10G MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 



for a new Viola cornvia var. inn-puna. The flowers were a rich 

 purple, and it promises to be a valuable bedding variety. 



A table of herbaceous phloxes, and Lilium tigrinum came from 

 William Whitman, and also a very effective one of mixed flowers, 

 mostly annuals — Zinnias, marigolds, Scabios, sunflowers, Celosia, 

 Antirrhinums, and Rudbeckia Golden Glow. 



The T. C. Thurlow Company showed herbaceous phloxes; 

 the best were Mme. Meuret, Le Pole du Nord, Le Soleil, Mine. 

 Papa Carpentier, Saison Lierval, Stellas Choice, Elizabeth Camp- 

 bell, Mme. Paul Dutree, Baron von Devan, B. Comte, Brunette, 

 and Le Feu de Monde. 



Mr. Whitman's phloxes were, La Candeur, white; Le Feu de 

 Monde, red; Le Soleil, rose; Richard Wallace, white, pink eye; 

 Stellas Choice, white; L'Esperance, lilac; R. P. Struthers, 

 salmon-red; Aglae Adamson, white, red eye; Charles Darwin, 

 salmon-pink; La Neige, white; and Mme. Meuret, red. 



F. J. Rea had some promising new and unusual phloxes — An- 

 toine Mercie, white; Dawn, delicate, pink; Gen. Chanzy, scarlet; 

 M. Langier, salmon-pink; and Richepin, white. 



Mrs. E. M. Gill had a table of annuals — dahlias, phloxes, 

 larkspurs, petunias, and marigolds. 



Mrs. J. L. Gardner's table of annuals is one of the features of 

 every August show. It was admirably set up and attracted a 

 good deal of attention. Among them were stocks, asters, zinnias, 

 Helichrysum, marigolds, Indian pinks, Scabios, candytuft, Phlox 

 Drummondii, portulaccas, Matthiola bicomis, Nigella Miss Jekyll, 

 Celsosia, and several others. 



Mr. Montague Chamberlain of Groton made an extensive 

 display of new and rare gladioli; Rajah, crimson, was awarded a 

 Silver Medal; Niagara, buff, a First Class Certificate. Besides the 

 above, Mr. Chamberlain had Glory, cream colored; Laconia, 

 bright pink; Margaret, crimson; Mrs. F. King, bright red; Sul- 

 phur King; Canary Bird; Baron Hulot, purple; Reine Blanche, 

 white; Isabel, white, suffused pink; Princeps, bright red; Margot 

 von Quaita, white, with pink tips; Dora Krais, buff pink; Europa, 

 white; I lohenstaufen, white, pink markings; Wild Rose, pink and 

 white; Meteor, deep orange; Dawn, salmon pink; and Mrs. 

 Frank Pendleton, salmon-pink, suffused white, crimson blotch.
