The London Holland House Show. This show is now one of the fash- ionable events of the Royal Horticul- tural Society during the summer, and, favored with fine weather, is sure to attract large numbers of exhibitors and visitors. This year's show took place July 13 in beautifully warm -weather, and a record trade was done by the various exhibitors, of whom there were about 110 altogether in the floral uepartment, while there were many others in the sundries section showing all sorts of horticultural and other appliances. The chief feature of the show was undoubtedly the hardy herbaceous perennials, alpine plants, rock and water gardens. Indeed, if these were eliminated the show^ would have been poor, although it would liave been impossible to see finer col- lections of orchids, stove and green- "house plants, fruit trees in pots, sweet peas, carnations, roses and ornamen- tal trees and shrubs. Vegetables were Tiot overdone by any means, but were worthily represented by a choice col- lection from the gardens of Vicary Gibbs of Aldenham House, Elstree. Owing to the fact that a silver-gilt challenge cup worth sixty guineas was offered for the best exhibit in the show, keen interest was mani- fested as to who would win it. Popu- lar opinion coincided with that of the .iudges when this prize fell to Messrs. Sander & Sons of St. Albans. They staged a Inagnificent group of or- chids, each end of which was rounded up with bold masses of Cattleya gigas, while the centre was a flowing white cascade of Phalsenopsis Riemstedti- ana flowing over a wall of the beauti- ful rosy Miltonia vexillaria Empress Augusta. There were many other fine plants in this champion group which helped it to secure the predominant prize in addition to a gold medal. Charlesworth & Co., Ha
