 X. Smith & Sim ;nv upholding their rep 



utation as ' of the strongest coinpoti 



tors in the business. AJvin Sehreiber, I 

 of Bertermann 's, is showing some fine 

 stock. 



Tin hid display is attracting crowds 



ami it is well placed in thi d titer of the 

 hall, so that people can walk all around 

 it. The 'mum plants are hardly up to 



standard we are used to a1 ■ 



shows, but i hey are ao1 bad. Vaughan 's 

 Golden I hain attracts the crowds con 

 tinually, while his other plants arc also 

 fine. The display of plants is also less 

 extensive than usual. The groups of 

 single stems are sadly lacking in num- 

 ber, quality high, however. J. Eartje 

 has some single-Stemmed plants that are 

 superb, good foliage and large liiooms. 

 E. Ilmkreide is also showing fine stock 

 in these classes. 



II. W. Rieman is showing some fine 

 •aines and cyclamens. There is a 

 exhil.it from W. A. Manda, South 

 Orange, N. J., of their golden privet and 

 a nice pink 'mum. 



Tomlinson hall has been remodeled 

 during the past summer and with the 

 fine decorations it. shows up prettier 

 than ever. Ed Bertermann deserves 

 much credit for the arrangement of the 

 decorations and the displays. 



The Smith & Young Co. is showing a 

 fine lot of violets and there is also a 

 fine lot from Swan Peterson, of Gibson 

 City, 111. 



The weather is fine and the low rail- 

 road rates has brought many visitors to 

 the city and this show will certainly be 

 a financial success. 



Among the visitors are, besiiles the 

 judges, E. G. Hill, of Richmond; Mrs.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



The fifth annual exhibition of the Tar- 

 rytowu Horticultural Society was held in 

 the Music Hall, Tarrytown, N. Y., JS'ov- 

 ember 4 to 6 and was quite up to the 

 high standard of former years. The com- 

 petition in both plants and cut blooms 

 was keen and in many of the classes very 

 close. The only falling off was in bush 

 chrysanthemum plants and in a number 

 of groups of chrysanthemum plants. No 

 doubt the C. S. A. show to be held in 

 New York the next week made some of
