WALKER AND 80N8, HASTINGS. This well known firm of nurserymen and florists, of Hastings, went to a great deal of trouble to bring over some of their leading specialities in out-door plants to the Napier Rose Show. Rhododendrons in flower, irises, amaryllis, several lines of shrubs in flower, and a very fine collection of roses—severs 1 hundred blooms being displayed—all of which, considering the bad weather, were in good condition. The rhododendrons and shiubs made a very fine background to this display, which were supported by palms and f’ "ns, together with cut flowers of some of their seedlings. There is a great deal to ho said of their originality in twinging to these shows flowering size plants of outdoor shrubs. Many varie-

ties cf shrubs, plants, etc., are displayed which otherwise perhaps would never become known. Among the roses special mention could be made of their new rose Climbing Golden Emblem. This variety they regard as the leading rose in the vellows for size and form, and the climbing sort, which they have raised themselves is an improvement on all of these; thus we now baijo a very great advancement in climbing roses.
