cular piece of ground, nearly level, en- 

 sconced on the hilltop. In the center of 

 this plot a beautiful display of many- 

 colored irises, some growing, others in 

 pots among growing plants. Nearly sur- 

 rounding this a superb background of 

 noble trees, divided from the floral the- 

 ater by blooming plants of Chrysanthe- 

 mum segetum and ferns on a gently 

 sloping bank. Throw in a Japanese sum- 

 mer house, a stream, a rustic bridge, a 

 fountain and walks, and you can form 

 some idea of the exquisite beauty of the 

 iris show at the Andorra Nurseries, 



It was a departure — something dif- 

 ferent from the usual run of shows, some- 

 thing evidently appreciated by the flow- 

 er lovers near and far. Samuel C. Moon 

 came all the way from Morrisville to see 

 that show and stated positively that 

 every nurseryman should do such educa- 

 tional work. The Garden Club of Phila- 

 delphia, an exclusive association of ladies 

 who stand for what is best of floral 

 taste, came fifty or sixty strong and 

 were loud (I use this word in its most 

 refined sense) in their praise. 



The enterprise of the Andorra Nur- 

 series was further shown by a wonder- 

 ful roadway, said to be two miles long, 

 winding in and out through the nursery, 

 so that visitors to this or other shows 

 will naturally see the specimen trees and 

 shrubs as they come and go. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Cowee, of Meadowvale Farm, 

 Berlin, X. Y., has kindly consented to 

 speak before the Florists' Club at the 

 July meeting, on gladioli. Mr. Cowee 

 is a specialist who has been wonder- 

 fully successful, and his talk will be 

 looked forward to with lively interest. 



E. W. Goehring, of Frankford, a pi- 

 oneer in the placing of peonies in cold 

 storage, has decided that this was not 

 the year to retard many of these flowers.

 seeking inspiration on the hills above 

 the Wissahickon June 27.
