HORTICULTURE 



February 14, 1914 



BRITISH HORTICULTURE. 

 The National Chrysanthemum Society. 



The committee of the National 

 Chrysanthemum Society, London, have 

 decided to offer during 1914 a special 

 prize for the best anemone-centered 

 single, subject to certain conditions. 

 The following definition of a spray has 

 been adopted: "A spray is the last 

 flowering growth, consisting of one 

 stem with a central flower or bud, and 

 with its surrounding flowers or buds." 

 Three exhibitions are to be held, as 

 Hsual, this year, and a conference on 

 single Tarieties. 



Sweet Pea Novelties. 

 Jndging from the large amount of 

 attention which is being given to sweet 

 peas by the seedsmen in their trade an- 

 nouncements, there is no slackening in 

 the interest being taken in this charm- 

 ing flower. Phyllis is an improved 

 Mrs. W. J. Unwin. an orange scarlet- 

 flake variety; Zillah Smith is a pleas- 

 ing tint of primrose, edged with rose; 

 Constance Hinton is an acceptable ad- 

 dition to the white varieties, whilst 

 King White is in the same category. 

 Illuminator is an exquisite salmon- 

 cerise variety. Queen Wilhelmina is 

 likely to be very popular, owing to its 

 charming coral shade. Other excellent 

 kinds are: Cynthia, buff pink; Mrs. 

 a. P. Ward, bluish mauve; Papilio, red 

 maroon; Gustav Hamel, rosy salmon; 

 Charles Foster, pink, slightly shaded 

 with lavender, and Radiant, rich pink. 



A New Society. 

 At a meeting held at Moseley, it was 

 decided to form a National Viola and 

 Pansy Society. W. Waters Butlers 

 was elected president, and J. Bastock, 

 honorary secretary. Monthly meetings 

 will be held, and conferences have been 

 arranged for the summer, when cer- 

 tificates will be awarded to new va- 

 rieties. An exhibition will take place 

 in June, for which the president has 

 •ffered a challenge cup for competition.
