noon and evening of June 3, when the 

 Natural History Club of Lansdowne 

 gave its seventh annual exhibition of 

 roses and outdoor flowers. The club 

 house is particularly well adapted to a 

 flower show. The hall is light and well 

 proportioned, large enough to hold a 

 good-sized show without crowding and 

 to set it off advantageously. A dark 

 red curtain at the rear of the stage made 

 an effective background for the peonies 

 and the non-competitive long-stemmed 

 roses and daisies that were used for 

 decorative effect. From it, to the right 

 and to the left of the stage, ran long 

 tables filled with roses and outdoor 

 flowers in the competitive classes, while 

 in the center were tastefully arranged 

 small tables with individual exhibits 

 of miscellaneous flowers. 



It was surprising how large and how 

 fine a show could be held so early in 

 the season — not so early on the calen- 

 dar, but so early in the flowering sea- 

 son outdoors. It really seemed that 

 everything was in perfection, though

the critical noticed the green straw- 

 berries among their riper fellows and 

 the tendency toward what might be 

 described as buddiness in the peonies. 

 The rose exhibit for the American Kose 

 Society's silver medal brought out four 

 entries in the class for twelve hybrid 

 tea roses. They were four good entries, 

 all well staged and named. 

 Dr. Kobert G. Huey carried off the 



medal. The handle baskets were a 

 pleasing novelty. The fair exhibitors 

 made excellent use of garden material 

 in these pretty receptacles. The table 

 devoted to children's flowers, mostly 

 wild flowers, was interesting. Competi- 

 tion was limited to children under 15 

 years of age. While this was probably 

 strictly carried out, the exhibits sug- 

 gested aid from older heads and hands
