 Our Campaign is handled at the least 

 possible expense — in fact, we might 

 easily substantiate a claim to first 

 place among all similar campaigns 

 financed as we are. We have reached 

 the goal which has been our object 

 from the start, and which should now 

 be our anchor. It is up to those who 

 have not yet supported the movement 

 to maintain our anchorage and help us 

 forward to the greater possibilities 

 which are in sight

SWEET PEA SHOW IN BOSTON. 



Annual Exhibit of the Amerxan 

 Sweet Pea Society and Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural 

 Society. 



If the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society had been obliged to depend 

 wholly iipon local exhibits, the show at 

 Horticultural Hall last Saturday and 

 Sunday would have been a moager one, 

 for peas around Boston were not in 

 good condition. As it happened, how- 

 ever, the annual exhibit of the Ameri- 

 can Sweet Pea Society was held at the 

 same time, with the result that a very 

 creditable show was made. The larg- 

 est exhibitor was the W. Atlee Burpee 

 Co. of Philadelphia, which had its 

 peas arranged in an alcove against a 

 background of black velvet in such a 

 way as to produce an exquisite effect. 

 Other prominent exhibitors were Mrs. 

 S. D. Riddle of Glenriddle, Pa.. Geo. 

 Annan Gardener; William G. Taylor of 

 Newport ; Alice M. Forbes of Worcester 

 and Allan J. Jenkins of Shrewsbury. 



Besides the sweet peas, there were 

 many other exhibits, including a fine 

 lot of perpetual roses shown by Mrs. 

 Lester Leiand, Eric Wetterlow, garden- 

 er, of Manchester, Mass., as well as a 

 good collection of vegetables and small 

 fruits, those from Hillcrest Farm at- 

 tracting particular attention. 



Mr. A. C. Burrage of Beverly had his 

 montlily display of orchids, and Mr. 

 Thomas Roland of Nahant showed a 

 table of cypripediums which won much 

 favorable comment. Few new plants 

 were offered, but one, a new yellow 

 tuberous begonia, shown by Mrs. Le- 

 iand, was a conspicuous feature. This 

 begonia has been named Frau Hcllen 

 Harms and is exquisite in form and 

 color. 



Among the out of town visitors 

 noted were John C. Wister of Philadel- 

 phia, Wm. Gray, secretary of the New- 

 port Horticultural Society and John S. 

 Hay of the Henry A. Dreer Co.
