Greeiiliouses and at .1. Cheal it Sona, Crawlpy, .Sussl-x. put in. In this class of plants we spe- cially noticed Gypsophila prostrata, a ?harming dwarf variety, in very full hife bloom. Trifolium repens penta- 'Ilum is a charming dwarf rock plant, i^ithospermvim prostratum, a lovely blue, is a fine, continuous flowering, trailing plant. Veronica repens is a pretty pale ?e trailer. Among the climbing roses wc noted pecially Ard's Rover, H. P. and Ard's illar, H. T.; both are ideal pillar roses lat produce flowers fit for exhibition. V variety of tamarisk, hispida stivalis. was also very special and is ?,rown in large quantities. The fruit ree section is very complete, the firm laving a wide reputation for this branch if its business. All kinds are grown y the thousand and they are here in all ihapes and ages, from maidens to fine trained trees. The firm does a large ex- port trade and especial attention is given to this. From end to end the place is a marvel of neatness, cleanliness and thor- ough cultivation, quite the best we have seen this season in tliese respects. S. Preven
