THE HOLLAND HOUSE SHOW. 



The summer show of the Royal 

 Horticultural Society is always a pop- 

 ular fixture in the society's calendar. 

 The three days' show, held in the 

 grounds of Holland House, Kensing- 

 ton, Eng., on July 2, 3 and 4, was far 

 in advance of any preceding ones 

 which have taken place here. Eight 

 spacious marquees, with improved 

 methods of ventilation, were erected. 

 There were 143 exhibitors, the lead- 

 ing specialists in each branch of hor- 

 ticulture being well represented. Tlie 

 principal tent presented a charming 

 spectacle, with its artistically arranged 

 floral groups. The wall, court, and 

 water gardens were splendid examples 

 of the highest form of garden craft. 

 The orchids were not numerous, but 

 well known exhibitors including 

 Sander & Son, St. Albans; Mansell & 

 Rawdon, York; Stuart Low & Co., 

 Bush Hill Park; and others contrib- 

 uted from their valuable collections. 

 The season has been very favorable 

 for rose culture, and this section was 

 one of the best ever seen at Holland 

 House. Sweet peas were also a strik- 

 ing feature. The excellent show of 

 herbaceous plants was in keeping with 

 the high standard which prevailed. 

 The characteristic features of a Dutch 

 garden were faithfully represented by 

 Piper & Son, of Bayswater, in the out- 

 door section. Waterer & Sons, of 

 Bagshot, had a collection of handsome 

 large yews in tubs; Russell of Rich- 

 mond, Surrey, made an admirable 

 show of tree ivies. 



Carter & Sons, of Raynes Park, Sur- 

 rey, laid out a picturesque Japanese 

 gai'den. Some remarkably well grown 

 bay trees in tubs formed an imposing 

 avenue, these coming from the nursery 

 of Veitch & Sons. A group of Arau- 

 caria Silver Star, by Rochford & Sons, 

 attracted considerable attention. The 

 Coronation challenge cup was won by 

 James Veitch & Sons, for fruit trees in 

 pots and stove plants. The Wigan 

 challenge cup was won by John Mat- 

 tock of Oxford, for roses. A silver 

 Flora medal was allotted to W. A. 

 Manda, South Orange, New Jersey, U. 

 S. A., for a splendid group of foliage 

 plants. Included was a fine specimen 

 of Polypodium Mandaianum, which 

 was awarded a first-class certificate.
