PHILADELPHIA SHOW. 



(Continued from page 17.) 



where the botanist lingered over his tiny 

 specialties, in the smallest pots made. 



The end of the hall, against the grand 

 stairway, contained some fine stock. The 

 specimen plants included a Dracsena San- 

 deriana, rarely seen among the big fel- 

 lows. John W. Mclntyre had a pretty 

 table containing a vase each of French 

 white lilacs, yellow daisies, double violets 

 and lavender sweet peas. Farther on, the 

 same exhibitor had pink and white sweet 

 peas, large blooms on long stems. Beside 

 this, the Eobert Craig Co. had a specimen 

 pan, of great size, of Lorraine begonia, 

 Lonsdale type, exceedingly weJl grown. 



The varieties of chrysanthemums grown 

 as specimen plants, and placed in the 

 center of the hall, showed little change 

 from previous years. The Cockerhill 

 prizes keep the pompon varieties alive, 

 while such good old-timers as George W. 

 Childs, Merza, Col. Appleton, Mrs. Weeks, 

 etc., still reign. The novelties in this 

 class are two groups of the single flow- 

 ered varieties of the anemone type. To 

 me these groups recall exquisitely colored 

 Cineraria stellata, in their masses of 

 bloom. 



The foyer was filled with specimen 

 ferns and foliage plants from the finest 

 suburban greenhouses, plants that could 

 not be duplicated here in many years. 

 After going carefully over this section I 

 wrote down the names of six wonderful 

 ferns grown by Thomas Long, as most 

 worthy of record, but on reflection the 

 names are omitted, as it is the grower, 

 rather than the varieties, that is respon- 

 sible for the result, and few if any of us 

 can hope to produce such stock. The 

 same exhibitor brought a new nephrolepis, 

 said to be the only plant of this variety 

 in the country. It is called N. exaltata 

 superba and may be briefly described as 

 a plumed Boston. This fern received the 

 society's silver medal. 



The cream of the exhibition staged be- 

 tween the main hall and the foyer was 

 the cut blooms of chrysanthemums. The 

 competition was intense here, and such 

 flowers are worth traveling miles to see 

 — perfect in color, form and foliage, of 

 immense size and held erect on stout 

 stems. 



The class for fifty blooms, ten varieties 

 of five each, brought out : Charles Totty, 

 bronze red; Dr. Enguehard, pink; Gen- 

 eral Hutton, yellow; Mrs. Wm. Duckham, 

 yellow ; Lynnwood Hall, white ; Miss May 

 Frick, white; Mrs. J. C. Neil, yellow; 

 Morton F. Plant, rose-pink; Wm. Duck- 

 ham, pink, and Mary Donnellan, orange.
