The Tree Ferns and Pampas Grass, green and variegated, were 

 fine. The Erianthus Bavennce, more delicate and pleasing than 

 the Pampas, attracted much notice ; while the rare and beautiful 

 Papyrus antiqnorum excited evident admiration. The Cannas, as 

 before, were very remarkable, and excellent specimens of Musa 

 ensete, GymnothHx latifolius, Aralia papyrifera, and Araucaria 

 imbricata, were observed. 



The hedge of Retinospora (removed from Bristol, R. I.) and the 

 new Ivy borders were found in good condition, and^the Rose Gar- 

 den far advanced. The Greenhouse presented a good display of 

 variegated foliage ; and the lawn, directly below it, was admirably 

 diversified with beds of thrifty geraniums ; the whole surrounded 

 , by a well trimmed ivy border. 



It is with pleasure that the committee award to Mr. Gray the 

 largest Hunnewell prize of Si 60. 



On the evening of the same day with the visit of the Pomological 

 Society to Mr. Gray, most of the members, accompanied by somo 

 of this committee, paid their respects to H. H. Hunnewell, Esq., 

 at his residence in Wellesley.
