Leyland The peony or, as it used to be called m the early days, the plney is one of the most gen- erally grown of the perennials, particularly in the eastern part of the country. Almost every garden will have a collection of many of the diterent varieties. It grows to a height of from two to three feet and forms clumps of hand- some dark foliage that is very free from ravages of disease and insects. In the late spring the plants are covered by large handsome flowers. The chief colours are pink, white, rose. dark red and cream. They may be had in either single or double varieties. By a proper selec- tion of varieties it is possible to have peony blooms over a period of from four to six weeks. They prefer a rich, loamy, well- drained soil and a sunny ex- posure. They require plenty of moisture at blossoming time for best results. Heavy rains are apt to spoil the flowers after the buds break open. One of the chief advantages of the peonies is the fact that they do not r'equire as frequent transplanting as most other perennials. They require about three years to become well established and usually will not require transplanting for ten or fifteen years. Propagation is usually carried on by separation of the roots, it being necessary to leave a piece of the crown with each part separated from the main plant. New varieties are produced by sowing seed from the plants as soon as ripe. Roots will form the first season, but rarely will the tops appear until the second season. MRS. M. E. SOWDEN CHOSEN AUXILIARY HEAD hfra. M. E. Sowden was elected president at the annual meeting of the Womens'uxil- iary to North Vancouver Gen- eral Hospital. Other officers: Honorary president, Mrs. Good- win Johnson; first vice-presi- dent, Mrs. R. V. hIcCarley, trea- surer, hIrs. H. I Fraser sec- retary, Mrs. Geo. W. Anderson. J. B. Paine, chairman of thc hospital board, who presided during the election of officers, extended to the auxiliary the appreciation of the board of the work of the women's organiza- tion. Mrs. Goodwin Johnson, retiring president, was recipient of a handsome silver gift. Annual reports revealed a busy year during which 635 lin- en Articles were added to hos- pital supplies. is seldom that a better variety will be found than those already on the market, conse- quently few growers attempt to produce peony plants from seed, They rely more on the root divi- sion method. The foliage of this plant dies down each fall and should be cut ot about three inches above the ground in the early spring. In transplanting not more than two inches of soil should bo put over the top of the crown. I.iberal applications of fresh or rotted manure should be dug in around the plant in the spring. About the only disease sleet- ing peonies is called root rot. Another difficulty is failure of the buds to open. Several rea- sons sre advanced for failure of the buds to open. These are: Planting too deep; too close propagation--that is, the roots are divided up into too many pieces--and a disposition of cer- tain varieties to produce non- fiowering plants. It is not definitely known whether any of the above reasons are really the cause for failure of the buds to open. If you have that sort of a variety in your garden it is best to replace it with an- other and more satisfactory plant. The size and quality of individual blossoms may be in- creased by removing all but the very beat buds from the plant. Feed the plant with liquid man- ure during blooming periods.

Overington PIONEER BARBER 11th and hlaiune Expert Work Phone West 135To the Electors of West Vancouver: CHORAL SOCIETY IN FINE CONCERT The concert put on by the West Vancouver Choral Society last hIonday evening in the United Church was one of the flnest ever given by that organ- ization snd it is a matter for sincere regret, therefore, that s larger audience was not present to hear them apart from the fact that the proceeds went to the welfare funds of the various churches. The choruses were very well rendered, the blending of tone in the quieter numbers being very marked while the heavier numbers were given with a line robustness of tone. The West Vancouver Male Quar- tette were encored for their numbers, as were the soloists, Miss M. Wilson, Miss Elhs, IL W. Froud. and Major A. M. Las- ter. Special mention should be made of the violin solo, Riedings "A Hungarian Phantasy," by Miss Margaret Mclntyre, which was an extremely fine eifort. In response to the tumultuous ap- plause hiiss McIntyre gave "A Love Song." by Ssmartinl, which she played with great feeling. At the conclusion of the con- cert, Dr. Henry gave a vote of thanks to the Choral Society for their kindness in putting on the concert.
