National Gladiolus Society. 



This Society held its summer show 

 in London, on August 4. The number 

 of exhibits was smaller than usual, 

 owing to the absence of entries from 

 the Dutch and French growers. New 

 varieties from the Society's trial 

 ground were brought before the Com- 

 mittee, and the following received an 

 award of merit: — 



Vanessa, Nonpareil, Picotce, Mrs. 

 Swalnson, Princess Patricia, and Mrs. 

 Robert Wordsworth, raised by Kelway 

 and Sons. Langport. Somerset. Wil- 



helm Steinhausen, Erica von Barczay, 

 raised by W. Pfitzer. White Giant, 

 raised by Van Meerbeck and Co. Red 

 Emperor, raised by K. Vethuys. 



Royal Botanic Society's Affairs. 



At the annual meeting of the Royal 

 Botanic Society, some of the speakers 

 contended that it was inadvisable that 

 dog shows, for which the Society's 

 grounds at Regents Park were made 

 use of, should be allowed to over- 

 shadow the main purport of the organ- 

 ization, which was to advance the cult 

 of flora and not the canine race. The 

 treasurer stated that the moment the 

 Society's financial position was secure 

 the Council would agree to get rid of 

 the dog shows, and would revert to 

 flower shows.

EDWIN JENKINS AND HIS SWEET 

 PEAS. 



The recent exhibits of sweet peas at 

 Boston and Newport by Edwin Jenkins 

 of Lenox, Mass., were indeed the tri- 

 umph of much care and attention to de- 

 tail in cultivation. The photograph 

 shows how Mr. Jenkins' sweet peas 

 respond to the liberal treatment he 

 gives them. The vines were grown to 

 single stems and reached a height of 

 eight to ten feet, with vigorous dark 

 green foliage and flowers of magnifl- 

 cent size and depth of color. 



The results accomplished bear out 

 the principle that if a thing is worth 

 crowing it is worth growing well and 

 anyone looking over this lot of plants 

 coiild but gather Inspiration to Im- 

 prove his own methods of culture and 

 not feel satisfled iintll be bad at least 

 tried his best to attain such perfection 

 as exemplillcd by the plants and flow- 

 ers In the accompanying picture.
