THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



Crane being a winner of two cups and several other 

 prizes in the former. 



Several excellent groups of orchids were staged. 



The gardeners' decorative art was again displayed in 

 the basket and table decorations. In the former P. W. 

 Popp, gardener to H. Darlington, came first with a splen- 

 , did decorated basket of chrysanthemums and autumn 

 foliage, a very artistic piece of work. Thos. Aitchison, 

 gardener to Henry Seigel, was second with a pretty 

 basket neatly arranged. 



Great interest was displayed in the table decorations 

 with competition very keen. Thos. Aitchison, winner in 

 this class, put up a wonderfully pretty table of Lady 

 Hillingdon roses, which was greatly admired. A. Pater- 

 son and Thos. Ryan were second and third respectively 

 with very pretty tables. 



The interior decorations of the hall, which added in 

 no small way to the general success of the exhibition, 

 were kindly donated by Chas. T. W. Main, the local 

 florist. Excellent music provided by Kearney's orchestra 

 combined with the artistic surroundings added the fin- 

 ishing touch to this most successful exhibition in the 

 history of the society.
