TRIALS OF SWEET PEAS. 



W. W. Rawson & Co., of Boston, Mass., 

 are conducting a series of interesting 

 trials of new varieties of sweet peas, 

 particularly of the Spencer type, at Raw- 

 son 's Dahlia Farm, Marblehead, Mass. 

 From the reports received, the sweet peas 

 are just coming into bloom and no doubt 

 there are many surprises in store for 

 those who can find the time to study 



them. 



Seventy-five varieties are growu here 

 in an exhibition manner and, from the 

 appearance of the plants, some excellent 

 flowers should be expected. This firm 

 expects to attend the sweet pea show at 

 New York with an exhibit, and invites 

 the different florists in the neighborhood 

 of that city to avail themselves of this 

 excellent opportunity of seeing the later 

 introductions of European growers. 



HAARLEM JUBILEE SHOW. 



Tl»e jubilee exhibition at Haarlem, 

 Holland,' in the spring of 1910, will be a 

 large affair. The complete program 

 forms a book of eighty pages in the 

 Dutch language. It contains lists for 

 four exhibitions, and of the prizes ac- 

 companying them. There are, besides 

 the prizes of honor from royalty and im- 

 portant authorities, seventy-five gold 

 iiiedals and about 2,500 prizes. Only 

 Dutch exhibitors may compete for these, 

 though the juries are international 

 throughout. The permanent exhibition 

 in the open air. to be held from March 

 28 to May 16, 1910, consists of 200 

 classes. The first special exhibition, from 

 March 23 to 31, containing 275 classes, 

 will chiefly consist of hyacinths, tulips, 

 narcissi, crocuses, amaryllises and other 

 bulbs and tubers in pots. A special 

 division is set apart for retarded tuber- 

 ous plants; and other important classes 

 include rhododendrons, roses, lilacs, other 

 shrubs, stove and greenhouse plants, and 

 cut flowers. The second special exhibi- 

 tion consists of 300 program numbers, 

 and will be held from April 15 to 24. It 

 will in its general features resemble the 

 first, while the third special exhibition, 

 from May 4 to 12, will consist chiefly ot 

 orchids and objects of the florist's art. 

 The usual judging of novelties will take 

 place in tlie exhibition halls during the 

 exhibition. 



EXHIBITION AT ZEIST. 



A great exhibition will be hehl this 

 year, from August 25 to September 16, 

 at Zeist, near Utrecht, Holland, by the 

 DuU'h Horticultural Society. I>ast year 

 the programs were distributed through 

 Holland and the neighboring foreign 

 countries, and the attention of different 

 horticultural centers has been drawn to 

 the importance of the exhibition by the 

 Netherland consuls. That the exhibition 

 will in reality be of great importance 

 and merit can be seen in the program, 

 which provides for exhibits of practically 

 all seasonable plants and cut flowers. 

 Several foreign professionals will be in- 

 vited to be members of the jury. The 

 entries, which will not be closed until 

 July 15, promise a great success.
