NEW YORK HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY'S SHOW. 



The annual fall exhibition of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of New Y'ork, held in the 

 American Museum of Natural History, New 

 York, November 4 to 7. was the most suc- 

 cessful ever held by that society, both in 

 display of niaguiticent plants and blooms and 

 in number of attendance. Nearly .1 hun- 

 dred and ninety-five thousand people viewed 

 the show during the four days it was in prog- 

 ress, while between one and five o'clock 

 on Sunday afternoon more than eighty-eight 

 thousand visitors inspected the sliow. 



Suiierintendeut .John Canning, of the 

 Adolph Lewisolm Estate Ardsley. N. Y., 

 it would seem, has reached the limit in size 

 of chrysanthenuim busli plants, {ov were he 

 to produce any larger ones they could not 

 enter the building. His largest plant on 

 exhibition this year was nearly seventeen 

 feet in diameter. His standard plants at- 

 tracted much attention and gave promise of 

 great possibilities in training chrysanthemums 

 in different shapes. 



The collection from Duke's Farm. Somer- 

 ville. N. J., staged by A. A. Macdonald, 

 gardener, and occupying a space of tliirty- 

 fivc feet in length by fifteen feet in depth 

 was a most unusual and interesting one. 

 ( )u cither side of a fountain, with its 

 nymphs sending the water upward, were 

 grouped the various hot house fruits grown 

 at Ouke's Farm and exhibition vegetables. 

 Banked behind these groups were chrysanthe- 

 mums and roses emiiedded in foliage plants 

 of many varieties. It was a splendid ex- 

 hibit and was awarded the Society's gold 

 medal, which is its highest prize. 



A group of lilacs and spireas in flower, 

 staged by .John Scheepers and Co., de- 

 serves notice and for which a silver medal 

 was awarded. 



The judges were Walter Angus, .Tohn D. 

 rnpihart. Alexander Michie. Robert Walk- 

 er. .Tames P.allentine and George H. Thomp- 

 son. The premiums awarded follow:
