 society. Mr Joseph Meade, Old Connaught, 

 Bray, was awarded a cultural certificate and the 

 bronze medal of the society for tine specimens 

 of Iris Susiana, the Mourning Iris. 



National Sweet Pea Society. 



In consequence of the political unrest in Bel- 

 fast, the Irish Rose and Floral Society have 

 decided to abandon their show for this year, and 

 owing to the same cause the National Sweet 

 Pea Society will not be able to hold a provincial 

 show there this year. 



Schedules of the London Show may be had by 

 applying to the Secretary, Henry D. Tigwell, 

 Greenford, Middlesex. 



" Sanitas Powder.' 



It is quite amazing to note the number of 

 gardeners who are now using " Sanitas Powder " 

 to protect their hobbies. 



The value of " Sanitas Powder " was only 

 casually referred to the first time in IJH 1 in Mr. 

 W. P. Wright's well known book " The Garden 

 Week by Week." Since then fresh evidence of 

 its value seems to be continually cropping u]), 

 proving its ellicacy against not only slugs and 

 snails, but birds, cats, and insect pests of ail 

 kinds, and it is being used not only as a surface 

 dressing for beds and protection for grass seed, 

 but actually for digging into the bed when making 

 up, and for ]>utting into the bottom of every 

 drill when planting out. 



The makers have just issued a new leaflet 

 describing its many applications. 



Catalogues. 



Mehsus. E. a. White, Beltring, I'addock Wootl, 

 Kent, send a small booklet entitled " In a Perfect 

 Garden." It is a popular but ])i'actical treatise 

 on the eradication of garden andjgreenhouse ])ests, 

 giving a good description of how to get rid of 

 those which attack Roses, Carnations, &c. The 

 booklet should prove a useful one to growers, as 

 it is reliable and has been broiight up-to-date ; 

 it may be obtained post free on application to 

 Messrs. E. A. White.
