The Missouri Botanical Garden has a very fine collection, some 250 varieties, of dahlias that are all in full bloom and all colors and shapes are to be seen. They have been under the direct care of Mr. Barnes and W. Nebeling. The garden will have a verycompletecoUection of gladioli next year. From sixty-five to seventy spe- cies will be represented by some 1,500 to 2,000 varieties and hybrids. These will be under the care of Frank K. Balthis, who will also at the same time gather as complete a collection of fuchsias as possi- ble. The eight new houses are all filled and as fine a range of low greenhouses cannot be found in this section of the country. The orchid houses, under the care of Geo. McClure, are very fine. He has also the fern, cycad and bromelia houses under his supervision. There are Cycas revoluta vidth from sixty to 100 leaves and stems several feet in length. The cacti are under the care of Fred. Luke, and the chrysanthemums under the care of Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Bonas. Mr. Gurney is in his usual good health and always glad to see his friends. The mark
