CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 

 The annual chrysanthemum show ol 

 this Society was held in Unity Hall, 



Hartford, Conn., Nov. 5-G, and was by 

 far the most successful exhibit ever 

 held under the auspices of the Society. 

 The attendance far exceeded even the 

 most sanguine expectations. The 

 classes were all well filled and competi- 

 tion was particularly keen in the cut 

 bloom division. Notable among the 

 entries was the exhibit of blooms, also 

 a group of decorative plants and 

 flowers, from the J. J. Goodwin estate, 

 J. F. Huss, superintendent. Among the 

 exhibits from the Walter L. Goodwin 

 estate was a superb specimen Begonia 

 Lorraine, grown in a pan and measur- 

 ing fully 3 ft in diameter, also three 

 perfectly grown standard chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



A fine collection of cut blooms was 

 exhibited by the Department of Parks 

 head gardener, P. Zuger. Although 

 not entered for competition, this re- 

 ceived a diploma, as did the collection 

 of anemone and single varieties. Whit- 

 ing Greenhouses also carried off many 

 prizes with cut blooms of excellent 

 quality. The fine collection of or- 

 chids exhibited by Mrs. B. B. Tuttle 

 probably received more attention from 

 the public than any other single ex- 

 hibit. 



Vine Hill Gardens easily carried off 

 the honors for the best display of vege- 

 tables with a collection of forty-five 

 varieties, the artistic arrangement of 

 which reflected much credit on the 

 gardener, Robert Cawte. The judges 

 were: Gus. X. Amyrhn. New Haven; 

 Chas. R. Russel, Roslyn, L. I., and 

 George Thompson, Lenox, Mass., and 

 their awards were as follows:
