OPINIONS OF THE PRESS 



DAILY MAIL, July lOth, 1919 (National Sweet Pea Show) 



'* No one ever anywhere has had his eyes, and hideed nose, quite so overwhehned as when he stood 

 in front of Alex. Dickson & Sons' exhibit of loo bunches of Sweet Peas, a g-ood number quite 

 new in character as well as in name. The Sweet Pea of the year, if not of all previous years to boot, 

 is ' Hawimark Pink.' Five blooms to a stalk are common, and I found one stalk with seven."

''The wealth of Sweet Peas shown, however, came from the trade, at the head of which we 

 place Messrs. Alex, Dickson & Sons, Ltd., who showed their ' Hawimark ' Strain in prime 

 condition, gaining the only large Gold Medal awarded on the occasion. Outstanding varieties 

 even in this highly meritorious exhibit were ' Hawimark Pink ' v\hicli one might be excused 

 saying must have reached the topmost rung in the pink ladder, so very fine is it. Indeed 

 It Is UNIQUE, almost epoch-making." 



THE GARDEN, May 31st, 1919 (New and Rare Plants at Chelsea Show). 



" Sweet Pea ' Hawimark Pink.' We think this one of the finest Sweet Peas we have seen. It is both 

 large and handsome and beautifully coloured. The standards are of clear salmon pink, the 

 wings almost rose pink. It is lovely in the extreme. Sweet Pea 'Brocade.' The dominating 

 colour is rose, the standard of a paler hue'on the under sides. Both were shown by Messrs. 

 Alex. Dickson & Sons, Ltd., and both received Awards of Merit." 



" Messrs. Alex. Dickson & Sons, Ltd., have three of their ' Hawimark ' novelties admirably 

 grown and convincingly staged. Dozens of vases oFeach are on view, so that no sorting out 

 is needed, and growing plants in boxes which afford a good idea of habit and flowering. 

 The varieties are Brocade, Hawimark Pink (shades of salmon and deep pink), and Daisybud (a 

 lovely thing in flesh and apple-blossom tints throughout). Our readers have got their choice, 

 though we plump for No. 2 ; it is really superb. Gold Medal."
