IRISH GARDENING 



there he took a high place in the Royal Horticul- 

 tural Society's examination for employees in 

 Public Parks and Gardens. In 1918 he gained first 

 place in the final examination for the National 

 Diploma in Horticulture (Horticultural Instruc- 

 tion), and has consistently maintained his interest 

 in the sciences underlying the practice of garden- 

 ing. 



We are confident that Mr. Johns will continue 

 to progress in his new sphere and will rapidly gain 

 the confidence of his new employers. 



We wish him every success and happiness, and 

 hope that Irish Gardening, which has frequently 

 had the benefit of his experience, may still occa- 

 sionally hear from him in his home in the English 

 Riviera. 



The Sweet Pea Annual. 



It is a welcome foretaste of what we may expect 

 during the coming summer to see again the Sweet 

 Pea Annual, as interesting as ever. As a frontis- 

 piece, a beautiful coloured plate of Eawlmarl' Pink 

 creates a good impression. Thereafter we find 

 valuable and interesting articles and jottings by 

 well-known growers and Sweet Pea enthusiasts 

 from many lands. Mr. J. Stevenson writes oi " A 

 Feio Besults of Cross-fertilizing ," and we have a 

 note on " Sweet Peas in America," followed by
