Well-grown Azalea indica was shown by Edward MacMulkin 

 of Boston and by Edward W. Breed of Clinton. As these exhibitors 

 were both commercial growers the varieties were quite common- 

 place and mostly double, lacking the delicate beauty of single- 

 flowered forms. Mr. MacMulkin's varieties were Van der Cruysen, 

 red; Emperor of Brazil, white with red-markings; Raphael and 

 Talisman, rosy pink; Bernard Andraes, white; and Louis Van 

 Houtte, red. Mr. Breed's collection included Empress of India, 

 w^hite and pink; J. T. D. Llewellyn, rose with red markings; 

 Simon Mardner, flesh pink; Niobe, white; and Van der Cruysen. 



Extra fine specimens of palms were shown by Edward Mac- 

 Mulkin, William Whitman, and Mrs. Frederick -Ayer. The first 

 prize went to Mr. MacMulkin for a very fine pair of Kentia Bel- 

 moreana; the second to Mrs. Ayer with exceptionally well-grown 

 plants of Areca lutescens. Mrs. Ayer had good specimen Ericas 

 and took first and second prizes. The kinds shown were E. 

 persohita, vars. alba and rosea; E. arborea; E. melanthera; and E. 

 urceolaris. 



M. H. Walsh of Woods Hole was awarded the Silver and Bronze 

 Medals and first and second prizes for rambler roses. They were 

 of excellent quality, carefully forced, so that they lasted in excellent 

 condition throughout the exhibition which lasted ten days. Ap- 

 pended is a list of the best varieties: Lady Gay, cherry pink; 

 Kalmia, white, tips of the petals pink, resembling the flower of the 

 Kalmia plant; Hiawatha; Coquina, single, shell pink; Friar
