tliis color would not sell except in a 

 moderate way, the varieties Bertie 

 Asher and Loyalty possess great vigor, 

 are floriferous and are worthy of a 

 place in any collection. Many fine vari- 

 eties are not named in this review, but 

 the foregoing seemed to the writer to 

 be the leaders in their respective colors.

MORSE'S EXPOSITION GARDEN. 



The present summer garden of C. C. 

 Morse & Co., San Francisco, at the 

 Panama-Pacific exposition, is both 

 striking and beautiful, and is winning 

 much attention from professional gar- 

 deners and florists. 



The garden, a view of which is 

 shown on this page, consists entirely 

 of annuals, practically all of them in 

 full bloom. Snapdragons are a feature 

 just now, rivaling even the splendid 

 showings of gladioli in full bloom in 

 other gardens at the exposition. Sev- 

 <'ral beds of snapdragons in the C. C. 

 Morse & Co. garden are of particular 

 interest. One of these consists of 

 Amber Queen, White Queen and Golden 

 Morn, with Coccinea in the middle, 

 interplanted with Delphinium Azure 

 Fairy. Another bed is a combination 

 '•f Carmine Queen snapdragon and 

 lioliotrope. A four-bed snapdragon 

 ilesign is worked out with Yellow 

 Queen, Cottage Maid and Scarlet Kinjr 

 ' ombined with Amber Queen, and 

 White Queen combined with Golden 

 Morn. The snapdragons are entirely 

 1 lee from rust and are doing finely. 



In the center of the garden is a bed 

 •^'f blue shades, anchusas. Salvia patens. 



lupines, delphinium^, lobelias and 

 brachycome. About this are grouped 

 many other beds, including a bed of 

 godetias edged with Snowball lobelia; 

 a bed of selected pentstemons inter- 

 planted with Gilia tricolor, Clarkias 

 Vesuvius, Queen Mary, Orange King 

 and Carmine Queen; a bed of holly- 

 hocks, lupines and larkspurs; a bed of 

 five varieties of salvia, edged with 

 lobelias; a bed of Mimulus Queen's 

 Prize and prize strain pansies; a bed 

 of Salpiglossis New p]mperor and 

 Xemesia Blue Gem, with Nemesia com- 

 pacta Triumph, Gypsophila elegans and 

 clarkias in the center; a bed of Godetia 

 Schwaminii, lupines, stocks and ver- 

 benas; some good beds of i)etunias; a 

 bed of four varieties of annual chrys- 

 anthemums, four varieties of calliopsis 

 and sunflowers; a bed of four varieties 

 of zinnias, four varieties of marigolds, 

 Iceland poppy and kaulfussia, and a 

 /^bed of seven varieties of phlox with 

 Aretotis grandis. 



The garden is edged with sweet peas, 

 which went up to a height of ten feet, 

 were then laid down, and are now 

 growing up again. A. P. B.

 feared rain remained at home or at
