TWO OF THE NEWER CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



Veli.Ow Millkk (Tottv). 



These are novelties of the last sea- 

 son. Yellow Miller is a sport of the 

 bronze Mrs. J. A. Miller. It won the 

 seedling class for light yellow at Chi- 

 cago on both exhibition and commer- 



cial scale and has received five other 

 certificates. It is a fine grower and 

 the flower is very large. We expect to 

 see it among the prize-winning sets in 

 man.\ of the shows this year. 

 White cloud is an early variety, a 



\\HiTE Cloud (Smith). 



pure white Japanese, rather loose 

 bloom, very large, creamy white 

 centre and with good stem and foliage. 

 There is always room for a good early 

 white, for market purposes especially, 

 and this variety certainly looks good. 



FLOWER SHOW NOTES. 



The third annual exhibition of the 

 Weston Cottage Gardening Associa- 

 tion was held on August 27, at Weston, 

 Manitoba. There was a fine show, 

 with good music and the affair was an 

 unqualified success. 



George A. Robinson, J. Luck and W. 

 P. Pascoe were the judges in the Mon- 

 treal Horticultural Society's garden 

 competition. Eight prizes were award- 

 ed for city gardens, suburban gardens 

 and back-yard gardens. 



An attractive flower show was given 

 at Andover. Mass., on September 3, 

 under the combined auspices of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club and the 

 Village Improvement Society. Special 

 displays were made by Messrs. Par- 

 quhar and Fiske Seed Co. 



The exhibition of the Worcester 

 County (Mass.) Horticultural Society 

 on September 1, was especially rich 

 in gladioli, of which J. L. Moore and 

 E W. Breed showed some desirable 

 novelties. Asters, dahlias and cannas 

 were displayed in profusion and the 

 fruit entries were numerous. 



The Aberdeen (Wash.) Civic Im- 

 provement Association's second annu- 

 al flower show was a great success, 

 showing a decided advance in all re- 

 spects over that of last year. Both 

 adults and children took part in the 

 competition and more than one thous- 

 and admissions at 10 cents were re- 

 corded. 



The sixth annual carnival of the 

 Pairport (N. Y.) Floral Society, was 

 held on August 26 and 27. The dis- 

 play of flowers, center pieces, plants, 

 etc., was not quite as large as in re- 

 cent years, but was superior in quality. 

 Chas. H. Vick, of Rochester, and F. S. 



Fisher of Fairport, served acceptably 

 as judges. 



The first flower show in Helena, 

 Montana, held at the Auditorium on 

 August 25, was a grand success in the 

 extent and quality of the displays and 

 the appreciative interest shown by the 

 public. The enterprise was conceived 

 and carried out by the ladies and the 

 professional florists lent their aid. 

 There were over 300 entries. Gov. 

 Norris and Pres. Pickett of the Com- 

 mercial Club made short addresses.
