 of all culinary peas are advanced. 



StHJ another sweet pea society is likely 

 to be organized. Scotchmen all along 

 have been warm supporters of the Na- 

 tional Society. Now, however, they are 

 moving Avith a view to forming a sweet 

 pea society for Scotland, and with well 

 known enthusiasts like Cuthbertson, Mal- 

 colm and Grieve at the helm, there is 

 every prospect of success being achieved. 



Edinburgh is the headquarters of two

 Scotland, namely, the Royal Caledonian 

 Horticultural Society and the Scottish

 late James Vick and edited by the late 

 Patrick Barry. Being for years in close
