120 MASSAC IHSKTTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



A Vote of Thanks was given William Whitman (Martin Sullivan,

 ing several forms of Cypripedium, Miltonopsis Blcui, Cattleyas,

 Weld Garden. 



Exhibits in March and April, 1910. 



March 5 a Silver Medal was awarded to Dr. C. G. Weld for an 

 exhibit of Dendrobium nobile virginale, a very fine form. 



March 19 Mrs. Frederick Aver made a very neat display of 

 Acacias. 



April 23 the Messrs. Farquhar exhibited under " No. 426 Wilson " 

 a Clematis from seed collected by E. H. Wilson in China and sup- 

 posed to be C. Armandi until it bloomed when it was found to be 

 a far superior plant. The flowers are pure white, three and a 

 half inches across, borne in axillary cymes, and very sweet scented. 

 It flowers in midsummer naturally and so comes in at a time when 

 ( lcmatis is growing scarce or otherwise not in. It was awarded a 

 First Class Certificate. 



At the same time Walter Hunnewell exhibited Azalea 'milieu 

 (Wilson 5000 ft. alt.). The flowers are pale red, or but with slight 

 variations we should say it resembled in the color of its flowers the 

 Japanese Azalea Kaempferi. There is a difference however which 

 we believe will become more pronounced as the plants grow older. 

 The flowers of this A. indica are larger, flatter, and are slightly 

 marbled where the blotch usually is. This season's growth has 

 shown the habit to be very different from A. Kaempferi and it has 

 great promise.
