Under date of July 12 E. G. Hill 

 writes me: "I have been considerably 

 interested in your notes on peonies ap- 

 pearing in the Review, and have noted 

 in particular your remarks about the 

 Mons. Crousse. Three years ago the com- 

 ing September we sent roots of several 

 varieties which we wished to have M. Le- 

 aioine pass upon. Among the number 

 was Mons. Crousse, and this is what he 

 says: 'We have no Mons. Crousse in 

 stock, but Mons. Crousse himself, who 

 saw the flowers, states that from his re- 

 membrance it is the right name for the 

 variety, a very fine one. ' Mons. Crousse 

 is a neighbor of IMons. Lemoine and we 

 understood when there that the newer va- 

 rieties and tlie larger part of the stc^>k 

 of ^lons. Crousse were purchased by the' 

 Lemoine firm, so you see what Mons. 

 Crousse himself has to say, and as he 

 raised Meissonier, it would seem as if he 

 ought to know. ' ' 



A. Dessert, in his manuscript of all 

 French peonies catalogued by tae French 

 up to and inducing 1902, does not men- 

 tion the variety Mons. Crousse. 



Eliot Coit in his Peony Check List 

 under date 1907, issued by the New York 

 College of Agriculture, fails to list the 

 variety Mons. Crousse, and his list em- 

 braces all varieties catalogued by all 

 countries up to tlie year the check list 

 was issued. 1 f:nl to find Mons. Crousse 

 in the current catalogues of the French 

 growers, and the query naturally arises, 

 who introduced Peony Mons. Crousse? 

 When was it introduced, and why had the 

 French never catalogued it? Mons. Le- 

 moine admits lie has no stock of it. Who 

 bas? Tt is identical with Meissonier we 

 have from several growers and is a fine 

 peony. 



No doubt the trial grounds at Cornel! 

 University will set us right in the matter.

APHIS ON CURRANTS. 



Will you please tell how to care for 

 our currant .buslies? The trouble is new 

 to us, although we have grown them 

 for more thai! twenty-five years. The 

 first growth of tlie trouble seems to be a 

 pink edge to tlie leaf. I took off most 

 of them as tliey grew larger. Later the 

 leaves looked like green blisters and were 

 nearly filled with small insects, like green 

 lice. Last year I gave them showers of 

 coal ashes, hoping the grit would kill the 

 lice. This year I made a saturated solu- 

 tion of whale oil soap and used nearly a 

 pint of it to ten quarts of water and 

 sprinkled twice a week. I also used 

 hellebore. Will you please tell me what 

 to do for thenW They stand in good 

 garden soil and the yield was good of 

 reds and poor of whites. H. W. 



Spraying with Whale Oil soap or kero 

 sene eiiuilsiou is the best remedy for the 

 aphis whicii attacked your currants and 

 which is a common pest. As the under 

 sides of the leaves are always affected, 

 it is ne<-essary to direct the spraying 

 materials from below, rather than above. 

 You can get a spray nozzle which will 

 «end nn u|)right stream. The ends of

 t 



slioots badly attacked had better be cut 

 off and burned, to prevent tlie lice from 

 spreading. While this is an injurious 

 pest, it works less harm than the im- 

 ported currant worm, or even the currant 

 borers. C.
