Feb. 6. peared on the show table, and no doubt have missed quite a nunihei- that may be future standard sorts, altlunish it is dif- ficult to judge the merits of any variety unless it is seen growing. One of the most attractive looking new comers was a beautiful bright dark pink shown by Nic Zweifel of Milwaukee, Wis., and Doriier's two new reds had the appearance of striking a now high mark for red varieties. Shasta by Haur & Smith was commoutod on very favorably by the growers in general, also a promis- ing good looking white. No. 404, from Dailledouze Bros. These two whites seemed to be talked of as prospective good ones. Dorothy Gordon by Joseph Heacock at first sight would be taken for well grown Rose I'ink Enchantress. Bertermann Bros. Co. had the field to themselves in the yellow class. Their new seedling, named James Whitcomb Riley, is a recent departure for this class. I was so impressed with this grand sort that I took the car to Cumberland to see it growing, and was much pleased with its growth, good stem and free blooming qualities. It was the most distinct carnation shown. In the maroon class, F. R. Pierson's No. CO looked quite promising. Admiration is a pleasing pink which Chas. Knopf considers his best production. President Taft was too weak to stand up and was a disappointment. The most popular varieties exhibited were White Enchantress. Light Pink En- chantress and Rose Pink Enchautress, in the white and pink varieties. In the red classes Beacon and Victory were most prominent and O. P. Bassett, as usual, showed up in good form. The new variegated variety. Bay State, on the Pattea order, won the gold medal. Mrs. J. 0. Vaughan was shown by W. N. Rudd in good form. The vases of White Killarney rose shown by F. R. Pierson Co. and the Waban Rose Conservatories were truly magnificent. We shall all want to grow this peerless variety next year. I
