THE IRIS. 



Oh, beautiful, beautiful flower! 



The ward of the sunbeam and shower. 



In garments of woven delight. 



Of the sunset, Aurora and light. 



While over thy beauty there plays 



Such delicate tinting and rays. 



Such blending of color and shade. 



Well becoming a heavenly maid. 



Ethereal, lovely and sweet. 



Thy presence we Joyously greet. 



Thy mother, fair iris, in beauty supreme. 



Took all her rich garments of loveliest sheen. 



The robes of the rainbow, flower garden of air, 



Of bewildering beauty, resplendently fair. 



And made for ber child such a dazzling dress 



No daughter of royalty e'er could possess. 



Though her form seems so fragile, yet wondrously 



brave, 

 Away in the north land where fierce tempests 



rave, 

 She wakes from her sleep in her cradle of snow 

 And beams on the world with a radiant glow. 

 Away on the plains iu the drought and the 



heat. 

 She Is cheerfully waiting admirers to greet. 

 To her fairy presence must ever belong 

 The tributes of praise and the rapture of song.

THE DEAN HOLE MEDAL. 



On the death of Dean Hole, who had 

 for so long been the president of the 

 National Rose Society of Great Britain, 

 the members of the committee to per- 

 petuate hid memory, set themselves the 

 task of raising a sum of money for the 

 purpose of founding a medal, to be 

 known as the Dean Hole medal. It was 

 decided that the amount raised should be 

 invested, and that with the income deriva- 

 ble therefrom medals should from time to 

 time be presented to those who have 

 rendered substantial service in the cause 

 of the rose. A sufficient sum having ac- 

 cumulated to admit of the first medal 

 being struck, the selection of the recip- 

 ient has engaged the attention of the 

 executive committee for some time past, 

 and at the meeting of the general com- 

 mittee, held May 18, the medal was, by 

 unanimous vote, awarded to the Rev. 

 J. H. Pemberton, in recognition of the 

 merits of his work entitled "Roses: 

 Their History, Development and Culti- 

 vation," which was published by Long- 

 mans, Green & Co. last year. 



RHODODENDRON SOULIEI. 



Rhododendron Souliei is a miniature 

 species from China, with relatively large 

 flowers of bright rose color suflfused on 

 a pale ground. The leaves are ovate- 

 cordate and in the young state covered 

 with a glaucous bloom. They are then 

 reddish, as also are the young shoots, but 

 afterwards they become green. The 

 widely-expanded segments are divided not 

 lower than one-third their depth, the 

 blooms being about four inches in diame- 

 ter. A plant of Rhododendron Souliei 

 about nine inches high recently was ex- 

 hibited by Messrs. Jas. Veitch & Sons, 

 before the Royal Horticultural Society, 



London, and was awarded a first-class 

 certificate. The plant has proved per- 

 fectly hardy in their Coombe Wood Nur- 

 sery. 



COMMENDABLE FERNS. . 



Eleven months ago, says Wm. R. 

 Prince, of the Norton Manor Gardens, 

 near Taunton, England, I secured plants 

 of Nephrolepis Piersoni, N. Todeaoides 

 and N. Whitmani, They were in 5^- 

 inch pots, but have been shifted until 

 now they are in 14-inch pots. The plant 

 of Pierson is at the present time more 

 than seven feet through and five feet 

 high, while the specimen of Todeaoides 

 is five feet through and four feet high. 

 This latter variety forms an excellent 

 specimen plant. The habit is stiff and 

 the fronds are of a pale green color; 

 they are fringed and beautifully tas- 

 seled. The fronds of N. Whitmani are 

 not so densely divided as in N. Todea- 

 oides. My specimen of this plant is five 

 feet six inches wide and four feet high. 

 Another fern worthy a place in gardens 

 is Nephrolepis exaltata superba. The 

 compost I use for the ferns consists of 

 one part turfy loam, one part leaf -mold, 

 a small quantity of bone meal, and a lit- 

 tle of some approved fertilizer, with a 

 fair sprinkling of broken crocks and lime 

 rubble. Microlepia speluncea is another 

 fine decorative fern that soon develops 

 into a large plant. Davallia Brazilien- 

 sis, for which H. B. May & Sons received 

 an award of merit from the R. H. S. in 

 1907, is an advance in the davallia sec- 

 tion. The habit is close, and the fronds 

 finely cut. Among other ferns doing re- 

 markably well in these gardens are As- 

 plenium Belangeri, Polypodium irioides 

 ramo-cristatum, and Adiantum polyphyl- 

 lum (cardiochlana).
