679 



five years' subscription to "HORTICUL- 

 TURE," contributed by Horticulture 

 Publishing Company, was awarded to 

 I. W. Davis of Lowell, Mass., and B. M. 

 Brown of West Springfield, Mass. Six 

 huge Bonnafton chrysanthemums cen- 

 tered in a heavy mass of smllax, in 

 which were scattered six more of the 

 same blooms, made a striking decora- 

 tion for this table. The judge? were: 

 Pi'of. A. S. Kinney, instractor in bot- 

 any at Mount Holyoke, H. W. Field of 

 Northampton, and Dr. W. B. Lancaster 

 of Amherst. The tables were loaned 

 by E. D. Marsh of Amherst, the china 

 by the Charles Hall Company of 

 Springfield, and the silver by the 

 Ladies' Benevolent Society of the First 

 Church, Amherst. Besides the exhibi- 

 tion of table decorations, there were 

 shown violets, carnations, roses and a 

 lar,i?e nixmber of varieties of chrysan- 

 themums, all i-aised in the college 

 greenhouses. 



ROYAL HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY, LONDON. 



The Vincent Square Hall was over- 

 flowing with exhibits on Tuesday, Oc- 

 tober 2G, orchids being more especially 

 plentiful; then came dahlias, winter- 

 flowering and tuberous i-ooted begon- 

 ias, the latter extremely decorative 

 and whose season' will soon ecme to 

 an end. Perennial asters made a fine 

 show; it is doubtful il these flowers 

 have ever been observed to greater ad- 

 vantage. New Zealand shrubby vercn- 

 icas, ben-ied shrubs and finely grown 

 hollies were abundant. Added to these 

 attvactions there were competitive ex- 

 hibits of onions, apples, pears and 

 grapes. 



Paeony -flowered dahlias formed at- 

 tractive features, Mr. Baker of Wol- 

 verhampton having a particularly 

 shov.'y group of these rather coarse 

 looking flowers. Of varieties I may 

 mention the following: A. B. Ban- 

 tock. crimson, semi-double, splashed 

 with white, and sometimes with lake 

 the petals spatulate, pointed at tae 

 tips a.nd the anther mass bright yel- 

 low; Glory of Baarn is of the same 

 form, but is of a siiade of lilac; John 

 E. Falre is purplish rose; Colonel St. 

 G. Wolseley. creamy white, flushed 

 occasionally with rose; Mrs. Copland, 

 old rose and something more than 

 ■semi-dovtble in form; Faust is a very 

 striking orange scarlet variety; El- 

 phinstone is of a royal purple tint, 

 lighter in tone towards the tips of the 

 petals, and 8 inches in average di- 

 p,meter. Another, its equal in size, 

 was Baron de Grancy; The Warrior, a 

 blood red flower, was a striking vari- 

 ety, 7 inches in diameter; and Lady 

 Norman, which was 8 inches across; 

 ■Germania, Duke Henry, Countess of 

 Lonsdale and Mrs. Mackellar were 

 £;ood varieties, in color, form and size. 



Small exhibits of dahlias were 

 shown by J. Cheal & Sons, who also
