 of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was 

 held in the Y. M. C. A. building October 31. 

 November 1. and 2. 1923. .Although the hall 

 was somewhat smaller than Music Hall,

 tofore, it was beautifully decorated with 

 Southern Smilax and was one bouquet of 

 flowers. The exhibits were particularly fine 

 throughout. Three maenificent groups of 

 Chysanthemums, filling the south end of the 

 hall, attracted a great deal of attention. The 

 competition on these was very close and the 

 iudges had difficulty in deciding. The ex- 

 hibits were made bv Mrs. Frederic E. Lew"is. 

 John D. Rf ckefeller and Mrs. H. M. Tilford. 



The other special feature of the e.xhibi- 

 tion was a fine table of the new yellow rose.
