YE WHIMSICAL SAYINGS OF 

 H. A. B. 



The "dummy" for the program of the 

 annual picnic of the New Yorlv Florists' 

 Club is before us. The "Greetynge" 

 which adorns the first page, the work 

 of the irrepressible Harry Bunyard, 

 is decidedly original, so we reproduce 

 it for the perusal of our readers dur- 

 ing recess. 



GREETYNGE. 

 Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! 



About this thyme ye almanacke

 posies mingle wythe ye wholesayle

 shie castors at ye seed man and other

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



At the recent exhibition of this so- 

 ciety Messrs. Barr & Sons made a fine 

 showing of bulbous plants including 

 many novelties. In tulips, mention 

 may be made of T. Brunhilde with yel- 

 low and white tints, novel in coloring 

 and of great size. Of narcissus, some 

 of the most beautiful were, Salmonetta, 

 a N. Leedsi with a corona of apricot 

 color: N. poeticus grandiflorus; N. 

 poeticus Epic; N. Leedsi Peach; N. in- 

 comparabilis Argent, in whose flower 

 the corona is doubled; Cassandra, a N. 

 poeticus variety; .Tanet Image, a giant 

 Leedsii; N. poeticus The Bride; N. p. 

 Glory and Dorothy Wemyss among 

 white flowered varieties. Among yel- 

 low flowered Narcissus, Hon. Mrs. 

 Jocelyn is a fine trumpet variety; 

 Ranger .Tohnson is another. N. Gloria 

 Mundi, an incomparabilis variety and 

 Monarch, a trumpet, were capital flow- 

 ers. This firm showed new varieties 

 differing in some respects from older 

 ones, some possessing coronas more 

 brilliant in color as these are wider 

 spread. Such are Masterpiece, N. trl- 

 andrus hybrids. White Lady and 

 others. A silver gilt Bankslan medal 

 was awarded tlie group. 



.J. Veitch & Sons showed among 

 other interesting things a large num- 

 ber of hybrids of Phyllocactus, very 

 pretty plants for early summer flower- 

 ing and needing only intermediate 

 house treatment, for which a silver 

 gilt flora medal was awarded. Messrs. 

 Veitch also exhibited a large collection 

 of Himalayan rhododendrons and hy- 

 brids of these species, of which the 

 more showy in color or size of the 

 blooms were Mrs. Butler, pale pink 

 flowers, fragrant; Mrs. Thiselton Dyer, 

 flowers of a shade of lilac; Pink Pearl; 

 Thompsoni, blood red; Kewensis a hy- 

 brid of R. Aucklandi, blush, very beau- 

 tiful; Dr. Stocker (new) white with a 

 pink eye; P'alconeri; Glory of Penjer- 

 rick, a fine hybrid of R. Aucklandi, 

 etc. 



The display of roses was very ex- 

 tensive, all the well-known ramblei's of 

 European and American origin being 

 shown in large numbers. Among the 

 exhibitors in this department were 

 Messrs. Veitch & Sons, F. Cant & Co., 

 B. Cant & Sons, Hugh Low & Co., W. 

 Paul & Son and G. Mount. In the 

 group shown by the latter there were 

 pyramids of the new H. T., Joseph 

 Lowe, sent out by Messrs. Lowe and 

 Sawyer, of Uxbridge, a bloom of a soft 

 rose tint, with a very pleasing bud. 

 Rhea Reid as shown was not the equal 

 of Liberty or of Capt. Hayward, being 

 smaller and less good In tint than 

 either. , . 



OBITUARY. 



Mrs. John Galvln. 



Mrs. John Galvin, widow of the late 

 superintendent of Boston's public 

 grounds, died at her home in Dorches- 

 ter, Mass., on May 15. Mrs. Galvin 

 had reached the ripe age of ninety 

 years. She was born in Limerick 

 County, Ireland, and came to this 

 country when a young girl. She mar- 

 ried John Galvin in 1S47 and they lived 

 happily together until the death of Mr. 

 Galvin 54 years later; their home a 

 centre of good cheer and a model of 

 hospitality. 



Two daughters and three sons, with 

 many grandchildren and great-grand- 

 children, survive. Of the sons, John 

 Mitchell Galvin, for a number of years 

 Boston city clerk, and recently a can- 

 didate for Congress, is well-known in 

 politics, and Dr. George W. Galvin Is 

 widely famed as a surgeon. Her third 

 son, Thomas F. Galvin, has continued 

 his father's business and is a com- 

 manding figure in the flower trade of 

 Boston. 



Her eldest daughter Is the widow of 

 Capt. George P. Ryan, room-mate of 

 Admiral Sampson at the naval acad- 

 emy, who was lost off Hatteras in 

 November, 1S77. Her youngest daugh- 

 ter is Mrs. Charles M. Drake of 

 Boston. ^^^^^^^^^^^ 



The meeting of the Connecticut 

 Horticultural Society at Hartford, on 

 May 14 was presided over by Vice- 

 President John Gerard. A committee 

 consisting of G. W. Smith, W. W. Hunt 

 and G. T. Whiton was appointed to 

 draft a set of resolutions of sympathy 

 with President Huss in the loss of his 

 wife. G. W. Smith delivered an inter- 

 esting address on "Milk Analysis" for 

 which a vote of thanks was passed by 

 the society. Some splendid Marshall 

 strawberries, grown under glass by 

 Mr. Huss, received an award of merit.
