and H. E. Converse. ]\Iajor Bonaffon was excellent 

 again but Colonel Appleton and Mrs. Weeks have not 

 kept their past reputation, very few tiowers of the former 

 being in evidence. 



The specimen plants shown by Mrs. Allerton were fine, 

 but unfortunately several of her finest specimens were 

 frozen in transit. 



The most conspicuous vase of cut mums, was the 12 

 Wm. Turner, shown by J. J. Mitchell, and in pot plants 

 Mrs. J. H. Moore exhibited some exceptionally well- 

 grown Singles Pompons and Anemones in 6-inch pots. 



Carnations were excellent for the time of the year. 

 The prize donated by The Gardeners' Chronicle of 

 America for the most meritorious exhibit shown by a 

 member of the National .Vssociation of Gardeners was 

 awarded for the new Anemone "C. L. Hutchinson," ex- 

 hibited by W. P. Longland, gardener to C. L. Hutchin- 

 son. Mr. Longland's group in which the above variety 

 was featured contained some excellent varieties, several 

 of which are of Air. Longland's raising, among them be- 

 ing "Alarie Poole," a salmon pink of excellent possi- 

 bilities. 



The tables of orchids attracted much attention, as also 

 did the excellent collection of fruit staged by E. Johnson, 

 gardener to Mrs. C. Seipp, these demonstrating to the 

 most skeptical, that excellent apples can be grown in 

 Wisconsin.

GOVERNMENT CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW. 



The thirtcentli annual government chrysanthemum 

 show, under the auspices of the Department of Agri- 

 culture, opened on \\'ednesday morning, October 29, 

 in the government gardens, Washington, D. C. The 

 exhibition was open to the public from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. 

 daily, and continued for nearly two weeks. 



More than 1,000 plants were on exhibition. In the 

 collection there were more than 160 varieties of chrys- 

 anthemums and also some 170 varieties of the pompon. 

 Tl'.e collection included many unusual examples of 

 single and double tiowers. The exhibit included a num- 

 ber of new varieties, among those of special interest 

 being the Bob Pulling, Gilbert Drabble, His Majesty, 

 Solomon, Yonkcrs. Mrs. W. E. Tricker, Rose Queen, 

 Crown Princess, Elberon, Mrs. G. L. Wiggs, Miss .-\. E. 

 Roope, Prof. Billandet, C. J. Vert, Madison, Consul 

 Lewis, Elizabeth Seaton, Perle Francaise (a French 

 and Duchess of Fife. 



Of these the Bob Pulling was regarded by experts 

 as probably the handsomest plant in the collection. Its 

 liright yellow petals measure more than nine inches 

 from the center of 'the flower to the tip. The long 

 petals curve gracefully in reflex and incurved growths. 



The pure white Gilbert Drabble was a close com- 

 petitor for honors with the Bob Pulling. This plant is 

 very tall and handsome, and also possesses the reflexed 

 and incurved petals. His Majesty, which has a rich, 

 deep-red bloom, attracted particular attention from 

 florists, and is regarded as a remarkably fine specimen. 



In addition, there was shown some unusual depart- 

 ment seedlings, which, as yet, have not been named.
