 the exhibit by F. E. Pierson and will 

 follow next week with those of other ex- 

 hibitors. 



"Tarrytown" was raised by Luther 

 Burbank and introduced by Mr. Pierson 

 three years ago. It is a brilliant car- 

 mine crimson, very early and a contin-

 variety giving us the same quantity of 

 flowers. A large bed of it here now is
