INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 



Grand Central Palace, New York 



'I'll.- Iciiirtli siniiij; rxhiliiliuii in tli.- 

 <;runil Ci'iilriil I'alace, wIiUli opciied 

 on Wi'iliiosday afleriioon, April 5. Is 

 the most niiishod and arllstlcally ar- 

 nmged show It has ever heen our 

 pleasure to see. "Tress Day" conies 

 too close to the opening day for ns to 

 slve more thao a very hrlef comment 

 on the various displays or other than 

 a very Incomplete list of the winners 

 in the first days judging. The great 

 interest centered ahout the Rose Gar- 

 dens and the groups of plants ar- 

 ranged for effect by the private gar- 

 deners. All previous rosegarden dis- 

 play in this country pale in compari- 

 son with the winner in this great cora- 

 petition. 1st prize was won by F. R. 

 rierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., whose 

 exhibit was a triumph of simplicity, 

 color harmony and perfect flnish. 

 Standard roses were used with splen- 

 <iid effect in this exhil)it. A. N. Pier- 



• on's entry in this class, which was 

 awarded 2nd prize was a very daintv 

 arrangement enclosed with a rustic 

 railing. I3obbink & Atkins' entrv was 

 "luite original, the garden being en- 



• losed with a low brick wall with stone 

 posts and pedestals. .Julius Hoehrs Co. 

 also showed originality in their rose 

 garden entry. There were five entries 

 for the great class of flowering plants 

 and bulbs by private gardeners. As 

 the i)rize awards sliow. Adolph Lewi- 

 sohn. gard. J. Canning, was the winner 

 of 1st but it took the judges a very 

 long time with added referees to de- 

 cide. A more explicit statement in the 

 schedule as to what is intended by 

 "arrangement" is needed. The winning 

 group was a perfect galaxv. full of 

 sparkle and fragrance. Buddleia asiat- 

 ica made a very fine effect here. F. E 

 Lewis was the winner of the second 

 prize and W. B. Thompson, 3rd. Spe- 

 cial mention was awarded to P W 

 l^opp, gard. for Mrs. H. Darlington, in 

 this class. 



The rockery gardens were also a 

 great attraction. A. N. Pierson's en- 

 try, with primulas, heucheras, daph- 

 nes^, etc., was a beautiful conception 

 Bobbink & Atkins- rock garden was 

 also a gem. rich in alpine plants, irises 

 etc. ,rulius Roehrs Co. was another 

 competitor in this class, putting up a 

 very extensive arrangement. 



Among the cut flower displays a 

 vase of Farquhar's Giant antirrhinums 

 shown by J. B. Urquhart of Newport 

 was a centre of wondering admiration 

 .Most of the cut flowers were displayed 

 on the second floor. Here were also 

 schizanthus. cyclamen, primula, tulip, 

 hyacinth and daffodil groups. In tulips 

 we noticed particularly the Van Wav- 

 eren novelty De Wet orange scarlet 

 and Narcissus Van Waveren Giant and 

 Olympia. 



In the fern classes the specimen 

 Adiantum Farleyense by J. D. Urqu- 

 hart of Newport was the gem. 



The orchid displays were unpreced- 

 entedly fine. Julius Roehrs Co., Clem- 

 ent Moore, Lager & Hurrell, and oth- 

 ers, showed glorious collections ar- 

 ranged with consummate taste. 



U !• Ii;n.. iiiily tciuclicil iijidii a few 

 of the outstanding features of this un- 

 precedented flower show. Next week 

 we shall try to do it justice. 



The trade section is, aa usual, well 

 filled with exhibits, some of the booths 

 being very siiadous. These, too, we 

 shall give in detail in our next issue.
