Missouri Valley Horticultural Soci- 

 ety. — Forty members attended the meet- 

 ing of this society, held March 19, at the 

 Coates House, Kansas City. Cold storage 

 of apples was the subject for discussion. 

 After exhaustive experiments it was 

 clearv shown that fruit spoils within 

 two days after being taken out. Apples 

 ought to last at least two weeks after 

 being taken out of storage, and any 

 system was pronounced a failure that 

 had the opposite effect. E. P. Diehl, of 

 Olathe, presented the society with a 

 historic gavel made from the trunk of 

 an apple tree that was planted at Osage 

 Mission in 1837. J. H. Durkee read a 

 paper on "Pears." A. Chandler told of 

 the best methods for ground planting. 



All owners of gardens should own the 

 five bound volumes of Gardening. They 

 only cost $12.

SWEET PEAS 



THE BRIDE 



THF RQinF This nove,l >' is a beautiful 

 ' ■"- WWIl'L large, white-seeded variety 

 which has been selected by Mr Lynch, of 

 Meulo Park, for the past four years. It is a 

 pun* white selection from Mrs. Eckford and 

 is the strongest germinator among all the 

 white-seeded varieties — so often poor grow- 

 ers. Grown for the cut flower market of San 

 Fram-isco in competition with the other 

 high-class whites like Blanche Hurpee and 

 Emily Henderson.it has brought the highest 

 figures over them all. taking first rank among 

 all the whites. -Mr. Lynch claims that it is 

 equal in size and form of any white variety 

 grown, and every seed will grow, an impor- 

 tant advantage, as the early plantings 

 always succeed. 



The Cornell Bulletin In naming the best Sweet 

 Peas of each color, classes The Bride first as a 

 white, with Emily Henderson second and 

 Blanche Burpee third. 



Prof. Tracy. In a recent review of some of the 

 newer Sweet Peas Bays: "The especial merit of 

 tblB variety (The Bride) Is In Its lenirth. Btrength 

 and grace of flower stem, and the disposition of 

 the b.ooms thereon, being one of our best sorts 

 In these respects, and forming an exceedingly 

 graceful bunch."
