should and must be treated alike. 
While it must be acknowledged (and 
we do so with unspeakable regret) that 
we are wholly responsible for the failure 
to mail the roses this spring as we prom¬ 
ised and felly expected to do, we trust 
our friends will regard the failure as one 
we had little reason to guard against at 
the time the promise was made. 
It only remains for The R. N.-Y. posi¬ 
tively to assure its readers that every or¬ 
der will be carefully filled and mailed 
soon as a sufficient stock can be 
be budded and grown for that purpose.

ARRIVAL OF JAPAN LILIES 
There seems to be plenty of evidence 
in favor of the Crosbey peach. There is 
little doubt as to its hardiness, but it is 
excellent in other respects. Mr. Charles 
Wright, a successful peach raiser of 
Delaware,pronounces it of delicious flavor 
and while not so large as Crawford or 
Oldmixon, it will often bear a crop when 
they fail. 
Another life-long peach grower of just so 
Delaware 6ays that the Crosbey has a 
beautiful color and is a perfect freestone 
W. D. Hinds of Springfield, Mass., says 
that it has borne a full crop for five years 
near the New Hampshire line; that it 
has endured 12 degrees below zero and 
borne immense crops while all other 
varieties were harmed or killed outright. 
Mr. J. II. Hade, of South Glastonbury, 
Conn., says that in one orchard of 5,000 
trees of Mountain Rose, Oldmixon, Stump 
and Crosbey the last was the only kind 
to yield a crop of fruit. It is the best 
yellow peach grown. The stone of the 
Crosbey is but half as large as that of 
the Late Crawford. 
What variety is hardier than the Cros¬ 
bey ? 
Our good friends who desire that we 
should try any of their novelties in the larger size, 
way of seeds, tubers or plants, will 
kindly send specimens to the editor, River 
Edge, Bergen County, New Jersey—not 
to this office. 
We stated two weeks or more ago that 
J. C. Vaughan of Chicago, Ill., claimed 
to be the introducer of the beautiful 
poppy named American Flag. We now 
find that the claim is well founded. 
If you could have but one, which would 
it be, cherries or robins? The R. N.-Y. 
votes for the robins. 
The eighteenth annual meeting of the 
American Association of Nurserymen 
will be held in Chicago June 7. A beau¬ 
tiful hall near the center of the fair 
grounds has been secured for the meet¬ 
ings. Secretary Chas. A. Green, Roch¬ 
ester, N. Y., learns that a half-rate re¬ 
duction will be made the members on all relieved,’ and cured, 
the railroads. He impresses upon all the 
necessity of getting together promptly 
at 9 o’clock, a m , June 7. 
Alluding to a recent editorial note in 
these columns regarding Kcelreuteria 
paniculata (Chinese Bladder Nut), we 
have since seen a specimen in Central 
Park that is not less than 25 feet high, 
while the trunk just above the soil is 
nearly two feet in diameter. But it is 
not a tree that one would select as he 
sees it in winter dress or undress. It 
blooms in July after the blooming period 
of most of our trees and shrubs. But its 
horse-chestnut-like panicles of inconspic¬ 
uous yellow flowers are at their best not 
very engaging. We regard the tree as 
overpraised by most nurserymen’s cat¬ 
alogues. 
A Disappointment. —When the 17 Rosa 
rugosa hybrid seedlings were placed in 
the hands of one of the largest firms in 
America for propagation. The R. N -Y. 
was assured that by May a large enough 
stock would have accumulated to enable 
us to supply the plants promised to 
all applicants. The nursery firm as¬ 
sumed that these 17 seedlings (or most of 
them at any rate) could in experienced 
hands be propagated the same as most 
other roses, viz., by cuttings. After try- 
j We have just received a large shipment of the finest Japanese Lily bulbs and are now 
offering them at the following very low prices. Now is the time to plant them outdoors. 
If ordered by mail add 7c. each to pay postage, as the bulbs ore extra large.
