the true Lady Alexandra Duff, a fine 

 variety, different from the many other 

 varieties we have seen of this extremely 

 variable Kelway peony; Marguerite 

 Gerard, excellent light pink; L' Esper- 

 ance, good, bright pink; Baroness Schroe- 

 der, fine white; rosea superba, good rose- 

 pink; Mme. Emile Lemoine, superb deli- 

 cate pink; "Venus, a beautiful light pink; 

 M. Jules Elie, good commercial rose- 

 pink; M. M. Gahuzac, probably the best 

 dark red; Felix Crousse, dark red; Due 

 de "Wellington, Taglioni, lutea plenis- 

 sima. Mile. Bosseau, grandiflora nivea, 

 Marie Stuart, Mile. Desbuissons, Adolphe 

 Bousseau, Therese (Dessert), very fine. 

 Sarah Bernhardt and Cytheree were other 

 desirable sorts noted in a collection, com- 

 prising hundreds of the choicest sorts 

 from Dessert, Calot, Lemoine, Kelway 

 and other European hybridizers, as well 

 as all the choicest American varieties. 



After the peonies had been well scru- 

 tinized, an adjournment was made to 

 Mr, Shaylor 's home, where Mrs. and Miss 

 Shaylor had tables groaning with a 

 bountiful supply of good things for the 

 inner man. After all had enjoyed their 

 repast. President Downs made a short 

 speech, thanking the hosts of the day for 

 kindnesses received. Three cheers and a 

 tiger were given with a will. Mr. Shay- 

 lor humorously and suitably responded. 

 Boston was reached on the return trip at 

 7:30, after a pleasant and profitable 

 outing. 



Exhibition. 



Although there was no provision in the 

 schedule for a show at Horticultural hall 

 June 19, there was a really fine exhibi- 

 tion, peonies of course predominating. 

 "William Thatcher, from Mrs. J. L. Gard- 

 ner 's, had a good collection. M. Sulli- 

 van, gardener to William "Whitman, had 

 125 vases of choice varieties. T. C. 

 Thurlow and E. J. Shaylor were each 

 awarded a silver medal for superb col- 

 lections, including all the choicest varie- 

 ties. George HoUis had eighteen varie- 

 ties of excellent seedlings awarded hon- 

 orable mention. C. "W. Parker received 

 honorable mention for Iris pallida Dal- 

 matica and F. J. Eea a similar award 

 for a display of seedling German irises. 

 "W. "W. Bawson & Co. had a fine lot of 

 Lilium croceum and Spanish iris, also 

 awarded honorable mention. 



There was great indignation at the 

 closing of this interesting show at 3 

 o'clock Saturday afternoon. In justice 

 to the exhibitors and many would-be 

 visitors it should at least have been open 

 until evening, although there would seem 

 to have been no good reason why it could 

 not have remained open Sunday after- 

 noon also, as in the case of other shows. 

 Such treatment of exhibitors can only 

 result in harm to the society.
