CORRESPONDENCE.
CRIMSON SWEET PEAS. (To the Editor.) Dear Sir, —Considerable confusion exists in the minds of many of our growers as to the actual difference between the stocks of Crimson Sweet Peas now on the market. Recent advices from Home are to the effect that The King was originated by Dobbie and Co., but Maud Holmes and Sunproof Crimson are from two separate stocks. Mr. Holmes was the originator of both. They were sent by him to the N.S.P. Society s trials under the two numbers. 320 and 321. Both proved good, and No. 321 was sold to Messrs. Dobbie and Co., and is being distributed by them as Dobbie’s Sunproof Crimson, while the stock known as 320 is being distributed by Messrs. Holmes and Sydenham under the name of Maud Holmes. —Yours faithfully TT * T-’/'A'V"
H. A. FOX.
