A large number of varieties of crotons is the leading feature, but the exhibit in- cludes ferns in variety, roses, hydran- geas, pandanus, dracsenas, palms, be- gonias, Ficus pandurata, ivies and many other plants. F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., has two tables of ferns, showing Har- • risii, elegantissima, compacta, magni- fica and muscosa in various sizes. As a part of the exhibit are some splen- did vases of Buxton's Pink snapdra- gon, from George E. Buxton, Nashua, N. H., and Carnation Princess Dagmar, from M. A. Patten & Co., Tewkesbury, Mass. This carnation is of deep crim- son, of largest size, on wonderfully stiff stems considering their length, and lights up beautifully. Another feature of the display is Begonia Gloire de Chatelaine, a continuous bloomer and good bedder, not new but not so well known as it should be. Roman J. Irwin, New York, has a well arranged bank of plants surround- ing several plates of gladiolus bulbs. Most of the stock is in sizes for the trade to grow on and includes Adiantum Farleyense, genistas, begonias, cannas, asparagus, ferns in variety, cyclamens, gardenias, English ivy, lemon verbenas, Calla Elliottiana, 2i/G-inch roses, car- nation cuttings, mum cuttings, and field grown roses. H. F, Michell Co., Philadelphia, has as the chief feature of its exhibit Geranium Helen Michell, a large num- ber of plants carrying fine tresses of flowers. Michell's royal purple salvia is another novelty. New hybrid free- sias in colors are shown, also Gerbera •Tamesoni hybrida, Phlox Laphami, Perry variety; and Lilium plentiflorum, a type of giganteum. Joseph Heacock Co., Wyncote, Pa., has a group of kentias, both Forsteriana and Belmoreana, in all sizes and made "P plants; also Cibotium Schi
