HORTICULTUEE 



November 8, 191S 



across the street might be accommo- 

 dated. 



A new record was set with speci- 

 men bush plants. The struggle for 

 supremacy was again between A. 

 Lewlsohn ot Ardsley, represented by 

 John Canning, superintendent, and P. 

 Untermyer, represented by AV. H. 

 Waite and Mr. Canning was winner. 

 His three specimens. Lady Lydia, 

 white, R. F. Felton, yellow and Wells' 

 Late Pink were the sensation of the 

 show and it is not probable that their 

 like will ever be seen again. The 

 last named was the winner of the gold 

 medal sweepstakes. These plants 

 were each from 13 to 14 ft. across, 6 

 to 7 ft. high and each carrying 1600 

 to 1800 flowers of fine size and uni- 

 formity. The groups of decorative 

 plants were superior to any we havi 

 seen anywhere this season in thi- 

 beauty of the plants and the tasti- 

 shown in arrangement. The orchid.- 

 were simply superb and really a show 

 in themselves. The gem of the lot 

 was shown by Julius Roehrs Co.. un 

 der a glass case — a beautiful plant of 

 Laelio-Cattleya Ori<Me. The sweep 

 stakes winner in the orchid classes 

 was Mrs. H. Graves, gard, Edwin 

 Thomas. Her group of yellow forms 

 of Cypripedium insigne was lovely. 

 Some idea of the many attractive ex- 

 hibits not provided for in the regular 

 schedule may be gleaned from the 

 following list of special awards:

THE LENOX, MASS., SHOW. 



As u.sual, the Lenox Horticultural 

 Society's exhibition, which was held on 

 October 23 and 24, was a thing of 

 beauty and the attendance of visitors 

 showed conclusively that the public 

 was duly appreciative. Fred Heere- 

 mans again won first on plant group, a 

 grand lot, well grown and well ar- 

 ranged. A. H. Wingett was once more 

 invincible on ferns and palms. A. J. 

 Loveless won. among other things, the 

 Giraud Foster cup for orchids, the 

 Totty prize for Ursula Griswold and 

 the Wells-Pockelt silver medal for 

 Clara Banghart. S. Carlquist won the 

 medal for most meritorious exhibit, 

 with Begonia elatior. Kd. Jenkins cap- 

 tured the Breck cup with a superb 

 arrangement of fine vegetables, also 

 the Wells-Pockett gold medal for 

 chrysanthemum Clara Banghart and 

 the Elmer D. Smith prize for Klberon. 

 Heeremans got the Dreer cup for 

 greatest number of first prizes and the 

 Fottler, Fiske. Rawson medal. 



In the regular prize list, which was 

 a long one, all the gardeners on the 

 many well-known estates of this sec- 

 tion were well represented. Chrysan- 

 themimi cut blooms were magnificent 

 in every respect and roses and carna- 

 tions were of high quality throughout.
