ARE YOU WITH US? 



Members and Friends of the Sweet 

 Pea Society of America: 

 Plans have been made to hold our 

 annual meeting and exhibition jointly 

 with the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society on July 13th and 14th next, 

 As president of this society it is my 

 desire that it should be the finest ex- 

 hibition of its kind ever held. Features 

 are already assured which have never 

 before been attempted. If you have a 

 piece of land available where you 

 could grow some sweet peas for this 

 show yon would be helping a good 

 cause at slight expense. A committee 

 ,..w iii v, ink on a preliminary 

 chedule which should be ready for 

 ibution about Dec. 1st so that 

 those Interested may have ample time 

 to study the features for which they 

 to compete. There will be special 

 hardeners, Com- 

 • is, Retailers, Amateurs, 

 l Children and School Gardens. 

 in behalt of the Sweet Pea Society 

 1 would like to hat tir enthu- 



. in your vicinity. If you could 

 hoots and your 

 i would mean 

 increased business tor you in time to 

 come. We ha d the 



ation of the M assa- 

 ils Horticultural Society, the 

 and Florists' Club of 

 on, the gardeners of Lenox, Bar 

 Harbor, the North Shore and other 

 There is no doubt as to the 

 mne of this event, but i very little 

 done now means a much greater suc- 

 Trusting you will act in this mat- 

 uorably, I am, 



Respectfully vours, 

 WILLIAM SIM, I'resident
