The Florists' Review

the edging be two rows thick where 

 the wide border is and one row where 

 the borders are narrower. You can 

 use continuous lines of one color, or 

 blocks. The latter would be far more 

 eflfective. If you use blocks, set the 

 plants fifteen to eighteen inches apart 

 in the rows, but run them a foot apart 

 next to the edge. I think if you re- 

 strict yourself to yellow and red col- 

 ors you will get the best effect. If 

 you use pink^ keep them all at one of 

 the ends. C. W. 



AMERICAN SWEET PEA SOCIETY. 



Supplementary Prize List. 



In a supplement to the schedule of 

 the American Sweet Pea Society's ex- 

 hibition at the San Francisco exposi- 

 tion June 4 there are five additional 

 classes. The most important of these 

 — and it may prove to be the most im- 

 portant on the whole schedule — is class 

 23, in which President Lester L. Morse 

 offers a $50 silver cup for the most 

 original floral design in sweet peas, 

 any size. Only sweet pea blooms may 

 be used, but any foliage is permitted. 

 This class is open to all florists, and is 

 expected to form a noteworthy addi- 

 tion to the exhibition. Those who in- 

 tend to enter should notify the secre- 

 tary ten days before the exhibition 

 what space they will require for their 

 exhibits. 



Medals are offered by the National 

 Sweet Pea Society of Great Britain for 

 the best trade display of sweet peas, by 

 seed growers and seedsmen only. 

 Further information regarding these 

 classes may be obtained from Frank 

 F. Cuthbertson, the society's secretary 

 for the San Francisco exhibition, 749

C. B. Gates. Mentor, O.— Two ■wholesale lists, 

 offering gladioli and hardy perennials. Both lists
