follows, thirty dollars being contributed 

 in cash prizes equally by H. H. Neg- 

 ley, G. M. Laughlin and an unknown 

 donor. The chairman appointed as 

 judging committee, Messrs. Laughans, 

 Lilly and Featherstone, who awarded 

 first prize for twelve chrysanthemums, 

 12 varieties, to H. S. Price, gardener 

 for 0. M. T.aughlin; second, to N. C. 

 Madsen, gardener for R. H. Boggs; 

 third to T. P. Jenkinson, gardener for 

 A. R. Peacock. Six chrysanthemums, 

 one variety;, H. S. Price first for Bright- 

 hurst; David Fraser, gardener for H. 

 C. Frick, second. Specimen chrysan- 

 themum, FT. S. Price, first for Garza. 



Phipps Conservatories had a large 

 display of chrysanthemums, almost 

 every one a specimen. Mr. Jones, the 

 foreman, left the chair, and taking up 

 the varieties in order, discussed them. 



He thiuks very well of Mrs. J. C. Neill, 

 a light yellow, and Lady Hopetoun, 

 heliotrope pink. At the conservatories 

 Miss Clay Frick proves one of the best, 

 though it does not do so well every- 

 where. Other notable varieties he con- 

 sidered to be Mrs. Wm. Duekham. 

 F. S. Vallis, Leila Filkins, Miriam 

 Hankey, Merza, Beatrice May, Mary 

 Ann Pockett and Mrs. J. E. Dunne. 

 At the conclusion of Mr. Jones' 

 remarks Wm. Falconer asked for 

 the chair, when Mr. Negley called 

 the attention of the club to the fact 

 that for several years Mr. Jones had 

 attended almost every meeting, an ac- 

 tive and interested participant, and 

 shown quantities of high-class flowers 

 from Sehenley Park and Phipps Con- 

 servatories; that the same being city 

 institutions he was debarred from com- 



petition in any class, and Mr. Negley 

 s-uggested that the club should recog- 

 nize his unselfish and valued services 

 by a gratuity. As this seemed to meet 

 with the unqualified approbation the 

 chair appointed Messrs. Negley and 

 Laughans as a committeelo decide the 

 form the gratuity should take- 

 Air. Jones is recognized as one of 

 the best plantsmen in the United 

 States, and the Phipps Conservatories, 

 where he is foreman, challenge com- 

 parison with the best institutions in 

 the largest cities. The only wonder 

 is that action in recognition of his 

 services has not taken place before. 



Some fine hardy chrysanthemums 

 grown out of doers were shown by 

 Fred V. issenbach, potted up in frames 

 Sent. 20. He received honorable men- 

 tion. H. P. JOSLIN, Sec'y.
