 June 21. — Exhibited. Flowers: The exhibition of roses took place for 

 premiums ; but owing to the season being much later than usual, there was 

 not a great display ; several of the largest cultivators did not exhibit a sin- 

 gle flower. The pseonies, however, were exceedingly splendid, by far the 

 finest ever seen in the room, and were just in perfection. Cut flowers 

 were exhibited in variety, from Messrs. Breck & Son, M. P. Wilder, P. 

 Barnes, E. S. Rand, Jr., J. Nugent, W, C. Strong, Galvin & Hogan, and 

 others. Messrs. Burr sent a new plant, which was probably a Pentstemon, 

 from Columbia River. Messrs. Hovey & Co. sent superb specimens of 

 Kalmia latifolia, hardy azaleas, rhododendrons, and 15 varieties moss roses. 

 The names of the paeonies which obtained the first prize were as follows : 

 Arsene Murat, Festiva, Ne Plus Ultra, Papaveriflora, Triumph du Nord, 

 Festiva Maxima, Francis Ortegal, Prince Prosper d'Aremberg, Sinensis 

 Delachii, and fulgida, the last four all new dark colored varieties of great 

 beauty.
