WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



( )WE\ A. HcxwicK. 



The third autumn exhibition of the Westchester and 

 Fairfield Horticultural Society was held in the Armory. 

 Stamford. Conn.. Xovember 7-8, and proved in every 

 respect the finest exhibition ever held by the society. En- 

 tries were heavy in the 98 classes, and competition very 

 keen. The judges, W. H. Waite, .\lex. McKenzie and 

 F. H. TIu.ss. 



Chrvsanthenuinis, which comprised the larger part of 

 the exhibits, were of excellent quality and quite equal to 

 the standard of former years. Of the trained specimens. 

 Adolph Lewisohn's Black Hawk, a gigantic plant 14 feet 

 in diameter, caused quite a .sensation. Single chrysan- 

 themum and pompon varieties, now fast coming into 

 public favor, were well staged. 



Roses stood out prominently and easily held their posi- 

 tion as the queen of flowers. Pink and White Killarney, 

 Milady, American Beauty, Mrs. Geo. Shawyer and Mrs. 

 Chas. Russell were never before shown to such advantage 

 here. 



Carnations were >ho\vn in excellent form and variety. 



Some excellent flowering and foliage groups occupied 

 the center of the hall, artistic in their design, calling forth 

 the admiration of all. 



\'egetables and tniit also added their part. Mrs. .Albert
