sweet pea 's popularity, Mr. Jenkins coni- 

 jiared the sweet ])ea witli some other 

 well known jjarden flowers in respect 

 to ease of culture, cheapness, freedom 

 from disease, rapidity of development, 

 .'ulaptability to different sites, and con- 

 tinued production of flowers after pick- 

 ing- He asserted that the sweet pea is 

 superior in all these features. The fol- 

 lowing is a list of thirteen varieties 

 which Mr. Jenkins recommends as be- 

 inj; desirable: Constance Hinton, white; 

 Hercules, dark pink; Lady Evelyn Eyre, 

 Hyht j)ink; Felton 's Cream, cream; Mrs. 

 l>alton, cream; Kinfj Manuel, maroon; 

 H. V. Felton, lavender; Kosabelle, rose; 

 Scarlet Emperor, scarlet; Royal Purple,

 T^luejacket, dark blue; Maud Holmes, 

 crimson; Loyalty, blue-striped, and Jes- 

 sie Cuthl)ertson, pink-striped. 



Professor A. C. Beal lectured on gladi- 

 "li for the garden, giving cultural de- 

 |;iils and the results of Cornell varietal 

 investigations. He stated that there 

 are more than l.oOO varieties on the 

 inarket at the present time, and that the 

 -.000 mark will soon be reached at the 

 present rate. 



Garden and Culture. 



Professor Beal appeared again on 

 Wednesday morning, February I."), and 

 discussed the pruning and protection 

 f'f outdoor roses. He gave details of 

 ♦ he process of pruning both the bush 

 "nd climbing varieties, when setting 

 out, thinning and cutting back. 



The next speaker was Professor E. A. 

 White, whose subject was, "English 

 ^'ardens, Large and Small." Professor 



KICKS 



When I kick in these talks, I'm not kicking 

 just for Stumpp but in the interest of the entire 

 F. T. D. business. 

 Here, then, is a mule of a kick. 



There are two prominent Eastern florists who 



have been filling F. T. D. orders in a care-free 



way that reminds me of old Sam Sindle. 



Sam's a negro — an old timey one. 



A kind of handy man about our summer town. 



One day last July he was sweeping off our 



front walk with as little exertion as possible, 



when I unexpectedly appeared on the scene. 



In no uncertain terms I told him how lazy 



and worthless he was. 



To which he soothingly replied: "Now Mistuh 



Stumpp, you sure dun hurt old Sam's feeling. 



Sam sure ain't lazy. 



But he does admit inclining toward being 



economical -with his wuk." 



Which holds its own moral for those florists 

 who are so slightingly slighting F. T. D. orders; 

 apparently because the man who orders them 

 isn't there to see the indifference with which 

 they are filled. 



Happily, however, for all of us, most of us fill 

 our F. T. D. orders with even greater care, if 

 anything, than our own local orders.

White recently spent several months in 

 England, and his lecture dealt with the 

 observations made while in that coun- 

 try. Professor Bea! then spoke on out- 

 door rose growing as a recreation, and 

 mentioned varieties and methods of 

 culture. 



Wednesday afternoon, February 1.5, 

 Edwin Jenkins lectured on "The Flower 

 Garden and Its Color Effect." He spoke 



largely ujjon the results to be obtained 

 with annuals, using as a basis his own 

 experiences in producing a blue and 

 gold garden at Lenox, Mass. 



Thursday morning, February 16, Dr. 

 L. M. Massey, of the Cornell depart- 

 ment of plant pathology, lectured on the 

 diseases of florists' crops. He classed 

 as fundamentals the questions of sani- 

 tation and the sources of seeds and cut-
