 F. C. LuckenBach, gardener; Adolph 

 Lewisohn, J. Canning, gardener; W. 

 B. Thompson and C. K. G. Billings, 

 Jaines Bell, gardener, are all splendid.

 P. malacoideg is t^wbest of the whole 

 primrose falftily. xT&e dozen from F. 

 V, Burton, Newburgh, Wm. Cordis, 

 gardener, are beauties. 



'imk French hydrangeas are shown in 

 greav numbers. Plants of Mousseline,

 beautiful specimens, each carrying 

 twenty-five to forty heads of bloom.

 fine and attract a lot of favorable 

 comment. Madsen & Christensen, as 

 usual, have some wonderful specimens 

 of marguerites. Geum coccineum Mrs. 

 Bradshaw, a hardy perennial with 

 double scarlet flowers, is well shown 

 by J. J. Goodwin, and merited the cer- 

 tificate of merit awarded.
