THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF 

 NEW YORK SHOW. 



Tlie Jinic exiiiliition of tliis society and of 

 the American Rose Society was held, in 

 co-operation with the New York Botani- 

 cal Garden, in the Museum building of that 

 institution, on the 5th and 6th. Owing to 

 the continued cold weather just before the 

 exhibition, peonies and roses were much 

 retarded in their development. The dis- 

 play of these flowers was therefore rela- 

 tively small. There was an excellent dis- 

 play of the llowers of shrubs and trees of 

 herbaceous plants, including a large rep- 

 resentation of irises. The (lis|ilay of flow- 

 ers of shrubs and trees made by Mr. T. A. 

 Navemeyer was of especial excellence, con- 

 taining many unusual things, A large dis- 

 play was nurde by Messrs. Bobbink & At- 

 kins, including a collection of irises, an- 

 other of flowers of herbaceous plants, and 

 also an excellent collection of rhodoilen- 

 dron flowers. A group of plants, contain-

MENLO PARY (CAL.) HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY SHOW. 



The first spring show that has been held 

 under the auspices of the ilenlo Park Hor- 

 ticultural Society took place here May 20. 

 The show was only of one day's duration, 

 but it proved to be a great success, in spite 

 of the very inclement weather which has 

 prevailed in this locality of late. The ex- 

 liibits were large and varied, and it ]iroved 

 conclusively that the growers and ]irivate 

 gardeners, and also the members of this 

 society, can do things even if the weather 

 conditions are not all that is to be desired. 

 The display of Spencer sweet peas sur- 

 passed all expectations, and some grand 

 stock was on view. Out-door roses also 

 were shown in great variety, and proved to 

 be a great attraction. The flowering shruli 

 section was very excellent, considering 

 growing conditions, as also were the dis- 

 plays of perennials and annuals. 



The sweepstakes gold medal, awarded to 

 the exhibitor winning the most first prizes, 

 was awarded to the Lynch Nursery Com- 

 pany of ]\Ienlo Park. Cal. Special mention 

 must be made of the grand new roses shown 

 by George Nunn and the splendid exhibit 

 of pot gloxinias by Joseph Paneieka, gar- 

 dener to Mrs. Charles G. Lathrop. Mr. 

 Paneicka's tuberous begonias, as well as 

 his Spencer sweet peas, were very fine. 

 John i\'. Daly, gardener to .T. Lewy Nickel, 

 showed a splendid lot of Burbauk's new- 

 hybrid amaryllis; also, perennials and flow- 

 ering shrubs. John Patterson's sweet peas 

 showed splendid culture and the same can 

 be said of his show of flowering shrubs. 



David Bassett's roses in the collections 

 carried ofl' first honors, and it was an award 

 well bestowed, as they were grand. The 

 pansy display was a feature and the com- 

 jietition very keen. First honors went to 

 Edward O'Neill, head gardener to the Tal-
