HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK. 



An exhibition was held on Saturday and Sunday, 

 July 5 and 6, in co-operation with the New York Bo- 

 tanical Garden, in the Museum building of that insti- 

 tution. Prizes were offered for sweet peas, herbaceous 

 plants, Japanese irises, shrubs and trees and vegetables. 

 The following' are the awards : 



Six vases Sweet peas. 6 varieties, 25 of each — 1st, Miss M. T. 

 Cockeroft. Saugatuck, Conn, (gardener, Adam Paterson) ; 2nd, 

 Miss B. Potter, Ossining, N. Y. (gardener, Geo. Wittlinger).

 I. Downey. Portchester, N. Y. (gardener, Thos. Ryan) ; 2nd, Miss

Special Prizes — Miss M. T. Cockeroft, for a vase of Gardenias; 

 Max Schling, for a basket of flowers, diploma. 



Some time ago an announceinent was made of three 

 special prizes for vegetables for the exhibition next 

 November. One of these was offered by Mr. M. C. 

 . Ebel. It was suggested to Mr. Ebel that in view of the 

 two other vegetable prizes he should transfer his 

 prize to something else. He has consented to do this, 

 and will offer the same amount, divided as follows: 

 For a collection of hot-house fruit, $35 ; for two bunches 

 of hot-house grapes, one black and one white, $15. 

 The Horticultural Society will offer a second prize of 

 $20 for the collection of fruit and a second prize of 

 $10 for the grapes. 



Remember the date of the next show is October 31 

 to November 4, and it is hoped that the local societies 

 will so arrange their dates as not to conflict with this, 

 for the meeting of the National Association of Gar- 

 deners takes place at that time at the American Mu- 

 seum of Natural History, and all gardeners in this vi- 

 cinity will certainly desire to attend.

TUXEDO HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



On Friday and Saturday, June 27 and 28, the Hor- 

 ticultural Societ}' of Tuxedo, N. Y., held its summer 

 exhibition. The schedule provided exclusively for out- 

 of-door grown products ; hence the number of entries 

 was not as large as they would have been under a 

 less restricted arrangement. The date was much too 

 late for peonies, and even roses were not as good in 

 quality or as abundant in number as they were a week 

 earlier. However, roses were most in evidence, and 

 sweet peas were next in importance.
