THE GARDENING WORLD 
July 23, 1887. 
Society: Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Boston; Penn¬ 
sylvania Horticultural Society, and Pennsylvania Horticultural 
Association, Philadelphia. 
Thomas Moore Memorial. — Subscriber: "VTe will inquire 
what is being done. 
Cheery to Name. — T. F. £ Son: It may be Hogg’s Red Gean, 
but is probably only a wilding. 
Strawberry to Name. — J. 31. P : The fruits were so badly 
packed that they were all smashed and unrecognisable before 
they reached us. They had lost not only their shape but their 
colour, by rolling about in the box. 
Seedling Double Begonias. — It. C.: For size, variety of 
colour and fullness, your double flowers were certainly very flue. 
All of them were very large, and one, of a semi-globular form, was 
pure white, with the exception of the outer pink segments, 
which, however, were hidden underneath the flower. A very 
massive scarlet form, consisting of an immense number of little 
rosettes, was also a striking flow'er; but we should rather prefer 
another even larger form, of a paler scarlet, with longer, looser 
petals, as being much more artistic and graceful. In striking 
contrast to this v T as a crimson flower, with the central mass of 
petals very much shorter than the primary outer ones, and 
almost as hard as a cricket ball. A very pleasing pink and rosy 
pink, semi-globose flower, with numerous white centres, pre¬ 
sented a very pleasing combination. Another novelty was a 
small, double yellow, and resemblng the tints seen in many 
Tea Roses. Several other shades were represented, and nearly 
all the result of proliferation of female flowers having their 
ovaries free, with numerous ovules on the margins or all over the 
lower half of the upper surface of the petals or open carpels. 
The male type of doubles was represented by a large rosy red 
or scarlet flower, with a greatly elongated axis.

LONDON SEED TRADE. 
July 20th. 
Messrs. Hurst & Son, 152, Houndsditch, and 39, 
Seed Market, Mark Lane, London, report a very 
small attendance at to-day’s market. Sellers of 
Trifolium are asking ridiculously high, prices for 
English Seed, and meet with no buyers at present. 
Mustard aud Rape keep steady. Some sales have been 
made in Hew Imported Italian Rye Grass at cheap 
figures. Canary and Linseed keep steady. There is 
an improvement in Blue Peas, fine samples making more 
money. -_
