10 MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Collection of Hovey & Co. : Pteris tricolor, a fine plant of this choice fern. 

 Tetrathera verticillata, a pretty plant, noticeable from its showy purple flowers. 

 Geranium Rollinson's Unique, a fine plant of this fine variety. Rhopala Cor- 

 covadensis, (so marked), at the Exhibition of 18G0, we were inclined to think 

 this plant was correctly named. We were in error; the plant exhibited is a 

 spurious variety, too often sent out for corcovadensia ; the leaves are smaller, 

 not so richly marked, and the plant is inferior. Passiflora hybrida floribunda, 

 a well grown plant in full bloom. Azalea crispiflora, a fine plant. Aralia 

 reticulata, always fine; with good culture the leaves grow many times larger 

 than those usually seen. Fine Fancy Pelargoniums, Cambridge Pet, Evening 

 Star, Boston Belle, Helen Faucit, Emperor, Eulalie, fine plants in profuse 

 bloom. Cinerarias Baroness Rothchiid, Regalia, Wonderful, Mrs. Coleman, 

 Mrs. Hoyle, Prince of Wales, the best plants shown for many years. Ericas 

 Cavendishii, Westphalingia, intermedia, Beaumontii, Statice Holfordii, Azaleas 

 Gledstanesii, and Osbornii. 



Collection of G. G. Hubbard : Acrostichum alcicorne, a very large and well 

 grown plant. A choice collection of fine ferns, all liowever small plants. A 

 single plant of double Zinnia, enough to show the flower is no myth, and a fine 

 plant of Gazania splendens from Hovey &l Co. ; both will be valuable additions 

 to our stock of summer blooming plants. 



Collection of Wm. Wales : Some good Azaleas, very fine cut roses and pots 

 of Fuchsias. 



A bouquet of hardy spring flowers was exhibited by Wm. E. Carter ; among 

 others we noticed Trillium grandiflorum, fine blooms; Iberis Teuoriana, 

 Phlox divaricata, (fine). 



Fine pots of Verbenas were shown by J.imes McTear.

Collection of Edward S. Rand: Campylobotrys discolor, (new), a very fine 

 foliaged plant, of symmetrical growth, and most ornamental ; requires a stove. 

 DracEenas ferrea, terminalis and gracilis, all fine foliaged plants. Rhopala 

 corcovadensis, and Jongheii, the former very ornamental from its graceful 

 o-rowth and the color of its leaves; the la'ter remarkable for its large, broad, 

 spreading foliage. 



Latania rubra. As yet very rare, even in England ; a splendid plant, resem- 

 bles L. Bourbonica, but far finer; margins of divisions of the leaves delicately 

 tinged with red ; foliage spreading. A stove plant of easy culture. 



Latania Bourbonica. A handsome stove plant. 



Livingstonia. A fine African Palm ; very ornamental ; never before ex- 

 hibited.
