fering of nice rhododendrons. Scotch 

 heather and Spanish iris were popular 

 lines. Some nice bougainvilleas in 

 small pots attracted considerable atten- 

 tion. Both potted and cut lilacs were 

 unusually fine and found a good sale, 

 purple predominating. 



Of cut flowers, most bulbous stock is 

 getting rather scarce, and good prices 

 are realized for late daffodils and 

 freesias, the latter being largely used in 

 decorative work. Darwin tulips are in 

 good demand at easy prices. Cut lilies 

 find a large sale. Violets are scarce, 

 but some are still being shipped east. 

 Roses are in only moderate supply, and 

 move readily. Cecile Brunner is in 

 strong demand^ with a moderate supply. 

 Russell, Taft and Frau Karl Druschki 

 are quite popular. Cattleyas and 

 phalsenopsis are in better supply, but by 

 no means plentiful, and clean up well. 

 A good supply of all grades of gar- 

 denias is readily disposed of. Sweet 

 peas are fairly plentiful and quite pop- 

 ular. 



Tlie Exposition Gardens. 



In the horticultural gardens of the 

 Panama-Pacific exposition, the Califor- 

 nia Nursery Co., of Niles, has just set 

 out an exhibit of Pacific coast conifers, 

 all fine specimens, including one each 

 of ninety-four varieties, from dwarfs to 

 twelve feet in height. This exhibit 

 gains much from its location, being di- 

 rectly in front of the massive log pile 

 of the Lumbermen's building. Notable 

 exhibits in this class have also been 

 planted by the New England Nursery 

 Co., Bedford, Mass., and the Bay State 

 Nurseries, North Abington, Mass. 



The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, 

 Pa., has planted a large plot of cannas, 

 including a number of fine varieties. 

 Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., is putting 

 in 13,000 gladiolus bulbs, and John 

 Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, N. Y., is 

 planting 11,000 gladiolus bulbs in thirty- 

 three varieties. Vaughan's Seed Store, 

 Chicago, also is putting in a large col- 

 lection of gladioli and cannas. B. H. 

 Farr, Wyomissing, Pa., has planted 163 

 varieties of German iris. 



W. W. Wilmore, Sr,, of Denver, and 

 W. W. Wilmore, Jr., of Wheat Ridge, 

 Colo., are both setting out large exhib- 

 its of dahlias. Forbes & Keith, New 

 Bedford, Mass., expect to make a not- 

 able showing with their new seedling 

 dahlias. 



While the climate at the exposition 

 was not considered highly favorable for 

 rose exhibits, good results are promised 

 from the plantings of the Gill Nursery 

 Co., Berkeley, Cal., and H. W. Turner, 

 Montebello, who is showing his new 

 rose, September MoA. Other plantings 

 of roses which are doing well are those 

 of the Vallance Nursery Co., Oakland, 

 Cal.; Henry Eichholz, Waynesboro, 

 Pa.; Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove, 

 Pa.; C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and 

 Peter Lambert, of Trier, Germany.
