THE GARDENING WORLD. 
A species of Acer rarely seen was in this group, 
namely, A. carpinifolium, which is remarkable for 
having entire instead of divided leaves. Besides the 
Maples were a couple of specimens of the golden 
tinted Retinospora obtusa Crippsi which looked 
handsome in the sunshine. 
Messrs. J. Waterer and Sons, Ltd., Bagshot, 
exhibited a large assortment of well-flowered Rhodo¬ 
dendrons in pots and numerous varieties of Japanese 
Maples and other hardy ornamental trees. 
Yamato, Newbury Road, Acton, W., had a 
unique exhibit of dwarf Japanese trees and shrubs. 
The plants were treated by the celebrated Japanese 
gardener, S. Takagi. A miniature garden and 
stream with minute gold fish in it was a feature of the 
exhibit, also the gnarled specimen of Tamarix Juni- 
perina. There was also a pretty little tree of Ginkgo 
triloba so interesting to botanists. 
Messrs. W. H. Rogers & Son, Ltd , Southampton, 
had an extensive collection of cut bloom, chief hardy 
trees and shrubs. They were very effectively 
grouped in white vases on green pedestals. 
Messrs. V. N. Gauntlet & Co.. Redruth, exhibited 
cut Himalayan Rhododendrons in good form, but 
they suffered severely from dust, &c., towards the 
end of the show. 
Mrs. E. Hart, Totteridge, showed a group of pigmy 
trees ; a tiny Sago Palm, and trained Larches were 
the chief features. 
Messrs. Fromow & Sons, of Chiswick, exhibited a 
similar group of Maples fringed in front with sturdy 
little plants of the pretty Euryalatifolia variegata. 
ROSES. 
Mr. W. Piper, Uckfield, Sussex, exhibited Roses 
which included the handsome variety Sunrise. For 
cutting purposes, bouquet and buttonhole work it is 
unequalled and the colour is so uncommon that it 
makes a striking feature wherever used. Other 
noteworthy blooms were those of Liberty, Brides¬ 
maid and W. J. Grant. 
Mr. W. Rumsey, Walham Cross,made an effective 
picture with cut blooms of his famous Roses. They 
were in fine condition on Tuesday, but began to 
suffer from the excessive heat and dust towards the 
end of the show. 
Mr. G. Mount, Canterbury, had several stands of 
very good Rose blooms with a background of Crimson 
Rambler in pots. 
C. Aubrey Watts, Esq., 30, Mark Lane, E.C., 
staged a small group of Roses. Considering the 
locality where they were grown it was a very 
meritorious exhibit.

eight bundles. 
Mr. James Udale, Littleton House, Droitwich, 
also showed a fine dish, the stems 1 ft. long and of 
immense size. 
Alex. Henderson, Esq., M.P, Buscot Park, 
Farringdon, Berks, exhibits a mixed collection of 
fruit and vegetables. The back of the table was filled 
with Little Marvel and Green Gem Peas in pots,

The Right Hon. Lord Aldenham (gardener, Mr. 
E. Beckett), staged a most remarkable exhibit of 
seventy-four varieties of vegetables, and most of 
them in that magnificent style in which he usually 
shows. To specify one dish would be invidious, as 
the whole lot were in good fresh condition and well 
staged, including his Model Broccoli, Perfection, 
Dwarf Gem, Winter Beauty, Peachblow, Improved 
Polegate Tomatos, Seakale, Vegetable Marrows, 
Cauliflowers, and Potatos.
