society should go out of ex- 

 istence. They have already spent over 

 $700 on the bulletins printed for the 

 society. Several acres arc occupied by 

 the peonies, the use of the land and its 

 care being no small item. 



Mr. Fewkes, secretary of the society, 

 in a letter just received, writes as fol- 

 lows: "I think the society does not 

 realize what is being done for it by Prof. 

 Craig and his assistants, and what little 

 experience I have had in such matters 

 leads me to believe that the nomenclature 

 business would soon be in the same con- 

 dition in which the peony committee of 

 the S. A. F. find their efforts, had it not 

 been for Prof. Craig. I am glad the 

 society conferred honorary membership 

 on Mr. Batchelor. And when they come 

 to realize the amount of work he is doing, 

 I think they will be glad to honor him 

 in any way that seems fit." 



Prof. Whetzel gave me an interesting 

 account of his experiments with club 

 roots or nematodes, as some call them. 

 He has a choice collection of these grow- 

 ing in his garden, for experimental pur- 

 poses, and seems in a fair way to solve 

 this problem. 



In conclusion, I wish to say that it 

 seems to me every florist who grows 

 peonies commercially, and every amateur 

 whose special hobby is peonies, will find 

 it to his advantage to assist us, not only 

 by joining the society, but by giving us 

 the benefit of observations. It is surpris- 

 ing how much the growers have learned 

 individually during the last f6w years, 

 many of the errors which stand forth so 

 conspicuously in the Cornell plot having 

 long since been corrected in the cata- 

 logues of the donors; but there is still 

 plenty of work ahead.
