GREENHOUSE PLANTS.
The display Of greenhouse and dollhouse
plants from Belmont, the residence of DR..
W. A. Cheatham, By Leon Geny, was I'M
usually fine, among which we note remark
ably fine specimens of Cycas Revoluta,
Ticss Elastica, Musa Cavendishii, Alamand
Nerifolis, Philodendron Pertuasum and
Clerodendron Balfourii; in foliage plants,
fine specimens of Cissus Discolor, Csladi-
mus, fine display, embracing all the new
varieties; II varieties of Lantans, very fine
specimens. The collection of Gersniums,
containing nothing but the best varieties,
presented an unusually fine appearance.
Some of the largest treasures of bloom that
we have seen; very fine collection of Be-
goniss and Colcus, with very fine specimens
of each. Several hanging baskets added
much to the appearance of the Floral Hall.
The interest that DR.. Cheathsm has taken
in the present exhibition shows that he a.
least has lost none of his love of horticul-
ture.
The collection Of plants exhibited by Mr..
William HEAVIER, contains some fine speci-
mems of Bourvardis Verilandii BergoDia
Davidsonii, also q very fine specimen of
Saliva Splendens Alba, a fine plant Of Lag
istremia Indica Alba with several other new
and lare plants. Twenty varieties of Roses
nearly all in bloom, is one of the attractive
features of this collection several fine
Coleas and one of the best collections of
Verbenas we have seen, especially a very
fine specimen of Mrs. Dick, q fine collection
of scented geraniums including all the nov
elites of this class complete Mr.. Heavens
collection.
CUT FLOWERS
Mr.. William HEAVIER exhibits 40 varieties
Of Roses, all named, among which was a
remarkable fine specimen OF Marshall Mel.
DR.. w. A. Cheatham, by Leon Geny,
exhibits very fine collection Of Roses and
cut flowers, arranged in very tasteful
manner; also 2 pyrsmidal boquets very
beautifully arranged.
Mrs. John Overton contributed two bas-
kets of cut flowers, which, for arrangement
and design, we have seldom seen eqnaled;
also flower basket orDamented with ever
greens, itself an ornament, without flaws.
In this display the specimens were so differ
ent, and so differently arranged, and so
nearly equal in beauty and arrangement,
that the directors thought proper to COM
pliment each with a premium.
The floral department, in charge Of Mr..
David Douglas, landscape gardener, was ad-
mirably arranged aud neatly kept. The
beautiful collection could not have failed to
attract admiring attention, even in the most
tasteless confusion; but with the arrange
ment and grouping by Mr.. Douglas, the ef-
feet was striking, and indicated itself in
causing TO dwell upon its beauty the grave,
the gay, the rude and the refined.
The crystal fountains in floral hail, ex-
hibited by Mr.. David Grewar, added very
much to the appearance of the hall, and
was much admired by visitors. They are
manufactured by Mr.. Grewar, and are the
workmanship of Mr.. John Atkinson, gasfit-
ter and plumber, who has displayed con-
siderable ingenuity in their construction.
