Kichardson seedlings; Mrs. J. L. Gardner, 

 Dr. C. G. Weld, A. F. Estabrook, Mrs. 

 E. M. Gill and others. The quality of 

 blooms was very high and the interest 

 taken in these flowers appeared to be even 

 greater than in the roses, judging by the 

 crowds which gathered around them. 



The following varieties received awards 

 from the committee: Mary Louise Holli.-', 

 certificate of merit, daybreak pink color; 

 No. 732, beautiful double rose; No. 279,

 moonlight, double deep pink; No. 491 

 rose color, a fine Japanese imperial va- 

 riety; No. 986, double white, suffused 

 with shrimp pink. All the foregoing re- 

 ceived honorable mention, A beautiful 

 Japanese imperial variety with guard 

 petals, delicate pink and yellow center 

 received a certificate of merit. George 

 HoUis showed all the foregoing and many 

 other good seedlings. E. J. Shaylor re- 

 ceived certificates of merit for those two 

 grand varieties. Marguerite Girard, deli- 

 cate flesh, and Mme. Emile Lemoine,

 ter Faxon, rosy pink, and John Richard- 

 eon, rosy flesh, the latter flowered after 

 Mr. Richardson's death, received certifi- 

 cates of merit. Samuel Henshaw, in the 

 same collection, was the recipient of the 

 highest award, a silver medal. This is 

 a magnificent variety, stems of wonder- 

 ful strength, flower of immense size, in 

 form like a Mayflower chrysanthemum, 

 color beautiful light, rosy pink, tinged 

 ^vith white. A few of the finest other 

 peonies noted which will be of value to 

 commercial growers were Mme. Geissler, 

 Baroness Schroeder, Mme. Lemoine, Eu- 

 gene Verdier, Mons. Chevreuil. Mme. 

 Crousse, Lady Isadore, Mme. Chaumy,

 perennials and grasses. Mr. Cameron 

 also showed a large tank of aquatics, in- 

 cluding fine specimens of nymphseas and 

 other choice species. F. J. Rea, W. Heus- 

 tis & Son, C. W. Parker, W. Hunnewell, 

 Mrs. J. B. Lawrence and others showed 

 perennials.

 Nelson Fisher, Mrs. Patten and Enchant-

 for so late in the season. There were 

 large displays of sweet williams and other 

 seasonable flowers. E. A. Clark had a 

 large staud of finely grown gloxinias 

 mixed with adiantum. Mrs. J. L. Gardner, 

 Wm. Thatcher, gardener, had a circular 

 group of palms, gloxinias, orchids, etc. 

 R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had numerous 

 palms and ferns. J. S. Bailey, J. Nylan, 

 gardener, put up a superb group of palms 

 in the center of the large hall which was 

 greatly admired. It contained seventy- 

 flve plants in forty-six varieties, including 

 many new and scarce sorts. 



Vegetables made a fine show, while 

 strawberries were unusually good. Marsh- 

 all was once more easily the champion 

 variety, followed by Sample, Glen Mary, 

 Nich Ohmer, Minute Man and Belmont. 

 From Miss E. J. Clark, John Ash, gar- 

 dener, came a group of pot-grown fruit 

 trees, including peaches, nectarines, 

 plums, apples and pears, which received 

 a silver gilt m^dal. The same exhibitor 

 showed very flne bunches of Diamond 

 Jubilee and Black Hamburg grapes and 

 peaches. 



Various Notes. 



The agitation for a new independent 

 cut flower market appears to drag anl 

 it is doubtful if the new movement will 

 materialize, or if it materializes if it 

 will be a success. A number of the 

 aggrieved members are said to owe rent 

 and premiums to the present market and 

 their absence would not be mourned. 



McMulkin, Doyle and Galvin have had 

 some large wedding decorations during 

 Juno. Trinity church was finely decor- 

 ated by McMulkin on June 18. 



S. J. Goddard has both of his new houso'^ 

 planted with mums and carnations and 

 will be strongly in evidence in the mar- 

 ket another fall. He is growing mar 

 of his carnations indoors. 



W. Cooper has left the employ of W. 

 L. Lewis, of Marlboro, and entered with 

 the Worcester Conservatories. He was 

 connected with the Marlboro establish- 

 ment for a number of years. 



Carnations are making a fine growth 

 in the fields, the warm days and cool 

 nights seeming to suit them. An increas- 

 ing number are trying indoor culture 

 this season.

 fruit growers in our state. He received 

 on two occasions the first prize offered
