CHRYSANTHEMUMS AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 



In the Greenhouses of the Dept. of 



Every fall the Department of Flori- 

 culture gives a special exhibition of 

 chrysanthemums for the benefit of the 

 students, faculty and townspeople. 

 This exhibition is planned to be educa- 

 tional and to illustrate different meth- 

 ods of culture and training, as well as 

 different types of blooms. The blooms 

 in the University greenhouses were 

 better than ever this year in spite ot 

 the exceedingly warm weather of the 

 last month. 



The public exhibition was held on 

 Saturday afternoon and evening, Oct. 

 31, and was very largely attended. 

 Aside from the chrysanthemums 

 grown at the University, a splendid 

 collection of varieties was sent by the 

 following; Elmer D. Smith, Adrian, 

 Mich.; Pittsburgh Cut-Flower Co., 

 Pittsburgh, Pa.: K. C. Ludwig Floral 

 Co., Pittsburgh, Pa.; Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., Phila., Pa.; W. W. Edgar Co., 

 Waverley, Mass.; W. J. Palmer & Son,

Floriculture at Cornell University. 



Buffalo, N, Y.; W. F. Kasting & Co.. 

 Buffalo, N. Y.; Anton Schultheis, Col- 

 lege Point, N. Y.; and the U. S. Cut- 

 Flower Company of Elmira, N. Y. 

 Many exhibitors sent roses, caniations 

 and other flowers in addition to chrys- 

 anthemums. The two retail stores in 

 Ithaca each exhibited a table decora- 

 tion. The Bool Co. had a Hallowe'en 

 table in delicate yellow, and the Hill- 

 side Floral Co. had a decoration of 

 pink chrysanthemums. The class in 

 amateur floriculture showed a number 

 of table decorations for luncheons. 

 These were planned to show simple 

 designs such as could be used in the 

 home. 



The Department of Floriculture ap- 

 preciates the cordial cooperation 

 shown by the many florists in various 

 parts of the United States. Their as- 

 sistance helps wonderfully in demon- 

 strating to the students what is being 

 done along practical lines.

ASBURY PARK, N. J. 



With a display of choicest chrysan 

 theniums, rare tropical plants and a 

 varied assortment of orchids, the an- 

 nual fall flower show of the Elberon 

 Horticultural Society opened Tuesday 

 evening, Nov. 3, in the boardwalk 

 Casino. The Casino presented a most 

 attractive ai)pearance with the blend- 

 ing of natural blossoms and electrical 

 floral decorations. Every detail, as 

 to setting and background for the 

 choice blossoms to appear at their 

 best, had been carefully planned. 



The exhibition of chrysanthemums 

 this year far surpassed any previously 

 seen here and the public interest was 

 very great. To the right and left ot 



the Casino was banked a gorgeous dis- 

 play of tropical plants, while the cen- 

 ter is given over to the orchids. The 

 east end was banked high with single 

 and double chrysanthemums inter- 

 spersed with ferns. Scattered through 

 the exhibition was a splendid assort- 

 ment of palms and ferns. The bal- 

 cony was given over to cut flowers in- 

 cluding single chrysanthemums, carna- 

 tions, violets and roses in baskets and 

 vases, choice fruits and vegetables. 

 Here also was displayed the amateur 

 results in the growing of hardy chrys- 

 anthemums. 



Among the chief exhibitors were: 

 K. Gnggenbeim, uanl. liobl. .Mien; 

 Kri'd'k Krclinghnyseli, g.-ird. lii'O. Masson;
