tion. They were sent by W. Wells, an 

 English specialist, and great credit is 

 due liim for his enterprise in thus bring- 

 ing his wares before the American pub- 

 lic. The flowers averaged up well in size, 

 though many of them were not nearly 

 developed. They were mostly seedlings 

 and included a good range of color. Tliey 

 were set up singly in small vases and 

 were much admired. 



Looking at these flowers and the at- 

 tractive appearance they presented, it 

 seemed to me that much more staging of 

 that kind should be done where it is pro- 

 posed to set flowers up on exhibition 

 for a longer period than two days. Flow- 

 ers set up with long stems will not keep 

 in presentable condition much longer 

 than two days, while flowers put up with 

 a foot of stem will keep perfectly for 

 a week, and can be spread over a much 

 larger area. I am not decrying classes 

 like six vases, six flowers in a vase. 

 Far from it. Those classes are the mak- 

 ing of a show from a spectacular jKjint 

 of view, but tliere is lots of room for big 

 vases and small vases too. Tliey would 

 create more variety and would break up 

 the monotony of long rows of vases all 

 the same size and all containing the 

 same number of flowers. I know of one 

 <>xhibition where these small vase classes 

 ;ire made a feature and it is to mj- mind 

 a. most attractive one. 



More classes are to be comipeted for at 

 New York on Monday and some good 

 new things may be brought out that may 

 be worthy of note. The classes for 

 plants were poorly filled, and the reason 

 is not far to seek. Specimen plants rep- 

 I'esent an immense amount of work, and 

 the cost of producing such plants is 

 entirely out of proportion to the cash 

 prize that is generally ofTered. Judging 

 by the remarks made, the classes for 

 specimen plants will be even more poor- 

 ly represented next year than this un- 

 less some radical change in the feelings 

 of the exhibitors takes place.
