 eiglitecn spik(>s and a report of merit

 port of merit for splendid flowers of Bob 

 Pulling, Alice Day, Nagirroe, Mrs. (Jib- 

 son and Mrs. Mitchell chrysanthemums. 



(Jeorge F. Stewart, of Waltham, the 

 first speaker of the evening, dwelt on 

 the recent convention of the National 

 Association of Gardeners, which he com- 

 mended highly. He admired the archi- 

 tectural features of the new Episcopal 

 and Eomaii Catholic cathedrals of New 

 York. He also admired the immense 

 range of greenhouses at Bronx i)ark; the 

 culture of the inmates of the latter, 

 however, left much to be desired. The 

 collections of plants were poor, of hard- 

 wooded stock especially so. Outdoor 

 plantings also did not appeal to him at 

 all. Ill the Central P.'irk greenhouses 

 the houses devoted to tropical i)lants 

 were well done, cyclamens in frames l>e- 

 ing especially fine. 



Kobert Cameron descril)ed visits to 

 estates and nurseries in and about Phila- 

 delphia. At the Widener estate, where 

 Willi.'im Kleinheinz has charge, all the 

 occupants of the extensive greenhouse 

 range showed fine culture. The French 

 g.'irden and general ])lanting, however, 

 did not im])ress liim favor.'ibly. At the 

 E. T. Stotesburg estate, which is com- 

 paratively new, some three millions had 

 been si)ent on the house and a similar 

 sum on the flowers. Although there had 

 been :u\ extravagant expenditure of 

 money, sufticient to create a great dis- 

 l)lay, the estate did not .•i])peal to him. 

 The i>lantiiig was not in good taste. At 

 Comj)ton, Chestnut Hill, the est.ate of 

 the late Jolin T. Morris, lie saw !i charm- 

 ing estate, well jilanted with a s]>lendid 

 assortment of ;ill harrly material, a fine 

 j)l;ice for study and ;ic(iuiriiig knowl- 

 edges and an ideal training i)lace for 

 young gardeners. The Anderson Nurs- 

 eries, Chestnut Hill, contained an im- 

 mense amount of choice trees and 

 shrubs, many in Large sizes. The i)lant- 

 ing around the residence of the i>roiirie- 

 tor, William Warner Harper, w;is ex- 

 tremely tasteful. 



W. N. Craig des<'ril)t'(l the estate of 

 S.'imuel T'ntermyer, Yonkers, and that 

 of John D. Rockefeller, in the Pocm- 

 tico hills. The formal garden and Jap- 

 anese garden at the latter estate were 

 among the most delightful and satisfy- 

 ing seen. In the big storage house were 

 grand specimens of oranges, twenty feet 

 or more in height, also huge bay trees, 

 oleanders, pittosporums, bamboos, eu- 

 ryas, etc. The F. R. Pierson Co., Scar-
