rate of potash to the gallon of water applied 
after a watering with clear water. 
Under good culture and with spraying 
overhead green fly should not be in evidence 
but should it get a hold a spraying of diluted 
Antipest will destroy it in my experience. 
With the advent of the Spencer type, the 
sweet pea has assumed a greater importance 
than ever as a cut flower and the range of 
colors in the varieties now on the market is 
a large one. Not all of the varieties how- 
ever are up to exhibition standard and the 
exhibitor has to make a study of the varieties 
so as to select those considered best in their 
respective colors. 
A study of the descriptions of varieties as 
printed in the bulletin issued by the Ameri- 
can Sweet Pea Society and in the catalogues 
of seedsmen who specialize in sweet peas will 
greatly aid in making a choice. 
Probably what might be said to be the 
cream of the varieties listed this year were 
shown at the show in New York last year, and 
as the reports from “the other side” speak of 
very few new varieties as being improve- 
ments on those already in existance it is quite 
probable that those varieties which were in 
the ascendant last vear will continue to hold 
top places as leading kinds for some time 
to come.
