TARRYTOWN HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



Owing to war conditions, tiie usual 

 large fall exhibition was omitted and 

 a small exhibition was held on Ttiurs- 

 day. November 7th. 1918. in the 

 society's own rooms in the Corpora- 

 tion Building. 



Competition was open to members 

 of the society only. While the ex- 

 hibits were not large, the quality of 

 same was equal to that of any previ- 

 ous exhibition. A particularly fine loi 

 of fruit was exhibited, principally by 

 Dr. C. C. Branp and Mrs. Stanley J. 

 MrCormick. There were also fine ex 

 hibits of chrysanthemums, etc.. by 

 John D. Rockefeller, Finley J. Shep- 

 ard. Dr. C. C. Brace, Emil Rerolz- 

 heimer. J. I. D. Bristol, David L. 

 Luke. Robert Mallory, and Henry 

 Sidenbe-g. An exhibit of pot plants 

 of chrysanthemum Nagirroc, by Finley 

 ■T. Shepard, grown in 6-inch pots at- 

 tracted a great deal of attention. 

 These plants were particularly well- 

 grown and made a fine exhibit. A cul- 

 tural certificate was awarded this ex- 

 hibit. The largest chrysanthemum 

 was a bloom of Queen Mary, shown by 

 Emil Berolzheimer. 



A box of apples arranged in the 

 form of a red cross was exhibited by 

 Dr. C. C. B'-ace, receiving honorable 

 mention. The flowers, fruits, and
