The reds, in particular, are good. General Grant is a bed of flame and S. A. Nutt attracts much favorable comment, but about the best of all is Meteor. The plants are low and stocky and carry immense trusses of bright red bloom, just a shade darker than Grant. The rose garden has made a very good showing considering that the plants have been in the ground scarcely three months. In the conservatory there is a fine lot of hydrangeas and fuchsias, with some fine plants of Asparagus Sprengeri. In the southern show house there is a remarkable display of fancy-leaved caladiums.
