HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF 

 NEW YORK 

 The annual fall exhibition of this 

 society was held at the American 

 Museum of Natural History, from 

 November 7th to 10th. While the 

 show was much smaller than those of 

 previous years, yet it was very meri- 

 torious in the quality of material 

 shown and number of sensational en- 

 tries as shown in the following list of 

 prize awards. John Canning, the 

 chrysanthemum wizard of previous 

 years was not in evidence this time 

 but his place was creditably filled by 

 Robert Marshall of the De Lamar 

 estate at Glen Cove, as the illustra- 

 tion which appears herewith amply 

 testifies. There was a most remark- 

 able collection of vegetables.
