The display of cut flowers was very fine. Its effect was much increased by 

 the fine gladiolus, tube roses, gloxineas, erythrinas, hybrid perpetual roses, and 

 Japan Lilies, plentifully intermingled with the less showy flowers. The new 

 double zinnias were also conspicuous, but usually in dull colors.
