The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



JUXK 30. .>>9S. 



As the original names bestowed by the 

 Japanese are preserved, I shall not 

 attempt to give them here. They will 

 be fully described in catalogue in due 

 course. 



It being a very hot day, 90 degrees 

 in the shade, a visit to the now famous 

 water lily ponds was most inviting, 

 and here we found the enthusiastic, 

 and justly recognized authority upon 

 aquatics and everything pertaining 

 to aqua pura, Mr. Tricker, who in the 

 character of Father Neptune directed 

 us with his trident to the spot where 

 these charming varieties are in full 

 glory. The newer kinds are particu- 

 larly interesting. Doogueana, Falcon- 

 eri and O'Marana are among the 

 cream of the collection. Some seed- 

 lings of great promise are being zeal- 

 ously guarded. The Victoria pond is 

 in readiness to receive its royal guest, 

 and the variety Trickerii will excell 

 in all respects its predecessors. This 

 picture would not be complete without 

 the fine collection of bamboos, some of 

 which are indispensable in an aquatic 

 garden. 



Owing to the dry spell following the 

 heavy and continuous rainfall, stock 

 out of doors is not looking so well as 

 we have seen it, a good rain will ma- 

 terially assist its advancement, par- 

 ticularly the herbaceous garden. 



I took notes of a few new and de- 

 sirable commercial plants, of which I 

 will give our readers the benefit later 

 with illustrations; some new varieties 

 of ferns and begonias. In the latter 

 the kinds named Princess Carl of Den- 

 mark 'in the Rex class and Gloire de 

 Lorraine in the flowering section, are 

 gems of the first water. 



As previously reported, changes are 

 intended in a block of houses to con- 

 form with latest ideas. These will be 

 carried out at an early date.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 

 The annual rose show of the Ama- 

 teur Horticultural Society was an un- 

 usually fine display and was very suc- 

 cessful. In addition to roses there 

 were exhibits of sweet peas and a 

 host of other flowers in season. 



HALIFAX, N. S. 



In the notes on page Sn of The Re- 

 view for June 10 it should have read 

 that the pair of variegated aloes had 

 been under the care of Mr. Powers for 

 thirty years instead of three years.
