. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 458 The American Florist. At)ril I laid out with curving paths and un- dulating flower borders, the flowers in seemingly endless variety in the Dutch style were simply grand in their ef- fect, gravel walks helping to carry out the reality of the scheme. Among the flowers employed were splendid ex- amples of cyclamens, tulips, many varieties of narcissi, hyacinths, Be- gonia Gloire de Lorraine, etc. Following the gravel path from the Dutch garden a green and gold mass is reached, the exhibit of Thos. Roland. Nahant, Mass., and which consists of large specimen acacias, some 25 varie- ties, all literally loaded with their yel- low blossoms, and just enough of the light feathery foliage showing to make the green and gold effect perfect, this was surely one grand display. On one side of this yellow mass the Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., erected a colossal mound of orchids, surmounted by a towering tree fern, the varieties of orchids in flower were very numerous and many very choice things were among them. Further we came to a charming group of plants from A. N. Pierson, Cromwell. Conn., azaleas, adiantum Farleyense, rhododendrons, hydran- geas, spiraeas, ferns in many kinds, young stock begonia and budded roses and a few vases of their two new roses Dark Killarney and Prince de Bulgarie, both of which look very promising, the latter is a pleas- ing pink and seems to have stem and foliage desirable for all purposes. A collection of dwarfed Japanese plants by the Yokohama Nursery Co., New York, was a most attractive feature. Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., made elaborate exhibits of varied com- modities, their large collections of clipped box, baytrees, and decorative plants were special features as was also their showing of evergreens', this collection embraced 100 varieties, and they were all grown in their own nur- sery, no imported plants being among them.
