 80 much Inferior seed of Sweet Peas Is on the mar- 

 ket, we think It only fair to state that we are per-

 plete failure. We wish to thank you for the care

A. Beverley, of Santa Barbara, gave 

 a demonstration of his adjustable irri- 

 gating sprayers before Park Superin- 

 tendent Shearer in Central park, De- 

 cember 7. Mr. Shearer expressed him- 

 self as well pleased with them and is 

 figuring on the cost of using them at 

 Exhibition park. It is quite likely that 

 tlie}' will be used on the San Francisco 

 fair grounds, as Mr. McLaren has sev- 

 eral of the machines in use and under 

 observation. There are so many spray- 

 ers on the market that I have become 

 rather chary of recommending any, but 

 these surely act well and are i)owerful, 

 covering large areas in a surprisingly 

 even manner and with practically no 

 run-off. 



I recently had the pleasure of a run 

 through Dr. Barlow's Sierra Madre 

 place in company with W. W. Felgate, 

 Ids capable gardener, .7. B. Feblman 

 and .Tohn Blake, of Pasadena. While 

 Mr. Felgate was undoubtedly lucky in 

 finding a good deal of vegetation on 

 the place, such as large eucalj-ptus 

 trees, palms and others, yet he has so 

 skillfully blended his new work with 

 the old that it forms one harmonious 

 whole which must be extremely satis- 

 factory to all concerned. A tennis court 

 and water garden have been made at the 

 west end of the ]dace and Mr. Felgate is 

 busy ])lanting this latter with bulbous 

 iind herbaceous subjects. This will make 

 an ideal spot for lilies. There is just suf- 

 fiiient shade cast by the eucalyptus 

 frees to prevent their burning, while 

 fliey will have ample light. Leading to 

 fhis from the north is a little coppice 

 '»r wood that would lend itself finely to 

 freatment at small expense. Among 

 'he specialties here we noted some ele- 

 J^aut beds of Nemesia strumosa Suttoni, 

 !t charming old annual that is not suffi- 

 'iently well known here, as it likes the 

 'iry atmosphere of California. Cocos
