THE NEWPORT, NEW HAVEN AND NEW 

 YORK SHOWS. 



The detailed reports of tlie fall .«how held at New- 

 port, and the dahlia shows at New Haven and New 

 York, reached us too late for publication, but will be 

 reported fully in the next issue. 



Newport and New Haven were well supported and 

 had many exhibitions. The display at the American 

 Institute, New York, was di.sappointinfj in the quan- 

 tity show, though quality was good, and the manage- 

 ment is to be congratulated on the new hall. It is a 

 marked improvement over the old quarters.

Take advantage of this "Question Box." 



I have three houses 50 feet by 20 feet, now used en- 

 tirely for rose and carnation growing. I want to change 

 them for growing a larger variety, and to include some 

 fruits and vegetables. Can you give me any sugges- 

 tions as to what I can best grow in variety in so small 

 a range? I want to include some plants for decorating 

 the house besides cut flowers. — G. M., New York. 



What has been the experience of your readers in 

 growing chrysanthemums for show purposes? Can 

 any say whether they get better results from pot grow- 

 ing than from growing in benches? This is my first 

 experience, and some neighbors tell me that individual 

 pot-grown plants produce the best specimens. Is this 

 so?--S. W., Ohio.
