 This means that the night temperature 

 should not go above 45. It will pay to 

 make weekly applications of manure 

 water after the plants begin to grow. 



THE ARDMORE SHOW. 



Excellent Exhibit of Chrysanthemums 

 and Dahlias. 



Half a dozen debutantes, members of 

 the Chrysanthemum and Dahlia fam- 

 ilies, made their first bow to the pub- 

 lic when the Pennsylvania Horticul- 

 tural Society presented the season's 

 new floral buds at its annual exhibit 

 In Masonic Hall at Ardmore. 



The Jenny Wren, a feathery, pink- 

 purple dahlia, was much admired. Jean 

 Kerr, white as a snow flake, and The 

 Bride, a little white dahlia with a 

 golden heart, were among the loveliest 

 of the new flowers. . 



Rare chrysanthemums from the Jo- 

 seph B. Widener gardens and the Jap- 

 anese varieties from the George H. 

 McFadden estate were on display. 

 Countess Mildred von Holnstein, ex- 

 hibiting for the first time this year, 

 sent several varieties of carnations. 

 Mrs. George Drexel W. Childs and Mrs. 

 Frank Thomson were among the prize 

 winners in the chrysanthemum class. 



The "center-piece" of the showroom, 

 a giant bouquet, towering ten feet 

 above the modest little dahlias, won 

 first prize in its class for Joseph E. 

 Widener. It was composed of six 

 varieties of chrysanthemums — purple, 

 white and yellow and crossed color 

 tones — with a background of autumn 

 leaves and grasses. Equally imposing 

 was the immense "shower bouquet" of 

 yellow blooms — eight hundred of them 



which won the Pembroke prize for 

 George D. McFadden. A cluster of 

 twenty-four blooms, eight distinct va- 

 rieties, took first prize for the Widener 

 gardens, and another blue ribbon was 

 pinned to a Widener display of eight 

 giants in the standard colors — white 

 and yellow. 



Mrs. Charles L. Willoughby. who 

 owns a Summer mansion on Winslow 

 street, Plymouth, Mass., has purchased 

 three large dwelling houses on the 

 westerly side of the street adjoining 

 her property. They will be torn down, 

 and the land added to her estate. It 

 is reported that an Italian garden will 

 be built there. 



The Wellesley, Mass., Flower Shop 

 pasted the newspaper clipping in 

 which Richard J. Hayden advocating, 

 wearing a pompon 'mum for Armistice 

 Day, in its window and, beside it 

 fastened a 'pom to drive the sugges- 

 tion home.
