entirely upon the herbaceous class of peonies—particularly the 
albiflora varieties—the most common and easiest of cultivation, in 
time more thought will be given to the Moutan class, or tree peonies, 
which possess an entirely different range of color, many of them be¬ 
ing exquisitely beautiful in shade and texture. Preceding in their 
time of flowering the albiflora class, they widen the peony season 
very materially. It is true they are slow in coming to perfection 
and that grafting must be resorted to to perpetuate the varieties, 
but where love and skill are bestowed upon them these difficulties 
fade away and the reward is a ravishing display of beauty that will 
repay all the time and care given them. 
CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
To the Horticultural Trade: 
This society holds two annual fall exhibitions. They will be, 
this year, as follows: A Dahlia Exhibition, September 23 and 24 , 
at Unity Hall, Hartford; and a Chrysanthemum Exhibition, 
November 3 and 4 , at Putnam Phalanx Hall, Hartford. Other 
seasonable flowers, vegetables and fruits, will be represented; but 
the leading flowers, at the respective exhibitions, will be dahlias 
and chrysanthemums. 
In arranging the premium list, or schedule of prizes (which was, 
last year, a 24 -page pamphlet, and limited to 1,000 copies), we are 
planning to make it a much more voluminous and important 
document than we have ever before issued; and hence are desirous 
of obtaining many new advertisements for its pages. We hope to 
add half-tone engravings of the society’s leading officials, and to 
print 2,000 copies of the schedule; thus assuring wide publicity to 
all the advertisements contained in it. Rates for advertising will 
be, as heretofore, $5 per page and $ 2.50 per half page. 
You are hereby respectfully solicited to place an advertisement 
in this 1910 premium list. We have not enough of copies left last 
season’s list to forward one herewith for inspection, but any one 
desiring to see same is invited to write for a copy, which will be 
promptly furnished as long as the supply lasts. Last year’s 
schedule was 6 by 9 inches in size, was printed on the best glazed 
paper, and was generally recognized as a fine typographical produc¬ 
tion. We trust that the new one will be fully equal in those respects 
and contain many additional pages. Electrotypes or half-tone 
engravings can be inserted', if desired, in advertisements, if they 
are furnished by the advertisers. Copy for such advertisements 
should be promptly sent to the undersigned; and payment for the 
space taken need not be made, if so desired, until autumn. We 
shall be glad to receive your patronage in this behalf. A copy of 
the schedule, when printed, will be sent to each advertiser.

Pecans. North Carolina Dept, of Agr., Raleigh. Vol. 30, No. 9. 
By W. N. Hutt. 
“Commercial pecan culture is one of the most promising horti¬ 
cultural possibilities of the South,’’ says the state horticulturist, Mr. 
W. N. Hutt, after three years of observation and research upon the 
subject of pecan culture in North Carolina, and he urges every land- 
owner in the pecan region in addition to his home plantings for 
shade and family use, to utilize all his waste land by pecan cultiva¬ 
tion. Thousands of acres of land lying within the overflow region of 
rivers, if planted to pecans, would become the most valuable lands 
in the state. 
The pecan is a native of the Southern Mississippi Valley, but 
seems to thrive wherever cotton does, as well as considerably north 
of the cotton belt. It is found growing and thriving on almost 
every type of soil in the South, the subsoil and drainage conditions 
rather than the nature of the surface soil being the important 
factors.
