The sccrelary of the Ont Hort. Assn. is en- 

 deavoring to secure some well-known speakers 

 from the U.S. to address meetings of horticul- 

 tural societies in Ontario. A letter has been 

 received from J. Horace McFartand, president 

 of the American Civic Assn., and one of the 

 best known speakers on civic improvement 

 and horticultural matters on the continent, in 

 which he' ofters to address meetings of horti- 

 cultural societies at a charge of $25 and his 

 expenses, the lantern for the stereoscopticon lec- 

 ture to be supplied by the local society. Usually 

 Mr. McFarland charges S50 a lecture and his 

 expenses, but he is willing to accept the lower 

 rate provided the societies will arrange to hold 

 their meetings successively. 



Any horticultural societies in the province 

 that would like to engage Mr. McFarland to 

 address a meeting during March or April should 

 'write to the secretary of the association, H. 

 B. Cowan, The Canadian Horticulturist, 507 

 Manning Chambers, Toronto. Mr, McFarland 



has a new lecture this year, entitled "A Cni 

 Against UgUness," which is said to be : 

 entertaining and attractive.

SWEET PEAS 



rsfORA uivwiiv 



This charming: variety especially takes its place easily in the 

 frontrankof pure whites, farout-distancing^ '* Dorothy Ecktord.' 

 which was hitherto considered the finest white, b«ing larger, 

 purer and finer form. It has the same bold, wavy standard as 

 ■• Gladys Unwin." and like all the progeny of same, it is true to 

 name and does not sport. Original sealed packet 35 



MRS. ALPRED WAXKIIVS 



A superb pink of "Gladys Unwin" lype. color a pale pink 

 much like the old "Princess Beatrice." which was ihought so 

 much of when it was introduced many years ajfo; but the flowers 

 of " Mrs. Alfred Watkins " are very much larger and have the 

 beautiful bold, wavy standard of "Gladys Unwin." It will be 

 found one of the best market varieiics for cut bloom. Original 

 sealed packet 35 



FRANK DOLBV 



A lovely pale blue, the same shade as " Lady Grisel Hamilton," 

 hut -very much larger, and being also bred from "Gladys 

 Unwin." it has the same bold, wavy standard and large size of 

 its parent. It is to-day the largest and finest pale blue Sweet 

 Pea. Original sealed packet .35 



E. J- CASTLE 



A magnificent addition to the "Gladys Unwin" class, with the 

 same large flowers and bold, wavy standard of its parent. The 

 color is a very rich carmine rose with salmon shaduig m the stand- 

 ard and this, over and above its other merits, has a rich strikinsr 

 effect especially in artificial light. Original sealed p.ickc-t .35
