fine; to L. A. Martin, gardener to W. H. S. Wood, Greenwich, 
Conn., for seven vases of 100 blooms each of sweet peas, each 
of a variety, also for collection of herbaceous perennials. The 
sweet peas were from fall-sown seed and were superb. Salopian, 
Peach Blossom, Countess of Radnor and Boreatton were some of 
the varieties.

Manda, South Orange, N. J. It is a seedling of R. Wichuraiana

It also has glossy foliage. A certificate of merit was granted to 
the novelty.
