A Silver Medal was given M. H. Walsh for a collection of speci- 

 men Rambler roses. This was an unusually fine exhibit and did 

 great credit for the excellent way the plants had been prepared, 

 were transported, and held throughout the exhibition; not least 

 of all was the fact, that of all the varieties shown, eighteen were 

 raised by the exhibitor. 



Here follows a list of the varieties in Mr. Walsh's exhibit : 



Arcadia, Celeste, Coquina, Delight, Excelsa, Hiawatha, Kalmia, 

 Lady Blanche, Lady Gay, Lucile, Milky way, Minnehaha, Maid 

 Marion, Mrs. M. H. Walsh, Paradise, Summer Joy, Troubadour, 

 and Winona. 



A Silver Medal went to Mrs. Frederick Ayer (George Page, 

 gardener) for a display of Acacias and heaths. The group was 

 neatly staged and was a great attraction. Acacias were A. 

 paradoxa, A. pulchella, A. Drurn/mondii, A. longifolia, A. hybrida, 

 and A. hcterophylla. Ericas were E. arborea, E. persoluta alba, E. 

 urccolaris, E. melanthera, and E. meditteranea. 



Sidney Hoffman was awarded a Silver Medal for a miniature 

 Topiary Garden which was well worked out and at the same time 

 forming a very cosy retreat.

 collection of spring-flowering shrubs, including lilacs, Halesia, 

 Forsythias, Spiraeas, Deutzias, and Azalea Kaempferi.
