TARRYTOWN HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The Sixteenth Annual June Exhibi- 

 tion of the Tarrytown Horticultural 

 Society was held in F. R. Pierson's 

 new floral building on the 16th inst. 

 The exhibition opened to the public 

 at 2 P. M., and remained open until 

 late in the evening. The exhibits of 

 roses, strawberries, and hardy out- 

 door flowers were particularly fine. 

 In the strawberries, a variety called 

 Barrymore was the largest and finest 

 shown. In addition to the display of 

 roses and sweet peas, which were up 

 to the usual standard of excellence, 

 there were exhibits of numerous har- 

 dy perennials, and palms and ferns 

 supplied by F. R. Pierson. The vege- 

 table exhibits, also, were very fine. 



The Society is greatly indebted to 

 Mr. Pierson for the use of his new 

 building in which to stage the exhi- 

 bits. It made a magnificent setting 

 for the flowers, enhancing their beau- 

 ty to a very great extent. The at- 

 tendance was the largest in the his- 

 tory of the Society. People were 

 present from all parts of Westches- 

 ter County, and even from Xew York 

 City. It is estimated that a thousand 

 passed through the building from the 

 opening to the close of the exhiliition. 

 For a place the size of Tarrytown, 

 this was a remarkable attendance, 

 showing the interest of the public in 

 an exhibition of this kind.
