Section. 

 The Aiiglo-Aiueric-an ExpositiDu, which will be 

 held at Shejiherd'.s Hush this year, has for its 

 object the celebration in a (itting manner of the 

 liundred years of i)eace and progress between 

 the English-speaking peoi)ies since the Treaty 

 of Ghent in 1814. It has been felt that no more 

 appropriate means could be adopted to com- 

 memorate these ei)och-making events than to 

 niateriaUse in a magnificent joint disjjlay tlie 

 vast gains which have accrued to mankind 

 through this peaceful develoi)ment of Great 

 Britain and the United States of America during 

 the past century. 



As becomes an Exhibition, illustrative in the 

 fullest possible sense of the activities of two great 

 nations famous for the prominent part they have 

 taken in the advancement of the gardening art 

 in its varied aspects, demonstrations of both 

 American and British horticulture are being 

 organised on as comprehensive a scale as possible. 

 From what has already been accomplished, it is 

 believed that these demonstrations will be equally 

 remarkable for their beauty, interest, and use- 

 fulness, and will prove a great source of attrac- 

 tion to visitors from both sides of the Atlantic. 



This section of the Exposition is being 

 organised by the Committee of Horticulture, 

 Arboriculture and Forestry, which includes 

 among its sixty members the foremost horticul- 

 turists, arboriculturists and forestry experts of

the ])resent time, who have also hatl mucl) 

 experience in the organisation of exhibitions ot 

 the highest class. The Coniinittee lias ali-eady 

 made considerable i)rogress, and has formulated 

 a scheme which there is good reason for believing 

 will ensure a representation of horticulture, 

 arboriculture and forestry worthy of the two 

 great nations intercisted. Adequate i>rovisions 

 have been made for the display of rock and water 

 gardening of the most varied character, which has 

 of late years attained to so high a state of develop- 

 ment, more especially in this country. A large 

 area on the western side of the grounds will be 

 placed at the disposal of those who are specially 

 interested in this fascinating branch of the 

 gardening art. ITardy herbaceous |)lants, now 

 so popular with all classes of the tlower-loving 

 community, will not be less liberally provided 

 far, as evidenced by the spacious Court of Progress 

 having been allotted to them, to English formal 

 gardens and Rhododendrons, and here the firms 

 who devote special attention to these important 

 classes of plants will show their taste in arrange- 

 ment and skill in cultivation. 



Roses, in view of their importance and i)opu- 

 larity, will have much space devoted to them, 

 and under the scheme the Elite Gardens will be 

 almost wholly occupied by these fragrant, 

 attractive flowers. Ornamental trees and shrubs, 

 which have had so many valuable additions 

 made to them, as the result of the explorations in 

 Western China within recent years, should also 

 constitute a great feature of much interest and 

 usefulness. Indeed arrangements are being niade 

 for the representation of many other classes of
