Uic i:roui>K hy Julius Roehrs 



Co . r & llurrcll. The former 



WB8 urrauKed on raised tables sur- 

 roundlHK n central trroup and flanked 

 by low rock garden groups. Lager & 

 HurroU's display, which waa awarded 

 Slid prize, was very skillfully arranscd 

 with hero and there n little bird or 

 butterfly such as frequent the cat- 

 tleyas In their homo. 



K. R. Plerson's extensive exhibit of 

 border |>lantlnK with evererecns. forced 

 shrubs, spring flowering herbaceous 

 plants, bulbs and alpine rockery 

 gems waa a beautiful feature and 

 greatly admired. It won the $500 

 priie. The Bobblnk & Atkins exhibit 

 In the same class, winning the 2nd 

 prize. $300, was arranged on the op- 

 posite side of the wide aisle and the 

 two exhibits made a fine combination. 



The Scheepers bulb garden was one 

 of the sensations of the show. With 

 this display there was a windmill and 

 small white Summer houses, with a 

 little Dutch girl as housekeeper. The 

 garden was surrounded by a white 

 picket fence and in the centre of the 

 inclosure was a drinking basin for 

 birds. All the plots were closely filled 

 with bright colored tulips and in- 

 closed by box borders. 



A most potent attraction was the 

 ■"war garden" shown by George J. 

 Gould, of Lakewood. N. J. It was a 

 practical object lesson in vegetable 

 gardening. The garden was 25 x 36 

 ft., and with the exception of the nar- 

 row gravel walks was filled with 

 young growing plants in hills and 

 drills. Including twenty-seven varieties 

 of vegetables, the whole surrounded 

 by a picket fence. 



F. R. Plerson's entry which won the 

 $500 prize on Monday, March 18. for 

 the ;argedt and best display of cut 

 roses, comprised one thousand superb 

 blooms in tall vases, arranged with 

 great skill and included Rosalind, 

 Silvia, Ophelia. White Killarney, Kil- 

 larney Brilliant, American Beauty, 

 Francis Scott Key, Hoosier Beauty 

 and Mrs. Charles Russell. 



The display of Nephrolepis varieties 

 by F. R. Pierson was a wonderful ex- 

 hibit of specimen plants, unquestion- 

 ably the most comprehensive and im- 

 pressive collection of its class ever 

 staged. Among the novelties included 

 was the new variety Victory, with 

 crested and fantailed fronds quite 

 different from any heretofore shown. 



Carl Hagenburger came in late with 

 a group of his sterling novelties 

 Solanums Cleveland anrt Orange Queen, 

 the former bearing red fruit and the 

 latter golden orange. They attracted 

 much notice. 



A. N. Pierson put up a collection of 

 stove plants of higli character, em- 

 bracing a particularly beautiful lot of 

 big plants of the Adiantum Farley- 

 ense type.
