THE CHICAGO EXHIBITION. 



The annual exhibition of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago was opened 

 to the public last Tuesday morning, 

 and, placed in the great Auditorium 

 Theater, it was a magnificent sight. 

 The space, however, proved to be 

 smaller than expected, and the cut 

 blooms had to be placed in the foyer, 

 and other displays in the promenade 

 space on the floor above. The view of 

 the main display from the balcony 

 was superb, however, though it would 

 have been still more satisfactory had 

 not a very tall, solid group of palms 

 been placed in the center, obstructing 

 the view. 



Owing to the generally unfavorable 

 season for chrysanthemums, the aver- 

 age of quality in both plants and flow- 

 ers was not up to that of last year and 

 there was some decrease in quantity, 

 too. Still, some magnificent blooms 

 were shown, a few varieties being seen 

 in better form this year than last. 

 This was notably so with the varieties 

 Mrs. Perrin, Mrs. W. C. Egan. Mrs. M. 

 A. Ryerson and Mrs. J. J. Glessner. 

 The improvement in the color of Mrs. 

 Perrin was especially noticeable and 

 all the varieties noted had improved 

 decidedly in color, form and general 

 finish.
