THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



prize this year as well as last. Single chrysanthemums 

 were well represented, being the biggest competition in 

 the- show. Scott Bros, exhibited from their Elmsford 

 Nurseries, near Tarrytown, some new single chrysan- 

 tTiemums, among them being one named "Uplands" for 

 the fine estate of Mr. and Mrs. J. Borden Harriman. 

 "Uplands," Mt. Kisco. This specimen is a single 

 orange maroon in color, and if it carries out the tradi- 

 tions of Uplands in the past, it will have a great future 

 as a prize winner. The writer thanks Messrs. Scotts 

 for their consideration of this fine Mt. Kisco estate for 

 naming above single for it. 



Another great feature of this year's show was the 

 exhibits of the school children, which were so credit- 

 able to most of them that they could almost put up 

 with the garneners' classes and dispute points with 

 them for first honors. Their plants were very fine ex- 

 amples of the perseverance and patience they must 

 have exercised in their cultivation. The society feels 

 proud of this child display in inaugurating it though 

 the whole thanks of society and children must go to the 

 good lady who was first to propose this to the society 

 and to back it substantially by offering two dollars and 

 a half in gold for the first prize winners in the grades. 

 Would we had a good many more ladies like Mrs. Tay- 

 lor in this vicinity.
