and the beautifully flowered stock also 

 clambering on walls and over fences. 

 The arrangement, in its way, showed 

 as high an order of skill as did the con- 

 dition of the stock. These two ex- 

 hibits would have been a sensational 

 feature in any show less stupendous.

SWEET PEAS. 



The National Sweet Pea Society put ' 

 on an exhibition at Boston, March 28, 

 that for number and quality of blooms 

 was one of the surprises of the national 

 exhibition. Of cut blooms there were 

 only three exhibitors, but William Sim, 

 of Cliftondale, Mass., put up no less 

 than 13,000 flowers in more than a dozen 

 varieties and including the whole 

 range of colors. His flowers were all 

 on stems fifteen inches long and created 

 a sensation. Less extensive, but hardly 

 less interesting, was the display of the 

 Halifax Gardens Co. Anton Zvolanek 

 also staged a large number of winter 

 flowering varieties, including ipany 

 new ones. 



The judges were J. 8. Brunton, Wm. 



Duckham and C. H. Totty. They 

 awarded to Mr. Sim eight first pre- 

 miums for vases of 100 and seven 

 firsts for vases of fifty of the separate' 

 colors. Mr. Zvolanek was first for 

 fifty blue and for two classes for novel- 

 ties, also second for fifty salmon pink. 

 The Halifax Gardens Co. wa*"- second 

 on three vases of 100 each. For eight 

 distinct varieties, 100 of each, Wm. 

 Sim was first, Halifax Gardens second. 

 The same awards were made for ten 

 dist'nct varieties, twenty-five of each, 

 and for the Boddington prize for ten 

 varieties, fifty of each. Mr. Sim won 

 the Lord & Burnham gold medal for 

 display of 1,000 blooms. 



Three retailers competed for the 

 prizes offered for work with sweet peas. 

 On table decoration, Penn was first, 

 MacMulkin second. On basket, Hoff- 

 man was first, the Boston Cut Flower 

 Co. second. On bride's bouquet the 

 Boston Cut Flower Co. was first and 

 Penn second. Hoffman 's basket was 

 simply perfect in color, combination 

 and arrangement.
