MADISON, N. J. 



The fifth aunual exhibition of the 

 Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Society was held in tlie Assembly Rooms, 

 IMadison. on November 7 and 8. The cut 

 chrysanthemums, always a strong fea- 

 ture, this year surpassed all previous 

 displays, and the fine special prizes of- 

 fered brought some outside competition. 

 For 6 varieties, 6 blooms of each, W. 

 Duckham, gardener to D. Willis James, 

 was first with a grand exhibit, compris- 

 ing Nellie Pockett, a new cream white 

 retlexed Jap on the style of, but far sur- 

 passing. Mayflower, Mons. Chenon de 

 Leche. Mrs. H. Weeks, Jennie Falconer 

 and Mr. T. Carrington, an enormous 

 flower, magenta rose with silvery reverse.

 his exhibit being a fine vase of Col. Ap- 

 pleton.

 the winner for a group of foliage plants 

 alone, and A. Coren for 12 ferns. Lager 

 & Hurrell, Summit, took the special 

 prize for orchids with a charming and 

 varied exhibit. 



The rose growers this year did not 

 make their usual showing, in fact it was 

 hard to believe we were in the Rose City. 

 They all had the same excuse, weather, 

 but there may be others. L. A. Noe and 

 H. Hcntz. Jr., were winners in the order 

 named for IS American Beauty, whilst 

 for 12 Beauty H. Hentz was first and 

 the only exhibitor. F. Burnett was first 

 for 18 Bridesmaids and H. Hentz for the 

 same number of Brides. For G Brides 

 and Bridesmaids, F. Burnett and D. Fal- 

 coner were first and second. E. Brant 

 was the only exhibitor of Libert^' and 

 took the special prize.
