NEWPORT, R. L 



Some very interesting and meritorious 

 exhibits were noted at the recent show 

 of the Newport Horticultural Society, 

 September 20-22. James Garthly, gard- 

 ener to H. H. Rogers, secured a silver 

 medal for Begonia grandiflora erecta 

 cristata, which he exhibited at Boston 

 earlier in the summer. This promises 

 to be a useful plant; the flowers were 

 of a fine pink color and fimbriated. 

 The group of Nephrolepis Scottii, from 

 John Scott, was much admired. It re- 

 ceived a silver medal, against a certifi- 

 cate of merit awarded at the June show. 

 Dreer's exhibit of nymphseas was extra 

 fine. The handsome new pale blue 

 Pennsylvania, with flowers a foot across, 

 received a silver medal. This is one of 

 the finest nymphseas we have ever seen. 

 It is not yet in commerce, but is the 

 very finest of the Zanzibariensis type, 



Andrew Pow, gardener to Mrs. Cor- 

 nelius Vanderbilt, staged a charming 

 group of the brilliant scarlet Nerine 

 Fothergilli major, which was awarded a 

 bronze medal. The plants showed excel- 

 lent culture. Special commendation is 

 due to the first prize group of foliage 

 plants from Andrew S. Meikle, gardener 

 to Mrs. W. S. Wells; his plants were 

 finely grown. W. G. Postinop, gardener 

 to Mrs. Winthrop Chandler, secured the 

 silver medal offered for the best new 

 seedling dahlia. It was named in honor 

 of his employer. 



Gardenias are especial favorites at 

 Newport and are always well shown. 

 Those from Mrs. C. Vanderbilt, Perry 

 Belmont and Mrs. Wm. Astor were extra 

 good. N. F. Burt's winning collection 

 of cactus dahlias was very fine and in- 

 cluded a beautiful selection. 



The classes provided for table decora- 

 tions on the second day were well com- 

 peted for. They were judged by Mrs. 

 Lorillard Spencer, Miss Anna F. Hunter 

 and Mrs. Hamilton Fish Webster. Mrs. 

 J. R. Drexel's special prizes for best 

 table decoration of dahlias went to 

 Joseph Gibson, gardener to James Still- 

 man, who used Vloker, a bright yellow 

 variety, and Oscar Schultz, who used 

 Progenitor, dark red. For the best 

 decoration of out-door flowers and foli- 

 age, exclusive of roses and dahlias, Gib- 

 son Bros, won by using Salvia splendens 

 to good effect. Oscar Schultz, who was 

 second, used Lilium speciosum roseum 

 with Clematis paniculata. The exhibit 

 of fruit was poor but vegetables were 

 very good. The judges were William 

 Anderson, South Lancaster, Mass., John 

 Scott and Warren Spaulding.

The Market. 



Trade during the last few weeks has 

 been very good, and the great scarcity 

 of flowers has made it appear as though 

 we were extra busy. Considerable fu- 

 neral work has helped to increase the 

 demand for white flowers, while we note 

 numerous large weddings, and other dec- 

 orations. Dahlies have been plentiful, 

 but outside of that cut flowers have 

 been decidedly short. 



Various Notes. 



Dunlop's King street store has re- 

 ceived its finishing touch from the hands 

 of the decorators and it is certainly very 

 artistic.
