EUROPEAN NOTES. 



The National Sweet . Pea Society 's 

 floral committee had a full day's work 

 July 10, inspecting over 300 trials of 

 sweet peas at Beading, including a large 

 number of new varieties undergoing the 

 necessary test that qualifies for the so- 

 ciety's awards. The committee rigor- 

 ously excluded every variety that showed 

 a single rogue, as well as many others 

 that in their opinion were too much 

 alike or did not surpass in merit existing 

 varieties. Consequently the awards were 

 by no means numerous. 



The silver medal of the society and 

 r. C. G. were awarded to George Stark, 

 from George Stark & Son, Great Ky- 

 burgh; F. C. C. to Mrs. A. Ireland, 

 from Dobbie & Co., Bothesay and Marks 

 Tey; F. C. C. to Mrs. H. Bell, from T. 

 Bolton, Carnforth; A. M. to Constance 

 Oliver, from W. Lumley, Havant, and 

 A. M. to Paradise Ivory, from H. 

 Hemus, Upton-on-Severn. 



The above in the floral committee's 

 opinion are the best five varieties of the 

 year and the only awards that the N. S. 

 P. S. will make. Before giving future 

 awards the society stipulates that seed- 

 lings must be tested at the society's 

 trials. This insures that no awards 

 are granted until stocks are quite 

 fixed, and new varieties at later shows 

 must go to the trials next year. 



When the floral committee had done 

 its work a large number of N. S. P. 8. 

 members, after being hospitably enter- 

 tained at lunch by Leonard Sutton, of 

 the firm of Sutton & Sons, spent a few 

 hours among tbe trials, taking notes. 



A deputation of Hungarian -agricul- 

 turists visited a number of the leading 

 seed growing farms in Essex, England, 

 recently, and were greatly impressed by 

 the rigorous methods adopted to insure 

 purity of stocks. Sweet peas are exten- 

 sively grown in Essex, and a large party 

 of the N. S. P. S. members visited the 

 fields of Hurst & Son and Dobbie & Co., 

 in Essex, July 11. 



The crops of sweet pea seed are not 

 anticipated to be quite so short as at 

 one time expected. Eain came just in 

 time to save the situation. Of course, 

 all depends on the harvesting, but grow- 

 ers at one time saw no prospect's of any 

 weight of seed to harvest. On the other 

 hand, culinary peas have finished off and 

 the crop is below average. 



G. W. Kerr, a son of the late William 

 Kerr, Dumfries, Scotland, a well-known 

 grower of many good potatoes, has left 

 our shores and settled down with W. 

 Atlee Burpee & Co. at Fordhook. For 

 some years he was with Dobbie & Co., 

 and later he managed the extensive nur- 

 sery grounds of Baher's, Wolverhamp- 

 ton, where sweet peas, dahlias, pansies, 

 violas, etc., are grown on a large scale. 

 Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, 

 Middlesex, received an award of merit 

 from the E. H. S. July 7, for a new 

 hybrid fruit obtained by crossing the 

 loganberry and blackberry. It is named
