MOUNT KISCO FLOWER SHOW. 



Of late years Mount Kisco Flower 

 show has come to be looked on as one 

 of the principal shows in its section. 

 The cup offered by Mr. Baily, one of 

 the leading tradesmen of the town for 

 the 24 best chrysanthemum blooms at- 

 tracts exhibitors from tar and near. 

 We had the pleasure of looking at the 

 trophy and it certainly is worth com- 

 ing a long way to win. It is valued 

 at $100 and it certainly looks its 

 value. This year such high-class 

 growers as Geo. Jliddleton, Tarry- 

 town; Wm. Duckham, Madison, N. J.; 

 Wm. Turner, Oceanic, N. J., and Ed. 

 Jenkins and Thos. Proctor of Lenox, 

 Mass., were all having a try at it. Geo. 

 Middleton won out with 24 of the most 

 magnificent blooms we have ever seen 

 on the e.xhibition table. Wm. Duck- 

 ham gave him a hard run, showing 

 many of the newer and brighter col- 

 ored varieties but the points he gained 

 in this way were overbalanced by the 

 exceptional size of bloom in the first 

 prize lot. Ed. Jenkins was third with 

 a neat, well-balanced lot of flowers. 

 The other classes were competed for 

 by the local growers and in most cases 

 the competition was keen and close. 

 Altogether it was a very pretty little

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



The Colutnbu?^ (Ohio) Florists' Club 

 will have a dance on the night of 

 November IS. 



At the annual meeting of the Wor- 

 cester County (Mass.) Horticultural 

 Society the entire board of officers and 

 trustees were re-elected. 



At the meeting of retail florists 

 called to confer with President Valen- 

 tine of the 3. A. F. at Chicago, Irwin 

 Beiternian acted as chairman and W. 

 N. Rudd, secretary. The discussion Of 

 Mr. Valentine's recommendations was 

 rjuite full and ranch enthusiasm was 

 manifested. It was voted to leave the 

 niattev to a committee of five, with 

 Mr. Valentine as chairman, to present 

 a plan to the S. A. F. directors in 

 Kochester ne.xt spring. 



The attendance at the New York 

 show for the five days was 30,734. 

 The total attendance at the show held 

 at the same place during November, 

 1908, was 8,411, the total this year be- 

 ing therefore over SVi times as great. 

 One of the gratifying features was the 

 large number which came in private 

 equipages. Another encouraging fea- 

 ture was the increased attendance 

 from day to day. the Sunday's at- 

 tendance being crowded between the 

 hours of 1 and 5. being an average of 

 over 2,800 an hour. The authorities 

 of the museum placed every facility at 

 the disposal of the management of the 

 flower show, and much of its success 

 is due to this. 



The splendid display of orchids in 

 the north hall was due to the work 

 and zeal of the newly-formed orchid 

 section of the society which had the 

 arrangement of the program, in so far 

 as it related to orchids, in hand. The 

 orchid section deserves great credit for 

 the results it accomplished.
