an unimportant feature of the show 

 ynd we must not forget to mention 

 that M. Chaubrier showed crotons, 

 caladiuns, calatheas, etc., in a well 

 set-iip group which included a hybrid 

 vriesia between Tillandsia tessalata 

 and Vriesia fenestralis. Two flue 

 groups of dracaenas and other decora- 

 tive plants were staged by M. Emile 

 Morel. Messrs. Cordonnier et fils also 

 staged crotons in variety. 



Vegetables in enorroous quanties 

 were shown by Messps. Vilmorin Au- 

 drieux & Co., as is usual for that 

 eminent firm on such occasions. An- 

 other local exhibitor was the Societe 

 Mutuelle des Jardiniers et Horticul- 

 teurs, who also put up a very fine lot. 

 Fruit was of a high quality genei-dlly. 

 Some of the best growers participated. 

 ■Grapperies de Somain, neatly arranged 

 their grapes in baskets, ]'>ankenthal, 

 Foster's Seedling, Black Alicante and 

 Gros Colman. Another exhibitor of 

 grapes was M. Alb. Mercier. The For- 

 ceries de la Seine showed peaches and 

 nectarines and Jlessrs. \. Cordonnier 

 et fils also staged a handsome lot of 

 peaches, nectarines, plums and grapes 

 — an imposing display set up in hand- 

 some glass cases. 



An art gallery consisting of over 400 

 pictures of fruit and flowers was at 

 the far end of the show and was a fine 

 collection in oil and water colors. A 

 special catalogue of this was provided. 

 Altogether the schedule of the show 

 .comprised 370 classes, so that our 

 readers will see the impracticability of 

 .-attempting to give anything like a de- 

 . tailed account of every exhibitor's lot.

During Recess 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 

 Rhode Island to the number of twenty 

 visited the Rhode Island Hospital on 

 invitation of Brother Cornelius Harts- 

 tra and Dr. J. M. Peters as alternate, on 

 .luae 1-5. The grounds were gone over 

 and ver.v favorable comments made 

 on the beautiful arrangement of the 

 border beds, etc., and a turn through 

 the gTeenhouses which were a model 

 of neatness. The party was then 

 turned over to Mr. McLaughlin, jani- 

 tor of the institution, who gave us an 

 idea of the ground floor work in an 

 able manner. 



We were then introduced to a genial 

 guide, Eugene AV. Amos, chief engineer 

 of the establishment, who conducted 

 the party through the several wards 

 and apartments. Upon our descent we 

 were introduced to Dr. J. M. Peters 

 who received the party in a very 

 "hospital" mannea-. In the reception 

 room a most substantial lunch was 

 served after which remarks were made 

 by SecretaiT Chappell and responded 

 to by Dr. Peters. 



Later in the evening the club held 

 their meeting, and added two new 

 members to the roll of honor, after 

 which Messrs. .Tames Hockey and .lames 

 .T. Barclaj' furnished a very pleasant 

 musical entertainment. Our club 

 seems to be on the pick up. Several 

 new members have been added of late 

 and a number have been reinstated. 

 Our meetings are well attended and 

 we are looking forward to a very good 

 interest this fall. Meetings will be 

 discontintied through Julv and August.
