 Thlrty-MTCnth annual meeting, Beaton June 1012. 



The Wyoming Plant & Seed Breeding 

 Co., at Worland, Wyo., is making prep- 

 arations to add a nursery department to 

 its business. 



M. G. Black, manager of the Vine Hill 

 Nurseries, at Mount Pleasant, Tex., has 

 purchased a 400-acre farm two miles 

 south of town and will make use of the 

 ground in extending the company's 

 business. The total area of the nur- 

 series is now 556 acres. 



At a recent meeting of the Illinois 

 State Horticultural Society, held at 

 Champaign, a committee was appointed 

 to obtain funds for the protection of 

 orchards and nurseries front San Jose 

 scale. The members of the committee 

 are W. A. Aldrich, W. S. Perrine aad J. 

 C. B. Heaton. 



The Nursery Farm Co., with head- 

 quarters at Corpus Christi, Tex., has had 

 a party of surveyors in the field running 

 the levels for a levee along the Nueces 

 river for a distance of eight miles. This 

 will be completed in March and will re- 

 claim about 6,000 acres of valuable land. 

 2,000 acres of which will be in crop this 

 coming year. 



At the recent meeting of the Western 

 Association of Nurserymen, at Kansas 

 City, W. P. Stark, ex-president of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen, 

 and Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the Univer- 

 sity of Kansas, were appointed to go. to 

 Washington to oppose the Simmons bill, 

 but to work in the interest of a law 

 which shall afford all the benefits of fed- 

 eral inspection and regulation without 

 placing control of the trade's source of 

 supply on raw material uncurbed in the 

 hands of one individual. 



PEONIES FOS DECOBATION DAY. 



I should be pleased to have a list of 

 the best market varieties of peonies, 

 early enough to be in bloom for Dec- 

 oration day in southwestern Pennsyl- 

 vania. I. V. K. 



Among peonies suitable for Decora- 

 tion day blooming, the first and earliest 

 is TJmbellata Bosea, otherwise known 

 as Sarah Bernhardt, the earliest of alj 

 the Chinensis class — too early, iSi fact, 

 for ordttary seasons, but always to be 

 depended upon in a late season, when 

 other varieties fail. Among the well- 

 knowB standard varieties I would sug- 

 gest: Pestiva Maxima and The Bride 

 for white; Edulis Superba and Alexan-
