425- 



arirl vegetables, arranged in ingenious 

 jMosaic pattern, iifty feet in lieiglit. 

 This was erected by F. llarquardt and 

 was awarded the $400 prize. 



The flower beds, which were round, 

 about 10 ft. in diameter and raised a 

 lillJe above the level of the lawn, 

 were placed at regular distances from 

 the central monument, and all did 

 credit to those v\'ho arranged them. 

 The prizes, which were all the way 

 from $75 down to $5, were won as fol- 

 lows: 



John Baumaun, Middle Village, 1st 

 and 2nd on, carpet beds, both very well 

 executed pieces of mosaic work; 1st on 

 foliage plants and on salmon gerani-

The choral singing, band music ac- 

 companying the various visiting so- 

 cieties, brilli-ant illuminations and gen- 

 eral rejoicing last Sunday afternoon 

 and evening, made an occasion long to 

 be remembered. A goodly represen- 

 tation of the New York and New Jer- 

 sel Association of Plant Growers was 

 among the visitors, and they were re- 

 ceived and escorted about the grounds, 

 headed by the band, amid great enthu- 

 siasm. Our illustration shows a few 

 of them. 



A. F. Schrader of Elmhurst has 

 served as superintendent ever since 

 1S94. The next event will be an ex- 

 hibition of pot plants and cut flowers 

 on November 7.

Investigation, however, will sliow 



vou that old stock can be made to 



pay well and yuung stock pay 



better by using Potash. 



It produces more fruit and better fruit — 



you have more to sell and at better prices. 



Potash Pays 



as can be shown in hundreds of 

 cases. Commercial fertilizers often 

 lack sufficient Potash. See that 

 yours contains at least lo to 12 per cent, of it.
