Scheeper's Bulb Garden was one of the prettiest things in the 
Show and for color effect, perfection of growth and arrangement 
deserved great praise. It was so well done that one wished he had 
made a truly and possible Bulb Garden of it, using such things as 
bloom at the same time. Perhaps he will next year. One thing that 
he had in quantity was that loveliest of Tulips, Clusiana, or the Lady 
Tulip. Evidently these are Httle known to the gardener and Mr. 
Scheepers deserves credit for making conspicuous so modest a flower. 
There were other massed flower arrangements scarcely to be called 
gardens but very gay and pretty. These were exhibited by Mr. 
Adolph Lewisohn, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney and others, and showed 
a profusion of beautifully grown plants representing every season, 
every clime and every taste. One pitied the beginning gardener who 
might take them as his or her ideal, foreseeing the bitter disappoint- 
ments that the future hid. Magnificent Daffodils were shown by 
the same two exhibitors and good Darwin and Breeder Tulips in pots. 
Their Primulas and other specimen plants were profuse and finely 
grown. Mr. Lewisohn's Nemesjas attracted interest and enthusiasm 
Two Rose Gardens were arranged by the rival Piersons and were 
pretty, if unconvincing, to the rose gardener. The Cromwell, Conn 
Pierson showed the new yellow cUmbing Rose, E mily_Grey , which wil 
be ready for distribution in 192 1. Its foliage, habit and bloom are all 
delightful and it claims to be hardy. Try it next year — but order it 
this. It is so pretty that you must not risk being without it. Other 
new roses shown were Frank Dunlop, a magnificent great pink flower, 
larger than American Beauty and with longer stems, but lacking that 
blowsy flower's vulgarity. Qdmnbia, which we have known as a 
florist's Rose these past two years, was shown in perfection by both 
Piersons and praised as a garden Rose; and Premier, Mrs. Robert Cook 
and Crusader were other beautiful novelties. 
The Tarrytown Pierson had a delightful exhibition of Ferns ar- 
ranged about a fountain in which colored Water-Lillies floated. The 
soft, quiet green was beautiful in the midst of the riot of color sur- 
rounding it. 
The exhibitions of Orchids by James B. Duke, Manda and Lager & 
Hurrell were good and "our" Mrs. Pratt took several prizes in this 
class for beautiful specimen plants. She had other prizes besides, for 
cut flowers and plants. 
No better Sweet Peas were ever shown than those exhibited late 
in the week. Burpee's exhibit was magnificent and among the many 
varieties, the following were especially delectable: Mrs^JK^errj^j^YiiiW 
salmon, Fair^, primrose pink, A_^ricot, New Cerise /Improved Snojjo-
