if such a rule as the one just mentioned 

 should only be used in case a person 

 wished to stage a collection of plants or 

 something which would take up a lot of 

 room, and not on the other hand turn a 

 man down who has a bunch of violets or 

 a few vases of carnations to exhibit. It 

 does more harm to have such a rule than 

 it does good, especially when there isn't 

 any one man who has the power to make 

 an exception to the rule or in other 

 words has the privilege of using his own 

 judgment in the case. H. 8. W. 



FORT SMITH, ARK. 



The Fort Smith chrysanthemum show- 

 was a most pronounced success, for 

 which many thanks are due to the trade 

 exhibitors from a distance. California 

 was represented by C. E. Needham, who 

 sent the California pepper tree, the red 

 berries and fern-like foliage of which 

 are very enduring. Wild smilax was 

 supplied by Caldwell the Woodsman. 

 Over 1,500 chyrsanthemum blooms were 

 represented, by growers many of whom 

 have a national reputation. Most of the 

 stock arrived in fine shape and the 

 judges had a difficult, task. 



For twenty-five blooms, not less than 

 five of a kind, N. Smith &- Son, Adrian. 

 Mich., were first. Honorable mention 

 was made of the exhibits of H. W. Buck- 

 bee, Roekford, 111.; E. G., Hill Co.,, Rich- 

 mond, Ind.; J. H. Morton, ' Clarksville, 

 Tenn., and Vaughan 's .Greenhouses.

 iety, with Mrs. H- Robinson, II. W.

 on yellow, with t Appleton, honorable 

 mention being made of the exhibits of 

 H. W. Bnckbee, J. H-' Morton and the 

 Memphis Floral Co., 



The best, novelties were those of H. W. 

 Buckbee but honorable mention was 

 given J. H. Morton, who also had the 

 best single-stemmed plants. Samuel Mur- 

 ray, Kansas City, showed the best bush 

 plants, J. H. Morton second. For best 

 pink the first premium went to E. G. 

 Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. 



On roses, the premium for Beauties 



was divided between J. H. Morton and 

 the Idlewild Greenhouses of Memphis, 

 the latter being first on Kaiserin. 



The first prize for a novelty in carna- 

 tions was given to J. H. Morton and first 

 in the general class to the Thompson 

 Carnation Co., Joliet, 111.

 Vestal & Son, Little Rock ; Wm. Weaver,

CANANDAIGUA, N. Y. 



The first annual exhibition of the 

 Canandaigua Florists' and Gardeners' 

 Society was held November 5 and 6. As 

 a show of blooms I might say it was a 

 decided success, and a better arrange- 

 ment of the plants and cut blooms is 

 seldom seen, which was largely due to 

 the directions of Robert E. Ballantvne. 

 gardener to Mrs. F. F. Thompson. Mr. 

 Ballantvne staged a group of foliage 

 plants and pot chrysanthemums covering 

 a space of at least 250 feet that I have 

 never seen equaled. The officiating 

 judge was Mr. Ballantyne, Sr., of New 

 York eitv, and his decisions met with the 

 approval' of all. 



ill s. Ogilvie was the only exhibitor in the 



Group of Foliage Plants at the Philadelphia Show.
