NARRAGANSETT GARDENERS' 

 AND FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION 



The members of this association visited 

 .some of 'he leading estates of Newport on 

 Wednesday, Sept. 26, and were the guests 

 of the Newport Horticultural Society. 



Among the estates visited was that of E. 

 J. Berwind, where the terraces and sunken 

 gardens with their artistically trimmed 

 hedges, noteworthy among which are the 

 dwarf hedges of Euonymus, are the out- 

 .standing features of the gardens. The 

 richness of the green lawns and hedges are 

 broken only by the beautiful beds of red 

 flowered Begonia Erfordii rubro. 



The next estate visited was that of Mrs. 

 T. J. Emery. Here the hardy borders with 

 their mass of color are the leading features, 

 and also the massive rock gardens. Every- 

 where the visitors were surprised by having 

 a new and unexpected horticultural picture 

 unfolded to their view. 



The Swiss Farm of Mrs. Curtis James was 

 one of uni(|uc surprises for the visitors and 

 showed much originality. The greenhouses 

 here are filled with tender Winter flowering 

 plants, noteworthy among them being the 



J'-Bai- Grccuhojisc Built for Louis B. Tim, Long Branch, N. J.

Begonias which are in their prime and give 

 promise of yielding a wealth of bl(X)ms at 

 Christmas. The elaborate blue garden 

 is the outstanding attraction on this estate. 



Next on the program was the estate of 

 Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss, where every- 

 thing is done on a large scale. The rose 

 gardens and the extensive rock gardens 

 easily excel, with the greenhou.ses coming 

 in for their share of notice, for here all 

 kinds of vegetables are in all stages of 

 growth for the coming Winter. 



The estate of Ex-Gov. R. Livingston 

 Bceckman was a treat to all, for seldom 

 docs one see .Xdiantum I'arleyense grown to 

 such a degree of perfection as it is here. 

 Ciardenias, too, are also a feature in the 

 flowering plants and again is pcrfecti<m 

 attained in their culture. 



The estate of John Aspcrgrcn was the 

 scene of a wonderful display of Dahlias, nut 



only from a standpoint of new and rare 

 colors but also the general condition of the 

 [ilants, which were as good if not better 

 tiian any dahlias in this section of the state. 

 We wish to thank the Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society for their hospitality ex- 

 tended to us and particularly do wc ap])re- 

 ciate the efforts of Mr. Brown and Mr. 

 Urr|uhart. who cheerfully gave their entire 

 time fur our entertainment.
