 and character impersonations by Her- 

 bert A. Clark, violin solos by Miss

 the large exhibition hall while the 

 lecture room was being cleared for 

 dancing, which lasted until near mid- 

 night, a good orchestra being in at- 

 tendance. 



It was announced that the annual 

 picnic would take place at Milton, on 

 some day during the week beginnmg 

 July 23. 



President Kennedy made prelimin- 

 ary announcement of his plans for a

NEWPORT FLOWER AND FRUIT 

 SHOW. 



A most interestmg open-air exhibi- 

 tion of i)lants. flowers and fruit under 

 the joint auspices of the Newport Gar- 

 den Association and the Newport Hor- 

 ticultural Society was opened Wednes- 

 day, June 2.5, at Harbor Court, the 

 residence of Mrs. John Nicholas 

 Brown. 



There were two classes of exhibits, 

 those of the Garden Association con- 

 sisting chiefly of groups of plants 

 planted in the ground, and those of 

 the Newport Horticultural Society 

 comprising magnificent displays of cut 

 roses, sweet peas and hardy peren- 

 nials. 



The spacious grounds of Mrs. J. N. 

 Brown, overlooking the harbor, af- 

 forded a fine setting for the exhibition. 

 Near the entrance was an elaborate 

 and artistically-planted rock garden, 

 the work of John Mahan, gardener for 

 Mrs! H. D. Auchincloss. Following 

 this came a large group of coniferous 

 and other evergreen plants, planted 

 and" exhibited by Otto Schultz. Mr. 

 Schultz also made a fine exhibit of 

 foxgloves. Then followed showy 

 beds of forced petunias, schizanthus, 

 clarkias, and sweet peas — the last 

 grown in tubs and plunged. Henry 

 A. Dreer made a fine showing of 

 aquatic plants and Bobbink & At- 

 kins showed a group of their finest 

 bay trees and topiary box trees. In 

 the cut flower classes, sweet peas and 

 roses were of unusual merit. 



The judges for the Garden Associa- 

 tion were Mrs. Arnold Hague, New- 

 port. Fi-ederick Newbold, New York, 

 John K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston. 

 Those for the Newport Horticultural 

 Society were Messrs. Robertson, Car- 

 ter and Craig. 



In our next issue full particulars of 

 this notable exhibition will appear.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES, 



Mrs. Walter F. Fancourt sails for 

 England on the S. S. "Merlon" from 

 Philadelphia on July 5th. on a brief 

 visit to relatives in the old home. We 

 wish her a happy vacation and a safe 

 return to our midst. 



Robert Greenlaw. New England rep- 

 resentative of the Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., paid us his annual visit this week. 

 He has been with this firm now for 

 several years and has met with de- 

 served success: not only on his own 

 personality, but from the high position 

 which his firm holds for taste and ex- 

 clusiveness in ribbons and other flor- 

 ists' requisites. We can well remem- 

 ber thirty years ago — in our first ex- 

 periences of Boston — meeting with 

 Robert's uncle — ("old man" Greenlaw 

 he-_was affectionately called); and we 

 feel rather proud of the good record 

 the younger scion of the family is 

 making.
