Among the sweet peas which showed up best in the prize-winning collections at the Boston exhibition July 12 and 13 were the following: Barbara;ra magnificent salmon orange, will be widely grown another season; Thomas Stevenson, a beautiful orange scarlet, easily the best of its shade; Bell, pale salmon apricot, a glorious flower, with an attractive color; Edrom Beauty, similar to Helen Lewis in color, but a far better flower; Doris Usher, pink on a cream ground, quite pleasing; Dazzler, rich orange scarlet, one of the best; Scarlet Em- peror, the finest of the scarlets, fine in many collections; Decorator, one of Burpee's 1913 set, described well as a Rose du Barri Spencer; Orchid, from the same introducers, is of a pleasing heliotrope shade; their new Illuminator, salmon rose, is worth watching and their King White, pronounced by Mr. Kerr away ahead of all existing whites, should create a stir next season. Florence Nightingale was the leading lavender in the show and will take some beating. Asta Ohn Spencer and Master- piece are two other lavenders that are well to the front. Edith Taylor is a wonderful salmon rose, only seen in one collection; it is still scarce, but was the finest novelty in England last sea- son. Hercules is best described as a glorified Countess Spencer and it will soon displace the latter variety. Nora Unwin, White Spencer and Etta Dyke appeared most frequently as whites, while in cream or primrose shades Debbie's Cream was easily in the lead, with Primrose Beauty and Primrose Spencer as the next best of their color. Dobbie's Crimson was the best of the deep reds, although more vases of King Edward Spencer were staged. Senator Spencer is good for those who admire its color^ which combines claret stripes and flakin
