Holland Park Show. 
(Concluded from page 494.) 
Messrs. Dobbie and Co., Rothesay, 
had a grand exhibit of Sweet Peas 
in beautifully fresh condition. Among 
notable varieties were the huge flowers of 
Mrs. Haidcastle Sykes, Mrs. Collier^ 
Dora Breadmore and King Edward VII. 
The tuberous Begonias of Messrs. 
Blackmore and Langdon, Twerton Hill 
Nursery, Bath, were scarcely in bloom at 
the Temple Show, but were in grand form 
at Holland House. Double forms are 
now the most popular amongst this class 
of plants, especially for pot work, and im¬ 
provements continue to be made amongst 
them chiefly. Besides the upright form, 
holding the bloom well above the foliage, 
this firm is now giving some attention to 
drooping varieties suitable for basket 
work. They also staged a number of 
double forms of Delphiniums. 
Mr. A. LI. Gwillim, Cambria Nursery, 
New Eltham, Kent, also staged a group 
of tuberous Begonias of a high quality. 
The tendency is to produce flowers hav¬ 
ing the regularity of the Camellia or the 
beautiful waved form of a double Holly¬ 
hock. For most people a flower of some 
delicate self colour is found to be the most 
effective and appreciated. 
Mr. T. Jannoch, Dersingham, Sand¬ 
ringham, had an interesting exhibit of 
Lily of the Valley, which being now out 
of season, becomes interesting on account 
of its pure white sweet-scented flowers of 
large size. These, of course, have been 
grown from retarded crowns. 
Schizanthus 
wisetonensis. 
Amateurs with small, cool greenhouses 
and gardeners with large conservatories 
are usually glad of a plant which grows 
easily and flowers freely. Such a plant 
is the Schizanthus. 
There are several varieties of the 
plant differing slightly in the form and 
colour of the flowers. The best variety 
to grow, however, is Schizanthus wise¬ 
tonensis, as it is more compact and its 
habit of growth decidedly the best. The 
flowers are produced on spikes branching 
from every joint of the stem, and thus 
producing a mass of bloom. 
Seed can be sown in the spring and 
early summer for succession of bloom, 
though I think the best time to sow is in 
September or October. The seedlings 
can be grown in a cool greenhouse 
through the winter, and will then produce 
a fine show of flower in the early spring 
when blooms are scarce. 
Seedlings should be potted into small 60 
pots, and thence into 5 or 6 inch pots, in 
which they will flower. The young 
plants must not be allowed to get at all 
pot-bound before the final potting, or 
they will flower prematurely. Ordinary 
compost is all that is required. 
Schizanthuses may also be planted out in 
the border during the summer months.

The “Joseph Lowe” Rose. 
At the Royal Horticultural Society’s 
Show on July 9th, amongst, the triumphs 
of hybridisation exhibited was Messrs. 
Lowe and Sawyer's hybrid Tea Rose, 
which is named the “Joseph Lowe.” This 
was adjudged the finest new seedling Rose 
of the year. Its blooms, the petals of 
which were a silver pink outside and 
paler pink inside, were of enormous size, 
some of them being four inches deep and 
seven inches wide.
