ELMIRA, N. Y. 



The annual i luy^anthonuiiii show 

 opened with the fiist snowstorm of the 

 season, and from a lloricultural point of 

 view was a great success. 



The local florists had tastefully dec- 

 orated the hall with wild smilax, palms, 

 junipers and chrysantheimim plants. The 

 tables were well ai ranged, and the cen- 

 ter of the hall occupied by a beautiful 

 large vase arranged by Mr. Rawson. 



The front of the platform was occu- 

 pied by the long row of candidates for 

 the Board of Trade silver cup for best 

 new variety not disseminated. There 

 were eleven entries for the cup, which 

 was won by Timothy Eaton, from Miller 

 & Sons, Bracondale. Canada. This is cer- 

 tainly a grand thing in whites. Otlier 

 very fine ones were the Mrs. Elmer D. 

 Smith, from X. Smith & Son. Adrian, 

 Mich., a beautiful delicate pink: Yan- 

 ariva, from John N. May: a fine yellow 

 from Mr. Moon, of Carbondale, Pa.: 

 some yellow seedlings, from .T. Rudy, gar- 

 dener for J. .S. Fassett, and some proin- 



Egan, ^Irs. F. A. Constable, Orizaba, 

 Mrs. M. A. Ryerson. Lady Hanhaiii, 

 Chito, Mrs, T, L. Park, Lady Anglesy 

 and Rustique,

 Glory, Silver Wedding, Robt. Caiey and

 Bruant, Merza, Idavan, Mrs. T, L, Park,

As a whole the exhibits were of a 

 \ery high order. 



'Iheie were also exhibited, not for 

 comietition. bunches of the new pink 

 American Beauty rose. Queen of Edgely, 

 sent -by the Floral Exchange, of Phila- 

 delphia, ^'his seems to be some lighter in 

 color than the old favorite and full of 

 fiagrance. Gov. Roosevelt carnation, 

 sent by Ward, is a splendid thing in 

 form, color, stem and keeping qualities. 

 Prosperity was shown by Dailledouze 

 Bros., and more than fulfilled expecta- 

 tions of those who had heard of it. Wit- 

 terstaetter sent his Enquirer, which is 

 very pleasing in color and form. F. R. 

 Pierson Company sent a fine lot of their 

 pet chrysanthemum. Col. Appleton, 

 which is certainly the best yellow grown. 

 Those of this variety grown here by Mr. 

 Fassett's gardener, John Rudy, were a 

 wonder. John N. May sent some good 

 .\])ldetons and his new pink Yanariva 

 w;is very graceful and attracted much 

 attention. 



Nathan Smith & Son's collection came 

 the long distance in fine shape, and em- 

 braced many rare and beautiful varieties. 



Other local growers. Mrs. H. D. Wells, 

 E. Orvis, Fred L. La France, and Eugene 

 Lewis, made good decorative displays. 



Rawson had a fine lot of madeup pots 

 of chrysanthemum plants, and Hoffman 

 had well-grown cyclamens in si.\ and 

 eight-inch pots. 



We did not like to let the cup go to 

 Canada but the boys say they will win 

 it back next year, 



William Scott delighted every one 

 with his excellent judgment and his 

 genial presence. H, N. H. 



PROVIDENCE. R. I. 



The Rhode Island Horticultural Socie- 

 ty held its annual chrysanthemum exhi- 

 bition Nov. 14, 15 and IG. The display 

 excelled that of many years and exhib- 

 its were present from Philadelphia, Cin- 

 cinnati, Wellesley and Brockton, Mass., 

 aside from growers within our own 

 state. 



Farquhar Macrae, of course, led the 

 show with his large exhibit of eighteen 

 vases of ten blooms each of chrysanthe- 

 mums and in this line took all the pre- 

 miums. 



.John Barr, gardener for Mrs. Cheney, 

 Wellesley, Mass., was present with a fine 

 lot of blooms and took first premium in 

 the thirty bloom class, and several oth- 

 ers in the lesser classes. 



F. Macrae also exhibited the Col. Ap- 

 pleton, a fine chrysanthemum, with 

 bloom eight to nine inches in diameter. 

 The Solar Queen, by the same exhibitor.
