THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



Untermyer secured the blue in this class with a group 

 made up of all the up-to-date Ramblers and some of the 

 newer Baby Ramblers such as Jessie and Erna Tschen- 

 dorff. The second group had a large central background 

 of Juanita, a splendid colored Rambler aijd one which 

 will be in great demand when better known. 



In Classes 255 and 256 for Schizanthus were some ex- 

 ceedingly fine specimens from J. Bell, gardener to C. K. 

 Billings ; they were all distinct colors, good varieties, well 

 grown and finely trained. 



In Class 260 for six foliage plants, W. Duckham 

 showed some beautiful specimens, the varieties being 

 Dracaena, Sanderse, D. Godseffiena, Pandanus, Sanderae, 

 Phyllotanum, Lindenii, Heliconia, Eduardus Rex and 

 Croton Reidi. 



In Class 262 for a flowering stove or greenhouse plant, 

 first went to J. Everett, gardener to J. T. Pratt, for a 

 splendid specimen of a Gardenia, standing about 4 feet 

 high and with about 100 fully expanded flowers and nu- 

 merous buds. 



In Classes 235 and 238 were the new Hydrangeas, 

 shown in grand condition by Mr. Bitschki, gardener to 

 W. Ziegler, Jr., who had some beautiful varieties in his 

 lot, particularly noticeable being Radiance, J\lme. JMoul- 

 liere, Mont. Rose, Bouquet Rose, Mouselline and Mile. 

 Renee Gaillard. 



A miscellaneous group of the old-fashioned Mahernia 

 odorata and Streptosolen Jamesoni, from H. Darlington, 

 Mamaroneck, N. Y., gardener to Mr. Popp, received 

 an H..M. 



In Section I, devoted to Ferns, we noticed some splen- 



did specimens, particularly fine being the Davallias from 

 \'V. Thatcher, Brookline, Mass. 



All the bulb classes in Section J were well filled, and 

 some splendid stock was exhibited. Particularly notice- 

 able were the Hyacinths shown by ^^'. Duckham and R. 

 Hughes, gardener to A. J. MacDonald, Flushing, L. I. ; 

 the latter exhibitor also showed some fine pans of the 

 same varieties of Darwin Tulips. 



Mr. John Dodds, gardener to John Wanamaker, besides 

 being a successful competitor in the plant sections, did 

 well in the cut flower classes, carrying off a number of 

 firsts. 



In the Rose section, Mr. Harry Allen, gardener to F. 

 W. Vanderbilt, received first for the vase of twenty- 

 five cut blooms, any one variety, excepting American 

 Beauties, and was awarded a second for Lady Alice 

 Stanley. 



In the class for table decorations open to the private 

 gardeners, members of the N. A. G. only, Mr. Thomas 

 Aitchison, gardener to Henry Seigle, secured first. 



The educational exhibit made by J. S. Huss, of Hart- 

 ford, showing the growth of the Fern in the dififerent 

 stages, from the spores under class up to the fully de- 

 veloped plants, attracted much attention. 



One of the finest specimens of Azaleas ever exhibited 

 was shown by Mr. Robert Tyson, gardener to Mrs. H. 

 McK. Twombly. He was awarded a gold medal and 

 first prize. 



Much more might be said of the splendid achievements 

 by the private gardener at this great show, but time does 

 not permit.
