THE TORONTO CARNATION 

 SHOW. 



The fourth annual carnation exhibit 

 was held in the Horticultural Pavilion 

 on Thursday, March 13. The number of 

 exhibits was not as large as last season, 

 but the quality more than made up the 

 diflfei-ence. It was very noticeable the 

 splendid condition in which tne Honers 

 from the I'nited States arrived com- 

 pared with last year. 



The only prize oft'ered was a silver 

 cup by the Toronto Horticultural Soci- 

 ety, and it was won by the E. G. Hill Co. 

 with Adonis. In close competition with 

 the above were Marquis, Empire State, 

 and the Chicago Carnation Company's 

 Fotter Palmer. 



Among the otlier meritorious exhibits 

 were: Cressbrook, from C. Warbiirton; 

 Enquirer, from R. Witterstaetter ; Dor- 

 iier & Son's four new varieties; Bassett & 

 Washburn's seven varieties; Chicago 

 Carnation Company showed several new 

 seedlings not yet disseminated; J. Gam- 

 mage & Sons, London, showed some 

 good Marquis and Glacier, also some 

 "seedling pelargoniums of promise; the 

 Dale Estate showed a vase of very tine 

 Roosevelt and Lorna ; W. Femlly, of 

 Bramptim, made an excellent exhibit of 

 Viidet Princess of Wales, it being very 

 line; he also showed a vase of Scotts 

 that would nuike some of the newer, 

 high-toned varieties stand in the shade; 

 Dunlop made the largest exhibit, show- 

 ing sixteen varieties; also some good 

 azaleas; R. Jennings, Brampton, made a 

 good exhibit of tlie older varieties, show- 

 ing the possibilities of these varieties 

 when in the hands of a good grower; W. 

 J. Lawrence made a good exhibit of car- 

 nations, roses and lilies; W. Jay & Sou's 

 table of plants and cut flowers showed 

 some well-grown stock; Manton Bros, 

 were the only exhibitors of orchids, show- 

 ing some well-grown specnuens; Exhibi- 

 tion Park made a fine exhibit of a lot of 

 well-grown plants, consisting of azaleas, 

 genistas, begonias, palms, ferns and 

 bulbs. 



The attendance was rather disappoint- 

 ■ing in the afternoon, Imt in the even- 

 ing large crowds viewed the show. 



Anu)ngst older varieties. Glacier was 

 much in evidence and the way Canadian 

 boys grow it it takes a good one to beat 

 it. Marquis and Lawson are holding 

 their own, and from all accounts will be 

 planted in large quantities for next sea- 

 son. 



Messrs. Dicks, of London, and George 

 Manton, of Eglington, were the judges. 



A meeting of the executive committee 

 of the C. H. A. was held in the even- 

 ing to set the date for the Hext meeting 

 in Hamilton next August, and to trans- 

 act other business. LoxD. 



POMOXA, N. C— The J. Van Limlley 

 Nursery Co. are at work on the construc- 

 tion of two more greenhouses, one 16x85 

 and the other 33x200, for carnations and 

 other cut dowers. They find this step 

 necessary owing to the great demand for 

 flowers, trade having increased over ]."iO 

 per cent during the past year.
