 tendance was not so large as on the two

 TICULTURAL SOCIETY SHOW. 



A remarkably fine exhibition of flowers, 

 fruits, vegetables, etc, was held liy this 

 society June 19-20, on the beautiful grounds 

 of tlie United Hospital at Portchester, 

 N. Y. A large and commodious tent was 

 erected by the hospital management directly 

 over a large artificial lily pond, a perma- 

 nent feature of the grounds, and which 

 formed a fine central feature, and setting 

 for the exhibition. There was a good at- 

 tendance and the society gained many new 

 friends. Everything exhibited was of the 

 very licst quality. There was keen com- 

 petition in all classes and the entries were 

 very numerous. Remarkable displays of 

 sweet ])eas were in evidence, both indoor 

 and outdoor grown, and the keenest rivalry 

 existed in these classes. The roses were 

 also remarkable for their fine quality and 

 were exhibited in great numbers. That 

 wonderful white rose Fran Karl Druschkii 

 was shown in grand form, while several 

 very fine vases were entered in the special 

 class for twelve blooms of this variety. 



A number of novelties were noted in the 

 various collections of plants, etc. The new 

 hardy shruli Salvia Greggi was exhibited 

 and should prove of value and a welcome 

 addition to the li*t of shrubs, as the crim- 

 son shade blends harmoniouslv with the
