Hapdy  Herbaceous  Plants. 
^Messrs.  Kelway  and  Son,  Langport,  exhibited  Pfeonies  and 
Py  rethrums.  The  Montan  section  was  represented  hy  nice 
specimen  blooms  of  Marie  Corelli,  Blanche  Noisette,  Elizabeth, 
and  Mrs.  W.  Kelway.  The  Pyrethrnms  were  beautifully  fresh 
and  bright.  St.  Amant,  liose  O’Neill,  AVarrior,  Airs.  Bateman 
Brown,  and  Rodney  were  most  conspicuous  in  the  singles,  while 
the  best  doubles  were  Captain  Nares,  Alfred  A'ance,  and 
Prince.ss  Beatrice. 
Air.  R.  C.  Notentt,  Ipswich,  contributed  an  exhibit  of  hardy 
flowers,  arranged  in  vases.  The  chief  features  were  the 
Papavers,  Pseonies,  Pyrethrnms,  Lilac  Aladame  Lemoine  and 
Heuchera  sanguinea. 
Air.  G.  Reuthe,  Keston,  Kent,  had  a  pleasing  display  of 
hardy  plants  arranged  naturally,  including  Primula  capitata, 
Darlingtonia  californica,  Gentiana  verna,  Cypripedmms  in 
St.  Bridgid  type.  They  also  helped  to  swell  the  display  of 
hardy  flowers  by  putting  up  a  large  di.splay,  which  included 
some  fine  Aloutan  Pteonias  and  Papavers.  Alessrs.  G.  Boyes 
and  Co.,  AyIe.stone  Nurseries,  Leicester,  contributed  a  display 
of  Carnations  in  pots,  also  in  a  cut  state.  The  plants  were  well 
flowered,  and  the  individual  blooms  were  also  good. 
Alessrs.  Storrie  and  Storrie,  Dundee,  made  a  good  display  of 
alpine  Auriculas  and  Primroses  in  pots.  The  plants  had 
travelled  well,  and  the  yellow  Auriculas  were  especially  good, 
the  best  varieties  being  Venus,  Zealot,  Leda,  Victoria,  Sirius, 
and  Clansman.  The  Polyanthuses  were  named,  and  made  a 
bright  show. 
Alessrs.  Barr  and  Sons,  Covent  Garden,  made  a  very  large 
display  of  hardy  flowers,  in  which  Spanish  Irises  were  tastefully 
arranged,  and  formed  a  good  feature.  I.  Susianus  was  .superb; 
Ixias  were  to  be  seen  in  good  variety  ;  Anemones,  Lily  of  the 
Valley,  and  Gladioli  were  also  in  evidence;  while  a  special 
feature  was  made  of  alpine  and  rock  plants  arranged  naturally. 
Cypripediums  such  as  acaule,  parviflorum,  and  montanum  were 
good  throughout.  Oriental  Poppies,  Aquilegias  and  Pyrethrnms 
variety.  Orchis  in  excellent  form,  and  a  good  collection  of  rock 
plants.  Pansies  were  arranged  in  the  orthodox  style  by  Air. 
F.  Hooper,  AAudeombe  Hill,  Bath,  and  Avere  doubtless  a  good  col¬ 
lection,  though  names  were  conspicuous  by  their  absence. 
AIe.ssrs.  G.  Stark  and  Son,  Great  Ryburgh,  Norfolk,  had  a 
small  exhibit  of  A'iola  Royal  Sovereign  ;  Avhile  Air.  Jannock,  of 
Dersingham,  Norfolk,  contributed  very  excellent  Lilacs  and 
Inly  of  the  A^alley,  the  quality  quite  out  of  the  common. 
Air.  AI.  Pritchard,  Christchurch,  Hants,  put  forward  a  great 
effort,  and  in  consequence  made  a  fine  exhibit.  The  Pyrethrums 
included  Airs.  B.  Findlay,  Airs.  Bateman  BroAin,  A'ivid,  and 
Hamlet.  Large  groups  of  Eremuri  AAore  also  noted;  and  Papa¬ 
vers  were  fine.  Incarvillea  Delavayi  and  Irises  Avere  the  other 
items  :  a  truly  interesting  display. 
Tulips  Avere  staged  hy  Alessrs.  Hogg  and  Robertson,  Dublin, 
and  con.sidering  the  lateness,  they  AA’ere  undoubtedly  in  good 
form.  A  feAv  of  the  best  AA^ere  Parisian,  The  FaAvn,  I.sabella, 
Bouton  d’Or,  Ixioides,  and  Bridesmaid.  A  feAv  vases  of 
Anemones  made  a  pleasing  change. 
Alessrs.  R.  Smitli  and  Sons,  Worcester,  had  a  rather  novel 
exhibit  of  Spanish  Irises,  late  Tulips,  Gladioli,  Anemones  of  the 
Avere  also  in  strong  force,  Avhile  the  alpine  Auriculas  Averc  still 
to  be  .seen  in  this  display. 
Air.  V.  Slade,  Staplegrove  Nurseries,  Taunton,  had  a  nice 
table  of  zonal  Pelargoniums  both  of  the  single  and  double 
varieties.  The  floAvers  were  arranged  in  vases,  and  created 
much  interest.  The  Alisses  Hopkins,  Alere,  Knutsford,  had  an 
attractive  exhibit  of  hardy  floAvers,  in  AA'hich  the  pink  Dai.sy 
Alice  Avas  noteAvorthy.  Quaint  Polyanthuses,  Trolliuses,  Ac., 
Avere  Avell  arranged. 
Alessrs.  Dobbie  and  Co..  Rothesay,  N.B.,  had  an  exhibit  of 
Cactus  Dahlias,  Violas,  and  Aquilegias.  The  Dahlias  AA-ere  use¬ 
ful  to  display  the  colours  at  this  season,  Avhiie  the  Violas  were 
large  and  fresh.  The  same  may  be  said  of  the  Pansies,  while 
the  Aquilegias  and  African  Alarigolds  could  not  be  excelled. 
Alessrs.  AV.  Cutbush  and  Son,  Highgate,  staged  an  extensiA'o 
collection  of  hardy  floAvers.  The  Eremuri  AA'ere  AA*ell  developed, 
and,  liacked  Avith  bamboos,  Avere  most  effective.  A  foAv  trays  of 
Nympha^as  Avere  also  to  be  seen.  Cypripediums  in  variety,  and 
Orchi.ses  AA'ere  Avell  deAmloped.  Liliums  formed  a  leading  feature 
— Hansoni,  elegans  bicolor,  colchicum,  BroAvni,  and  L.  Henryi 
being  most  shoAAy.
