NEWPORT, R. I. 



An exceedingly interesting and instruc- 

 tive lecture on the iris was delivered at 

 Music hall last week under the auspices 

 of the Newport Horticultural Society. 

 The speaker was Arthur Harrington, of 

 Madison, N. J. The speaker was intro- 

 duced by President John B. Urquhart, 

 and at the conclusion of the lecture, 

 which was mostly in explanation of 

 stereopticon slides, nearly 100 of which 

 were used, numerous questions were an- 

 swered. Mr. Herrington illustrated and 

 described the different groups of irises 

 and the best conditions for each, giving 

 the scientific names of each and going 

 from those blooming in January to those 

 blooming in July. Most of the pictures 

 were colored and beautiful, and the lec- 

 ture was much enjoyed by all.
