HORTICULTURE 



November 13, 1909 



showed a number of what may be 

 termed pompon cactus foi-ms, having 

 flowers of about 4 inches in diameter, 

 very suitable for bouquet worli, and 

 single-flowered varieties in telling 

 tints. 



David Russell, Brentwood, made an 

 admirable display of hollies, green, 

 silver and gold variegated. A fine 

 form of the silver variegated weeping 

 holly was noted, as likewise the spe- 

 cies fragrans, and Ilex Lawsoulana 

 aureo maculata, both of them rare. 

 This nurseryman showed Osmanthus 

 argentis variegatus, and O. aureo-vari- 

 egatus. 



Mr. Vickery Gibbs sta,ged a grand 

 group of hardy astei-s (Michaelmas 

 Daisies). Each bouquet consisted of 

 flowering shoots, arranged in cups or 

 funnels of water, one above the other, 

 thus forming pyramids of bloom, 

 measuring 4 to 8 feet in height, and 

 3 to 6 feet in largest diameter. 



In next week's issue we shall men- 

 tion some of the many new and rare 

 orchids staged on this occasion. < 



A full account of the Dobb's Ferry 

 show will appear in the next issue of 

 HORTICULTURE.
