the Society gives. The names of the prize winners and varieties

 Wodenethe, Winthrop Sargent, awarded a Silver Medal; Light 

 Pink, May Day, Peter Fisher, awarded a Silver Medal. S. J. 

 Goddard and M. A. Patten were awarded a Silver Medal and a 

 Bronze Medal respectively for a vase of 100 blooms. The New 

 Hampshire College received Honorable Mention for a collection 

 of seedling carnations and the same award was given to John 

 Barr for a variegated seedling. 



Cyclamens were as usual very good. Dr. C. G. W T eld won the 

 Silver Medal for the best 24 plants in seven-inch pots. We would 

 prefer to see well-grown year-old plants in seven-inch pots rather 

 than larger and older ones which hardly ever have the quality of 

 bloom. Competition for first and second for 25 cyclamens in six- 

 inch pots was very close, Dr. Weld again obtaining first with F. J. 

 Mitton a close second. 



William Whitman's and Mrs. J. L. Gardner's Primula stellata, 

 which took first and second prizes respectively, were both very 

 good. 



Schotel's blue hyacinth as shown by William Whitman and Mrs. 

 J. L. Gardner was extra fine and Mr. Whitman's collection of 

 spring-flowering bulbous plants was equal to the first class even 

 though there was no competition. 



( ompetition for the prizes for early tulips was not extensive. 

 The prize for the best six pans went to Mr. Whitman. The first 

 prize for the best collection of Large Trumpet Narcissi also went 

 to Mr. Whitman; prominent varieties in the display were Emperor, 

 Horsfieldii, Mrs. J. B. M'Camm, and Mine, de Graff. He also 

 took first for a collection of Short Trumpet Narcissi. 



The Langwater Gardens of North Easton, Wm. N. Craig, 

 Superintendent, made a beautiful display of orchids and was 

 ;i\v;irded a Silver Medal. The following species and varieties were 

 included in this exhibit:
