Ferns and Selaginellas. 



The ferna are an especially strong 

 feature of the show. In the commercial 

 classes J. A. Peterson & Sons and W. A. 

 Manda show splendidly finished Cibo- 

 tium Schiedei, and F. R. Pierson is 

 well represented with nephrolepis va- 

 rieties. The private gardeners have 

 brought their best. J. T, Whittaker 

 and Thomas Long have wonderfully 

 perfect adiantums and T. W. Logan has 

 a cibotium that possibly is the largest 

 in America. Wm. Robertson has a 

 splendid example of the staghorn fern 

 and the specimen brought by J. Goodier 

 is scarcely less perfect. 



Th awards in the fern classes were:

Bulbs in Flower. 



The bulbous stock is almost entirely 

 by the gardeners. The notable excep- 

 tion is the Michell Dutch garden, which 

 was awarded a gold medal and a cash 

 prize of $150. The Robert Craig Co. 

 has a fine show of lilies. 



But there were seventy-three classes 

 for bulbous stock open only to private 

 gardeners and nearly all filled with 

 from two to half a dozen entries. In 

 spite of the complaints that are heard 

 of the poor flowering quality of many 

 of the bulbs this season, all these ex- 

 hibits were fine. Nearly all classes 

 were for named varieties, so that the 

 following list of awards will show 

 what each gardener had for his best:

 delphia. Pa., first.
