Saturday, August 3d. The display was small, but the flowers sliowed the 

 benefit of the recent rains. The best display was made by Evers & Comley ; 

 the next by Hovey & Co. In the former, fine Gloxineas were conspicuous; in 

 the latter, Japan Lilies. 



Good displays were made by Barnes & Washburn, Franklin Winship, 

 Francis Parkman, Joseph Breck, James iVlcTear, Thomas Walsh, and Mrs. 

 Bruce. 



Fine roses were shown by Eliphalet Stone. 



A choice display of Gladiolus Brenchliensis by Wm. H. Spooner, Jr.; and 

 native plants by Dennis Murray. 



Saturday, August 10th. A fine display. Japan Lilies and Gladiolus begin 

 to be conspicuous in the displays of cut flowers, and annuals appear in great 

 variety. 



In the collection of Hovey & Co. we noticed the pretty annual or biennial 

 Hunnemania fumariaefolia then first exhibited. It is very pretty, much re- 

 sembling an Eschscholtzia; indeed it was by many mistaken for a large speci- 

 men of that flower ; color golden yellow. A pretty addition to our stock of 

 summer blooming plants.
