The Carnations. 



The caruation section was staged 

 ]March 124 under the management of 

 the American Carnation Societ}". The 

 carnation men insist that March is too 

 late to show their flowers at their best 

 and the carnation section did not com- 

 pare with the roses for extent or in- 

 terest. Matchless, Philadelphia and 

 Prince.ss Dagmar, of this year's novel- 

 ties, were in good shape. Alice Coombs, 

 a 1915 debutante, was excellent and 

 Laura Weber was good. Enchantress 

 Supreme, Pink Delight, Gloriosa and 

 Mrs. Ward were the best of the stan- 

 dard varieties. The awards were:

The Bose Plants. 



Kose plants are much more largely 

 shown than a year ago, the plants also 

 being much larger and better flowered. 

 M. H. Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass., has 

 an imposing display, all his own seed- 

 lings. There are forty specimens six 

 to seven feet high and of proportion- 

 ate width, and many smaller ones. In- 

 cluded f.re Lady Gay, Arcadia, Mrs. M.

 specimens trained as umbrellas, bas- 

 kets, pyramids, etc. One umbrella 

 standard is ten feet high. A large 

 basket of Tausendschon was beautiful. 

 The large groups of H. C. Steinhoflf 

 and A. Schultheis are great features, 

 hybrid perpetuals, ramblers, hybrid 

 teas and other types being included, 

 both standards and dwarfs. A. N.

 roses. The awards in full were:

Palms and Foliage Plants. 



The superb group of gloriosa from 

 Julius Roehrs Co., which received a 

 gold medal, is a great feature of the 

 show. There are fifty large plants car- 

 rying twenty-five to forty flowers each, 

 all in perfect condition. No such 

 group of gloriosa had ever been seen 

 at a show in America. The ladies 

 seem charmed with these flowers. 

 Roehrs' collection of stove and green- 

 house plants, foliage and flowering, is 

 splendid. It includes anthuriums, Cal- 

 la Elliottiana, Crossandra infundibuli- 

 formis and a host of fine foliage sub- 

 jects. This exhibitor has splendid col- 

 lections of anthuriums, dracaenas, cro- 

 tons, etc. Bobbink & Atkins have an 

 attractive group, their plants being 

 mostly cool greenhouse ones. Mrs. D. 

 Willis James, Wi H. Duckham, gar- 

 dener, and other private growers show 

 foliage plants of grand quality. W^ A. 

 Manda also has a superb collection. 



Palms are larger and more numerous 

 than in 1!)].'5. A few noteworthy ones 

 are the grand specimens of Cyathea 

 medullaris, Caryota urens, Phoenix ru- 

 picola, P. Roebelenii, Seaforthia ele- 

 gans, Kentia Forsteriana and Cocos 

 j)lumosa, the latter thirty feet high. 

 W. A. Manda has splendid plants of 

 Phopnix rupicola, Cocos australis and 

 others. His Cycas circinalis also is 

 noteworthy. There are many other ex- 

 hibitors of large palms. Phoenix Roe- 

 belenii is seen on every hand. 



The awards in full in these classes 

 were:
