 out. The display of herbaceous llowers was 

 exceedingly fine, and the roses were much 

 lietter than might have been expected for 

 tlie late season.

 fine oxhiliit of herbaceous flowers and an 



exhibit of tlie new rose Silver Jloon. 

 Among the other prize winners Winthrop 

 Sargent, Fishkill, N. Y. (F. E. Whitney,

 twelve vases of named roses, and also the 

 American Rose Society's metal for the best 

 exhibit in all classes of the schedule:

 collections of vegetables (24 kinds), and 

 several other prizes: Gerald L. Hoyt.

 dener), was also a large prize winner, being

 and Roses: and the Hon. Levi P. Morton

FALL EXHIBITS OF MORRIS COUNTY 



GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' 



SOCIETY. 



The Morris County Gardeners' and Flor- 

 ists' Society will make a special feature of 

 vegetables at their next fall show, to be 

 held in Madison, N. J., October 28-29. 



One class in particular is worthy of 

 special notice, it is to be known as the 

 "Madison Class." It calls for 12 distinct 

 kinds of vegetables, to be arranged on a 

 table space of 6 feet by 4 feet. Beauty of 

 arrangement to count in the judges' final 

 summing up. There will be a printed scale 

 of points for different vegetables printed in 

 our schedule, so no one need be surmising. 



The people of Madison are subscribing to 

 the prize fund, and we want to give them 

 a good exhibition. 



Prizes are: $75 first; $50 second: and .$25 

 third. 



It is an open class, and we sincerely hope 

 to get our brother gardeners from a distance 

 to help us make it a success.
