with the Dutch grown bulbs. This scene evidently was 

 appreciated, being entirely different from anything else 

 on exhibition, and the crowds that lingered around this 

 unique display were proof of their appreciation. To me 

 it looked as though the bulbs had been growing there for 

 a month, with the green lawn combined with flowering 

 shrubs, evergreens, etc., which all goes naturally with 

 spring bulbs. There were also many choice bulbs for the 

 visitors to feast on, such as Narcissus, Hyacinths anrl 

 Larkspur — truly an exhibit worthy of the name it repre- 

 sented. 



Max Schling, the retail florist, made an interesting ex- 

 hibit tastefully arranged, made-up baskets of plants and 

 flowers, such as Boronias, Begonia Re.x, Bauera Rubioi- 

 does, and baskets of the new French Hydrangeas, show- 

 ing the adaptability of such plants for that class of work, 

 when tastefully arranged.

sortment of Boston ferns, such as Elegantissima Im- 

 proved, Elegantissima Compacta and Aluscosa. but I 

 dare say one of the most conspicuous drawing cards in 

 this exhibit was Anterrlunen Buxton's Pink, a lovely 

 shade of pink. 



Robert Craig Company's collection of Crotons nicely 

 colored ; also a new Ficus which has the appearance of 

 being a valuable addition to this family — for decorative 

 work. The new Fern Nephrolipsis robusta, has the ear- 

 marks of being a good thing — should judge excellent for 

 growing into specimens. 



P. Hamilton Goodsell, Conifers, Rhododendrons, .Aza- 

 leas and Boxwood, very fine specimens. 



Bobbink & Atkins were represented with a compre- 

 hensive exhibit of English Ivy trained into all forms 

 imaginable, with banks of Hydrangeas, Rhododendrons, 

 herbaceous plants, trained bo.x trees and yews, showing 

 what can be accomplished with skill and gnud judgment.
