ROSE AND CARNATION SHOW. 



The second of the series of flower 

 shows and horticultural lectures given 

 by the Country Life Permanent Ex- 

 position, at the Grand Central Termin- 

 al, New York City, took place on Feb- 

 ruary 10th-12th. While there were 

 only two entries for the rose classes, 

 competition was keen, however, in the 

 classes for carnations, resulting in a 

 fine display of these flowers. As at 

 the first show, the table decorations 

 attracted considerable attention. They 

 were tastefully decorated, with acces- 

 sories all alike. 



On the afternoon of the first day, 

 Arthur Smith, of Reading. Pa., deliv- 

 ered a lecture on "Outdoor Roses, 

 Their Habits and Culture" to an audi- 

 ence which appeared much interested 

 in this subject, and the way Mr. Smith 

 was surrounded at the conclusion of 

 his talk and plied with questions indi- 

 cated that the public was thoroughly 

 appreciative of these lectures. 



The judges were William H. Waite 

 and J. Harrison Dick. The list of 

 prize winners follows:
