NEW YORK SHOW. 



The June exhibition of the Horticul- 

 tural Society of New York and the 

 American Rose Society was held in the 

 Museum building of the New York 

 Botanical Garden, June 5 and 6. The 

 continued cold weather just before the 



exhibition retarded the peonies and 

 roses and the display of these flowers 

 was, therefore, relatively small. There 

 was an excellent display of the flowers 

 of shrubs and trees and of herbaceous 

 plants, including a large representation 

 of irises. The display of flowers of 

 shrubs and trees by A. Lahodny, gar- 

 dener for T. A. Havemeyer, was of 

 especial excellence, containing many 

 unusual things. A large display was 

 made by Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, 

 N. J., including a collection of irises, 

 another of flowers of herbaceous plants 

 and one of rhododendron flowers. A 

 group of plants containing fine speci- 

 mens of pelargoniums, calceolarias^ 

 spiraeas and fuchsias, exhibited by Mrs. 

 F. A. Constable, attracted much atten- 

 tion. Following is a list of the awards:
