 five entries in the above class. The first

 them could not have been Ixiught for 

 three times five. Tliey were all shown

 be sure to get comfoi table weailui. Busi-

 good roses. Little dependence after all

 can exceed the beauty ot Delaware ave-

 others. When you come to this city do 

 not fail to take a look at these beauti-

Visitors have been rather scarce this 

 week. With the exception of Mr. Pier- 

 son and Mr. Fotheringhani we have only 

 had Mr. A. F'. J. Baur of Indianapolis, 

 who keeps your readers so well posted 

 on how to do carnations. 



Pan-American Notes. 



Our city was visited on Friday last 

 by one of the heaviest and longest thun- 

 der storms in our recollection. The 

 wind blew- and the rain fell in torrents, 

 but after all verv little damage was 

 done. It did beat down a bed of Crim- 



li 1 



\nt growth. We believe that we are 

 ig to have, at least on many of the 

 I'id iierjietual roses, a second crop.

The nympheas planted in the borders 

 of the lakes by Henry A. Dreer last 

 summer are now at the'r very best and 

 add much to the beauty of the lakes. 

 There arc a great number of .species ami 

 varieties. These are best seen when tak- 

 iiiir a fi i|i ill the gondolas. The group of 

 liiilia.ion- plants also planted by tlie 

 lliiii> \, 1)1. er firm are now very inter- 

 .~lim_'. Some just criticism has been 

 iiuule on the want of labelim,' .a. h \aiie- 

 ty of rose. In this cas.- Hi,- lain Imj is 

 w-ell done and the hei ha. ron-. |il,iiits 

 have all very .conspicnou, and .li-tiint 

 labels. Many interesting plants are now

 fiowering. J. C. Vaughan has made a fine 

 exhibit in a broad Ixirder encircling the 

 fountain in the center of the Rose Gar- 

 ilen. This consists of a great varietv of 

 lilants and nearest the fountain, in' the
