AMONG GEORGIA GROWERS. 
DISASTROUS TRUCK AND FRUIT SHIPMENTS. 
The demoralized condition of the cold storage service as illustrated 
by the disasters which overlook berry shippers is causing prospective 
peach shippers to consider the situation with great care. The peach 
shipping season will open early in June, and with the approach of the 
season the size ol the crop increases. Growers are hopeful that the 
moral influence of the experience in shipping berries will have such 
an effect as to readjust and rectify the faulty car service by the time 
the peach shipping season opens. 
The April freeze is said to have cost the Arkansas fruit region mil¬ 
lions of dollars. Peach buds in many portions of the state were de¬ 
stroyed, and in some sections the apple crop was injured. Straw¬ 
berries were also seriously affected. 
That there is extraordinary interest in peonies is more than suggested 
by the fact that a company has been organized near Baltimore for the 
express purpose of growing peonies to supply the Eastern and Middle 
Western markets. This will be known as the Glyndon Gardens Com¬ 
pany, with a stock of $20,000. The company expects to sell cut do¬ 
ers as well as roots.

of fruit and truck growers to and through the wonderful East Texas 
fruit and truck country. The round trip from St. Louis will consume 
about a week. The object will be to study conditions of fruit and

tomatoes, potatoes, etc. The big orchards will be visited and every 
opportunity given to see results. 
Many big growers, officers of State Horticultural Societies, experi¬ 
ment station experts, editors of farm and fruit papers from Northern 
States will be with us. A cordial invitation has been extended northern 
growers by the Texas Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association to 
visit Texas and attend their State meeting June 23d. Extremely low 
round-trip rate, special train for the party run on fast schedule—only 
one night on the road.
