REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PLANTS AND FLOWERS. 23 



l)iilliaiit ilisplay. The exhibitors were Wm. Gray Jr., Ilovey & 

 ( '(>. , and Jaines Comlej'. We omit the lists of names as the varieties 

 were ver}- much the same as those shown last year, of which full 

 lists were given. 



At the Rose Exhibition, June 21st, H. H. Hunnewell exhibited 

 six very fine Variegated Zonales. The plants from Mr. Hunnewell 

 are always first-class in every respect, and at all times a great ad- 

 dition to the shows. 



The Pelargonium Exhibition is one of the most important now 

 held by the vSociety, and for its success we are largely indebted to 

 that enthusiastic amateur, William Gray, Jr. As the plants are so 

 easil}' grown and there are man}' good collections in our vicinity, 

 we trust that the future exhibitions will show increased competition 

 over the successful ones already held. 



Show and Faxcy Pelargoniums. — The only plant shown was a 

 very fine standard from C. M. Atkinson, on the 25th of March. It 

 was five feet high, with a well formed head ; the foliage was very 

 luxuriant, and was intermixed with an abundance of liloom. The 

 variety was Belle of Paris.

 fine collection of sixtj^-five species and varieties ; a list of them is
