The Weekly Florists' Review. 



APRIL 6, 1899. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



The Spring flower exhibition of the 

 Conn. Horticultural Society opened 

 March 28 with the usual bad weather, 

 but fortunately the other two days 

 were fine and the audience good. 



To the poor quality of bulbous 

 plants this year, is due the smaller 

 number of entries in classes for these 

 plants, although there were exception- 

 ally fine exhibits of hyacinths, tulips, 

 freesias, etc. The azaleas were very 

 beautiful, showed care and judgment 

 in growing and deserved the very 

 favorable comments made on them. 



Among roses, Carnot, Kaiserin and 

 Brunner stood out most prominently, 

 some magnificent specimens being 

 shown. Very fine cyclamen were ex- 

 hibited by James Ballantyne, gar- 

 dener for Ex-Gov. Morgan G. Bulke- 

 ley, which for size of individual flow- 

 ers are seldom equaled. These were 

 awarded a first prize, and also the 

 "Jadoo" prize, the plants having been 

 watered with Jadoo liquid. 



John Coombs had the largest ex- 

 hibit of flowering bulbs and received 

 first prizes in almost every class he 

 entered. 



Robt. Patchet, John Smith, T. J. 

 McRonald, W. B. May and several 

 others exhibited flowers which would 

 have done credit to any exhibition in 

 the country. W. B. May, gardener for 

 James J. Goodwin, had a table of mis- 

 cellaneous plants tastefully arranged, 

 and which did not escape the visitor's 

 eye by any means. 



Chas P. Lincoln had several of his 

 new plant and flower stands at the 

 exhibition, which were greatly ad- 

 mired, and quite to Mr. Lincoln's ad- 

 vantage in a pecuniary way. These 

 stands deserve all the good things 

 said of them, as they are strong, 

 graceful and refined in outline and 

 color, and would harmonize with the 

 furnishings of almost any room. 



Collections of butterfiies and moths, 

 and stuffed birds were a pleasing fea- 

 ture, and tastefully gotten up cages, 

 each holding a pair of beautiful white 

 fan-tail pigeons, surrounded by daffo- 

 dils and tulips, added much to make 

 this a very beautiful exhibition, and 

 one deserving of much larger attend- 

 ance. R.
