natl Day; and, in addition, we call on the

THE FLOWERS YESTERDAY.
The floral display to-day lacked variety,
but was an extremely handsome show of
giadioH by Mr. jackson, who exhibited
some two hundred pots. The flowers were
the rich, snowy spikes, some twelve to
cisn teen inches in length, placed some four
Or six stems in pots of wet sand. This pre-.
served the freshness of the flowers, and
made the long central table of the Horti-
aultural gallery blaze of beauty. 1t is a
pity that the gladiolus has no fragrance
and that In the multiplication by seed it re-
fuses to show that tendency to diverge from
the parent type that some flowers do, The
garment of its colors is a rather restricted
One. ranging from pale pink to fiery re
Andcrimson pink through most of the shades
Of red, but exhibiting no very deep strains
OF either red or crimson. Occasionally it
dips into buff and salmon, but never to
maroon, blue or decided yellow. In lawn
or garden, however, there is nothing more
effective than these spikes of dazzling
flowers, and some of the specimens exhib-
tied by Mr.. Jackson were magnificent. In
vases on the table were also shown some
flowers Of the Tritoma Uvaria, sometimes
called Red Hot Poker, an effective autumn
towering plant, with coarser, etc., mass
pf scarlet forets gathered on spadix.
Also few flowers of the new clemalis afro
pnrpuria grandifora.
Mr.. Critchell exhibited fine design in
doral work. This was picture and frame
OF flowers. The frame, some six by four
feet, consisted of an outer border of smiax.
Inside this appeared row of beautiful pink
roses set in line, and next this row of
tuberoses and safrano roses, followed by
band or line of pink gladiolus forets. The
face of the picture was formed of white Gu
pet0rium, in the center of which appeared
the suns disc in white balsams, and from
this radiated lines of yellow golden rod rep
resenting the suns rays. Over appeared
the monogram G. |. e. in purple heliotrope,
pink roses and white tuberoses. This eff
fective piece was, we believe, voluntary
contribution by Mr.. Critchell, and not
down on the programme ..,
Among the blooming roses in pots we
note few that are new, but many old and
esteemed favortes. Oh the new ones we
think that Adrienne Clinstophe is of great
value. This is q sort OF salmon pink, large
and full holding we'll when in bloom,
which is valuable quality in rose. The
newish dark crimson tea Duchess of Edin-
burgh) was exhibited and much commented
on. Its color is that of the type of Gen.
Jagneminot, with the tea fragrance and a
constant bloomer like the tea and Bengal
roses. Our old friend La Mamairose was
there, full and delicate and tender in its
beautiful blush color. So, ALSO the Ouch
ess de Brabant, with its exquisite rich pink
and delicious pineapple scent. La France
proves all that was claimed for it in beauty

ity to hold its beautiful petals after
its blooming Madame Margottin

yellow or straw with full fine bud. Marie
Ducher, of a pale pink buff full and fine.
Nothing can, however, equal the pale sal
mon tender beauty of the Safrano- in bud

which we presume is intended for Madame
Brevay, pale lovely rose that can not be
too much cultivated. Madame Maurin is
another fine rose, not new but not familiar
to US heretofore. This is full pure. while
fine in bud and bloom, and holds we'll; but
one of the LOWEST roses we
saw in the Messrs. Waltz col
lection was Cornelia Cook, luscious
white rose. with a faint tint of straw in the
center large full and beal1tiful The roval
Merechale Mel was there, too, the king of
roses, with its rich, sulphur yellow buds
and blossoms, that nothing yet cultivated
can excel. We have not by any means
exhausted the list. but can scarcely be ex.
pected to make here catalogue of all. 1t
Is q pity that the Horticultural Hall was
not twice or thrice as large. as it is, for
many who would gladly have contributed
to the display, both OF plants and blooming
specimens, have been unable to secure space
