 peas. Julius Heurlin's silver cqp for 

 twenty-five varieties hardy perennials 

 went to William Swan, who showed an 

 excellent collection. Mr. Swan also 

 led for the 100-foot group of flowering 

 plants, taking the Connolly silver cup. 

 His geraniums were remarkably fine. 

 Mrs. Lester Leland, Eric "Weterlow gar-

Mrs. P. Dexter, James Salter gar- 

 dener, had the best collection of pansies. 

 The Standley prizes for perennials went 

 to Mrs. H. L. Higginson and Miss A. G. 

 Thayer, James McGregor gardener. For 

 Canterbury bells Mrs. H. W. Mason and 

 H. S. Grow, A. E. Parsons gardener, 

 were winners. In the geranium classes

 and Mrs. P. Dexter seventeen points. The 

 judges, William Downs and Thomas J. 

 Gray, performed their duties to the sat-

TO GROW WITH SWEET PEAS. 



Will you kindly inform us what flow- 

 ering plants are best to grow in a cool 

 house, with a night temperature of about 

 45 degrees? We will want them to 

 flower from December 25 to April 1. 

 We have a house in South Carolina, run- 

 ning north and south, 20x75, twelve feet 

 to the ridge and seven feet high at the 

 sides, with solid beds. On the center bed 

 we will plant sweet peas and we want you 

 to advise us as to the best flowering 

 plants for the two side beds, which will 

 stand the same temperature as the sweet 

 peas. B. F. C. 



There are a variety of plants which 

 can be had in flower from December 25 

 to April 1 in a house such as will grow 

 sweet peas well. The temperature is too 

 low for most of the carnations, although 

 you could do the Enchantress varieties 

 nicely in a'house which did not fall be- 

 low 45 degrees at night. As a rule, 

 however, carnations prefer a minimum 

 of 50 to 54 degrees. The carnations, if 

 grown, could easily be pinched so as to 



throw a good crop starting at Christmas 

 and would flower for several months. 

 Violets are by some successful specialists 

 grown with sweet peas. The single 

 Princess of Wales, if housed in your 

 latitude in the early part of November, 

 would be in good crop by the holidays. 

 It prefers a night temperature of 40 to 

 42 degrees, but does well if kept a trifle 

 warmer and given ample ventilation. 



You could, if desired, utilize the side 

 beds for a variety of bulbous stock, 

 spiraeas, azaleas and many other spring 

 blooming plants, but as you probably 

 want something from which you can pick 

 flowers constantly for several months, 

 we would advise either carnations, such 

 as Enchantress, or single violets. Our 

 own choice would be the latter, but in 

 your state, where winter temperatures 

 run so much higher, the carnations 

 would, no doubt, give better returns than 

 the violets. C. W.
