LENOX HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Robert Tyson. 



The Lenox Horticultural Society held their fall 

 exhibition in the Town Hall, Lenox, on October 23 

 and 24. 



The show was in every way successful, this year 

 being a record for number and excellence of exhibits. 



The groups of miscellaneous plants which are al- 

 ways a feature at Lenox were even better than in 

 previous years. 



There were two entries in this class, both excellent 

 examples of plant culture and artistic arrangement. 



Mr. F. Herrmans, superintendent for W. D. Sloane, was placed 

 first by a small margin over Mr. Ed. Jenkins, superintendent for 

 Giraud Foster. 



Mr. Herrmans was also awarded the Chronicle cup and the 

 Micliell silver medal given for the most meritorious exhibit for 

 this plant group. He also won the prize for the most first prizes 

 throughout the show. 



The orchid groups were also very fine, especially the one put 

 up by Mr. A. J. Loveless, superintendent for ilr. W. E. A. Gris- 

 wold, who was placed first, and who won the Giraud Foster cup. 



The date was rather early to see chrysanthemums at their best, 

 but very good fiowers were staged, especially the 10 flowers of 

 Beatrice May put up by Thomas Page, superintendent for W. 

 Hall Walker, Great Barrington, and which was awarded the 

 C. S. A. cup; also the 24 flowers in 24 varieties staged by A. J. 

 Loveless, which won the Pierson W. Bar prize. 



Roses were very good, especially the American Beauties put 

 up by F. Herrmans. 



The different classes for carnations were closely contested and 

 about equally divided between the different exhibitors. Alto- 

 gether there was an excellent showing of carnations. 



A verj' fine lot of outdoor grown fruit was shown. The first, for 

 12 varieties of apples, was won by R. C. Dixey with excellent 

 examples. 



Indoor grapes were also good, W. M. Salisbury, Pittsfield, win- 

 ning the class for 2 bunches of black grapes, and F. H. Butler for 

 2 bunches of white grapes. 



The vegetable classes, both collections and single dishes, brought 

 out great competition. Mr. Ed. Jenkins winning the Breck cup 

 for 16 varieties, all of which were very good and nicely staged. 



Mr. S. Carlquist was first for the collection of 12 kinds. 



Single dishes of vegetables were numerous and closely contested. 



Mr. A. H. Wingett. superintendent for Charles Lanier, was the 

 principal winner in ferns and palm classes. 



The judges were : J. W. Everitt, Glen Cove, L. I. ; 

 R. E. Tyson, Convent Station, N. J. ; James Ballan- 

 tine, Ridgefield, Conn., and H. B. Vyse, of Morris- 

 town, N. J. 



MORRIS COUNTY GARDENERS AND FLOR- 

 ISTS' SOCIETY. 



The annual fall flower show of the Morris County 

 Gardeners and Florists' Society, its eighteenth, was 

 held in the Assembly Building, Aladison, N. J., October 

 28 and 29. Chrysanthemums, as usual, were the chief 

 feature, and while the blooms were not as large as 

 have been seen, nevertheless they were of excellent 

 quality. A fine exhibit of roses was also displayed, and 

 carnations were one of the features of the show. 



The general arrangement of the whole show was 

 good, the stage of the hall being beautifully decorated 

 with a fine collection of single chrysanthemums from 

 the establishment of Charles H. Totty. Most of these 

 were potted plants and arranged in semicircular groups 

 to give the appearance of a beautiful garden and em- 

 bracing nearly all the newest varieties. Mr. Totty was 

 awarded a gold medal for his exhibit.
