PHILADELPHIA. 



' ' Place all the 6-inch chrysanthe- 

 mums on the stairAvay, ' ' was Secretary 

 Rust's directions to Mr. McGregor on 

 the morning of the second day of the 

 annual fall show in Horticultural hall. 

 This was done, with telling effect, the 

 6-inch pots, with their perfect specimen 

 flowers and clean foliage, adorning the 

 magnificent stairway in a manner wholly 

 different from the usual groups of long- 

 steuimed cut flowers in vases. The whole 

 interior of the hall, as well as of the 

 foyer, was also rearranged, the effect 

 being vastly heightened thereby. 



The second <lay brought out the cut 

 roses, carnations and violets, and a large 

 number of growers, who came especially 

 to see the novelties. They were well 

 worth ^eing. The rose novelties includ- 

 ed Mrs. Jardine and a coppery-colored, 

 tulip-shaped bud with yellow on the inner 

 petals, both from Robert Scott & Son, 

 Sharon Hill, Pa. These have previously 

 been described in this column. A rose 

 of a lovely shade of pink came from 

 John Cook, Baltimore, pretty in bud 

 form as well as when half open. A fine 

 ])air of novelties brought by E. G. Hill, 

 Richmond, Ind., were- Rhea Reid, a bright 

 red rose of great size and substance, 

 which was much admired, and Princess, 

 an exquisite soft pink with long, pointed 

 bud, rather single. 



Among the carnations the exhibits at- 



Some of tlic Vases of Ten Muou at Boston.
