THE CLEVELAND HORT. SOCIETY 



The regular montlily meeting was held 

 April 9, with Mr. Bryd'on in the chair. The 

 usual business was trnasacted, three new 

 members being elected. 



The exhibits of the evening were excep- 

 tionally fine, Mr. Francis being awarded a 

 certificate of merit on eight vases of sweet 

 peas which he had grown for W. A. Burpee 

 & Co. The colors ranged in white, pinks, 

 and lavenders, with stems on an average of 

 twenty inches, carrying three and four large 

 and beautiful flowers, far superior to the 

 old Winter flowering varieties. The varie- 

 ties exhibited were Early Lemon Beauty, 

 Early Fire King, Mrs. Kerr, Early Pink 

 Beauty, Early Loveliness, Early Fairy 

 Queen, Early Exquisite, Early Rosebud, 

 Early Bluejacket, and Early Daintiness. 



Mr. Francis explained his manner of cul- 

 tivation to the members, informing them the 

 beds were dug about eighteen inches deep 

 and mixed with well-rotted manure and 

 bone meal. The plants were thinned to six 

 inches apart and run to single stems, all 

 lateral growths being pinched out. The 

 seed was sown in October, 1921, and grown 

 cool. 



Mr. Broadfield exhibited Antirrhinum. 

 White Giant, and was awarded a certificate 

 of merit. He explained that the antirrhi- 

 nums run six-foot stems, with about eigh- 

 teen-inch spikes. They were grown very 

 cool, with plenty of air and little feeding in 

 the usual depth of benches. The clarkias, 

 exhibited by Mr. Broadfield and receiving 

 honorable mention, cut four-foot stems. 

 They were grown cool in six-inch pots. 



A. D. Taylor, landscape architect, gave 

 a very interesting talk on the problems of
