The Banquet. 



Visitors, working committees and 

 exhibitors were entertained at an en- 

 joyable little banquet in the Copley 

 Square Hotel on Saturday evening. 

 President Methven of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of Boston presided. 

 President Kerr o£ the American Sweet 

 Pea Society was the first speaker. He 

 expressed his pleasure in visiting 

 Boston and meeting old friends. 

 William Gray told of the eccentricities 

 of the weather in Newport and the 

 destructive effects on sweet pea grow- 

 ing, of the long continued fogs that 

 sometimes envelop that island and 

 ruin the flower buds, especially when 

 the plants are making rapid growth. 

 James Wheeler, manager of the show, 

 expressed his appreciation of the hon- 

 orary membership which had been 

 bestowed upon him and told of his 

 love for the work devolving upon him 

 in exhibition management which he de- 

 clared to be one of the greatest pleas- 

 ures in life. Secretary Rich, of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 spoke for that organization, which he 

 said was always glad and ready to 

 welcome and extend all possible cour- 

 tesy to visiting bodies. Other speakers 

 were J. Harrison Dick, editor Florists' 

 Exchange, Prof. A. C. Beal of Ithaca, 

 William Sim, W. N. Craig and Wm.' J. 

 Stewart. Prof. Beal strongly empha- 

 sized the desirability of getting 

 amateur interest and support for or- 

 ganizations such as the Sweet Pea So- 

 ciety and urged co-operation to the 

 fullest extent with the Garden Clubs 

 and other amateur associations. The 

 visitors from Lenox had to leave be- 

 fore the speech-making began. 



A NATURAL WORM TRAP. 



A gardener in Wakelield has two 

 rows of peas that are now blossoming 

 and podding. He w-as greatly troubled 

 with the pests at first, chiefly little 

 green worms which ate voraciously. 

 He found after a few days that the 

 peas themselves had begun to defend 

 themselves from the worms, for in the 

 middle of several leaves he found the 

 worms crushed to death, and around 

 the leaves were wrapped tightly ten- 

 drils of the growing pea vines. — Boston
