GARDEiSERS' CHRONICLE 



The classes on Wednesday were again devoted to roses. 

 Keen competition was displayed in the table decorations, 

 where yellow appeared to be the predominant color. In 

 practically every entry the exhibitor used the tall vase 

 in the center of the table with smaller vases containing the 

 same flowers. The first prize went to Mrs. li. .McK. 

 Twombley, who decorated with Golden Ophelia : the sec- 

 ond to T. Aitchison, who made use of Mrs. Aaron Ward, 

 and the third to Mrs. Payne \\'hitney, who used the pale 

 yellow Ophelia. Traendly & Schenck won first honors in 

 the commercial class with a most artistic display covering 

 three hundred square feet. Trellises covered with ivy 

 were used for the background ; the [pillars supporting the 

 baskets and vases were banked with ferns and ivy. No- 

 ticeable among the roses shown were vases of Francis 

 Scott Key, Crusader, Premier, White Killarney, etc. The 

 roses staged by A. X. Pierson in their attractive display, 

 winning second honors, were Dark Pink Columbia, 

 Ophelia, Premier, White Killarney, Crusader, etc. The 

 stands were set oil by groups of ferns to soften the ar- 

 rangement. Huge bunches of Francis Scott Key, Butter- 

 flv, (Jphelia, Columbia, Crusader, etc., arranged grace- 

 fully in lovely Japanese vases, formed the F. R. Pierson 

 rose exhibit, which was given third honors. P>eneath the 

 vases. Maidenhair and Xcphrolepis ferns were placed, pro- 

 ducing a charming effect. 



Keen contest existed on Thursday in the carnation class- 

 es for private growers. Of the ten entries for the variety 

 "Laddie,"' the judges finally selected G. G. Mason. Tuxe- 

 do Park, X. Y., D. AlacGregor, gardener, as the winner 

 of the first prize. J. E. \\'idener, Elkins Park, Pa., 

 William Kleinheinz, gardener, secured first honors over 

 his competitors with a vase of one hundred fifty blooms 

 of Laddie. Yellow was the favored color in the carnation 

 table decorations as with the rose on the previous day, and

 contestant in the large class, occupying one hundred fifty 

 square feet, and their display was especially delightful 

 with baskets and vases of "Laddie," "Enchantress Su- 

 jjreme," "Hope Henshaw," "Matchless," etc.
