Marquis Vivens, and Madame Cuisin, by the same growers, found admirers for their pretty mixtures of rose and white, but we suppose will not reach the popularity achieved by some of their sisters. The La France of Mr. Evans was particularly large and fine, and retains its great popularity as well for its delightful odor as for its delicate pink color and good form. The beautiful globular yellow Perle des Jardins and the more bronzy yellow Sunsets were among those which are as yet unmatchable in their styles.

There was exhibited by Mr. Banyard a new carnation called Quaker City - white and apparently floriferous; and from Mr. Stewart of Wilmington, Delaware, came a dwarf Sweet Alyssum, much more double than the common one. We have not undertaken to give an account of all the exhibitors or their meritorious productions, but simply sketched, for the benefit of our distant readers, such superior points in the articles exhibited as may give them some idea of their character. Our space does not permit more. In the smaller collections Mr. W. K. Harris, in addition to names already given, was a successful competitor.

Arrangements are being made for the coming fall to eclipse all former Chrysanthemum exhibitions. Six hundred dollars have already been subscribed for a premium in one class, in which the first premium will be $300. Some of our lady amateurs are taking a live interest, and will offer valuable vases as premium articles. Mrs. Geo. W. Childs, Mrs. Charles Wheeler and Mrs. Hennessey have signified their desire to offer these inducements to lively competition.

The autumn meeting the last week in September furnished another excellent exhibition and a marked improvement in the growth of the plants over the culture of a few years ago. In this respect there was the greatest novelty, for there was little that was really new among the plants and flowers themselves.

One of the best improved features is the attention given to labelling, so that the exhibition can be made instructive to the visitors. Several collections had the names neatly written on cards, placed on the tops of slender flower stakes, and high above, that they could be seen without effort on the part of the observer. Many of the exhibits had no exhibitors' names attached - nothing but the exhibition numbers. The names of the exhibitors, we think, give increased interest to these affairs. No. 79 had a very pretty plant of the old Strelitzia regina in flower. Its yellow and blue bird's-head like flowers always please, and it is surprising the plant is not more often seen.

A remarkably fine collection of Lycopodiums, by Eisele Brothers, indicated that pan culture is best for these plants. The plants were about two feet across.

Chas. D. Ball, one of the commendably labelled collections, had a collection of ferns, which were especially worthy of note by their genuine " ferny" tint of color. They were not overgrown, but healthy plants, mostly about two feet high and wide.

The Theif Palm, Phcenecophorium sechellanum, seems growing in favor, as it was in many collections. One of the best was exhibited by No. 59. It had a blade of about 3 feet by 2. In spite of its ferocious-looking spines, it is a very handsome fern. No. 59 had also a very commendable collection of leaf plants in pots and small tubs, among which a Pandanus Veitchii, with its green and white striped leaves, was very much admired.

No. 45 had a beautiful specimen of the Chu-san Palm, Chamaerops Fortunii. This palm is nearly hardy. The specimen exhibited was very tufty, and one might suppose it was an unique shrub of some kind, instead of being a member of the palm family. Messrs. M. F. Small & Co. had their collection adorned by many crotons, which yet appear to be among the most desirable of leaf plants.

Mr. John M. Hughes, gardener to Mr. Geo. W. Childs, astonished many by the richness of his exhibit. He had a particularly rich specimen of the large Fan Palm, Latania Borbonica. It was about 10 feet high by 15 feet wide, and yet only in a three-feet tub.

The same exhibitor had the best grown Cala-diums we ever saw. The leaves were wholly self-supporting, about fifty to a plant, the mass forming a plant two or three feet over. They were in rather large (15-inch) pots.

He had also a very meritorious collection of tuberous Begonias in 10-inch pots, forming specimens about 1 foot over.

Dracaenas, as usually seen, are rarely well grown. But David Emery, gardener to Mrs. Charles Dissel, had a nice lot. They were in 12 or 14-inch pots, were about 3 feet high, and with nice healthy foliage from bottom to top.

Palms are so often exhibited in a huge, overgrown condition, that it was pleasant to note a very varied collection in 6 or 10-inch pots from Messrs. T. Small & Co. They were also admirably labeled.

Mr. William Joyce, gardener to Mrs. Matthew Baldwin, had one of the most interesting collections in the room. Among the rarer palms the reporter noticed as a very pretty one Licuala grandis. It is a broad-leaved fan palm, dwarf, and with very slender stipes. A very good specimen of the pretty Pitcher plant, Nepenthes Hook-eriana, an admirable specimen of the gorgeous velvety-leaved Sphaerogne latifolia, the leaves 2 feet by 15 inches wide, and the rare Anthurium crystalinum. This is an aroid with large, dark velvet green leaves, and prominent light green veins.

Mrs. Anne Bissett made her usual collection of ferns, always welcome as showing how much variety may be had in a small space when good culture in small pots is the plan adopted.

The absence of flowering plants, so often noted of late years in exhibitions where only ferns and foliage plants appear, was well broken on this occasion by the flowering Begonias. Besides those above noted, Mr. H. A. Dreer had a very nice collection. They were in 6 inch pots, about 6 to 12 inches over, blooming profusely and of all shades of color, between yellow and crimson. The Gloxinias also added floral attractions.

Mr. Jamieson, gardener to Mrs. Mason, who has often done good work for the Germantown Horticultural Society, made his first appearance here with a very nice collection of marantas and crotons, and Mr. Alburgur had some nice palms.

Among the cut flowers were some very nice things. Mr. Sturtevant, of Bordentown, added largely to the attractions of the room by water tanks containing leaves of the great Victoria water lily and a large number of Nelumbiums and water lilies. The beautiful red-flowered Nym-phaea Devoniana flowers were nearly a foot in diameter.

The Florists' Club had a fac-simile of one of the floral adornments with which the rooms of Mrs. Cleveland were generously decorated during the President's visit to the Constitutional Centennial. Outside of the emblematic lessons to be taught by floral designs, the workmanship was wonderful. No one could tell at a little distance that the United States flag was not actual bunting instead of flowers. The blue corner of the flag was made of violets, tuberoses represented the stars, red and white carnations did duty for the stripes, and Perle roses made the yellow pine flag-staff. We believe the work was done by Pennock Brothers.

There was a remarkably fine collection of cut orchids, in glasses, but no name or number to identify the exhibitor. Near them Mr. E. D. Sturtevant had a collection in which were the pretty rosy purple Rodriguezia secunda, several varieties of Cattleya allied to C. Mossiae, and the curious Catasetum occidentale, which seems to endeavor to make up by a weird sort of beauty the unpardonable sin in an orchid of lack of fragrance.

There were cut roses of course - no exhibition now is an exhibition without roses. No. 27 had some magnificent American Beauties, and if it is to be regarded as identical with Madame Ferdinand, she ought to be ashamed of herself for neglecting in her younger years to make the favorable impression she certainly makes to-day.

Craig Brothers had some of the rarer ones such as Comptesse de Frigneuse, Bride, and Mad. Cusin, which we have before noted, with the grand old Niphetos among them as good as any. Evans and Battles had Meteor also noted last year. At a little distance one is reminded of the old Louis Philip in color and size. It is said to be a very promising florists' rose.

Mr. Schaffer has a large lot of Belladonna lilies in flower in pots. We suppose they are foreign grown bulbs. We have never known home grown bulbs to flower so beautifully.

Cut border flowers made a better display than usual. Dahlias from Dreer had among them some few good ones not well known. There were Hercules, a crimson and brown; Fanny Purchase, small yellow; Ovid, a plum color; John McKeyne, orange, crimson top, and Vicomte Kermoisin, deep salmon shaded purple. The old Nasturtiums, Cockscombs, French and African Marigolds, Asters, Gaillardias, and Drummond Phloxes were also from the same exhibitor in a wonderfully improved state.

Cacti, we suppose from Mr. Blanc, made a unique appearance. The rat tail or Cereus flag-elliformis grafted on some of the cylindrical species was a good idea.

Fruits were almost absent. Mr. Gebhard Hus-ter, gardener to Miss Hester, had some nice hothouse grapes. A White Nice weighed 7 pounds.

No. 90 had some remarkably fine bunches of Gros Colman and Bowood Muscat. No weights were attached but the former appeared to be about 15 inches long and 9 inches wide - the berries about 1 1/4 inches in diameter; and the latter about 18 inches by 12, and the berries about 1 inch long.

Gebhard Huster had a nice collection of vegetables in which were nice plants of the recently improved chicory, an excellent salad. A good idea was having his cut vegetables set in shallow trays of water which prevented them withering.
