The thirteenth annual exhibition and of the American Sweet Pea Society was held in the American Museum of Natural History, New York, Saturday, June 25. The exhibition con- tinued through the following day, Sun- day. The exhibition was staged in the foyer of the museum and was credit- able, considering that the drought of the past few weeks made a large show- ing impossible. Under the circum- stances, the quality of stock staged was remarkable, although the entries were few. The finest exhibits were staged by William Gray, Newport, E. I., gardener for Princess Anastasia of Greece, formerly Mrs. W. B. Leeds, and rarely have finer fiowers been seen, fiowers of large size on unusually stout stems. Mr. Gray easily won first in class 2, calling for six vases of six varieties, twenty sprays to a vase, with Eosabelle deep pink; Floradora, purple; Mrs. Arnold Hitchcock, blush; R. P. Felton, lavender; Elegance, blush; and Constance Hinton, white. It was a splendid exhibit. Special Classes. Mrs. Eobert Winthrop, Lenox, Mass., whose gardener is S. W. Carlquist, won first in the class for three vases of novelties for 1921, with Eose Elliott, cerise pink, Lavender Bell, and Fair Lady, light pink. In class 8, calling for six vases of six distinct varieties, fifteen sprays to a vase, Mr. Gray won first with Daisybud, light pink; Mrs. Arnold Hitchcock, Constance Hinton and Hawlmark Pink; Mrs. Tom Jones, purple, and Elegance. The Hutchins memorial cup, to be held for one year only, offered for twelve vases, twelve distinct varieties and twenty sprays to a vase, the class which also carried the Burpee trophy cup, was won by C. F. Cartledge, of Lo- cust Valley, N. Y., for whom William C. Noonan is gardener, with Hercules, Mrs. Tom Jones, King Edward, Mrs. Cuth- bertson, Mrs. Hugh Dickson, King Man
