At the regular meeting of the South- 

 ampton (N. Y.) Horticultural Society 

 held Dec. 3, W. L. Jagger read a paper 

 entitled, "The Past and Present of 

 Southampton on Social Lines," which 

 was very heartily applauded. A dis- 

 cussion followed on perennials and 

 roses, how best to care for them dur- 

 ing the winter months, also as to 

 which evergreens were best adapted 

 to this section. The question was 

 asked, "Which are the twelve best 

 perennials blooming in July?" Per- 

 haps HoHTict'i.TtKE could help us on 

 that point. The meeting was very in- 

 teresting and instructive. 



We should hesitate about naming 

 twelve "best" perennials blooming in 



July. There are so many elegant sub- 

 jects that would come under that 

 class and then locations and condi- 

 tions vary so much. Some of the best 

 July blooming perennials are the fol- 

 lowing: Gypsophila paniculata; Eu- 

 phorbia corollata; Hypericum Moser- 

 ianum; Clematis Davidiana. and 

 recta: Salvia azurea: Chrysanthemum 

 maximum Polar Star; Callirhoe invol- 

 ucrata: Malva alcea; Spiraea pal- 

 mata; Monarda didyma: Pentstemon 

 hybridus: Iris Kaempferi; Aconitura
