THE EXHIBITIONS 



MORRIS COUNTY GARDENERS' 

 AND FLORISTS' SOCIETY. 



The Sixteenth annual Bower show 

 ni this society was held in Assembly 

 Hall, Madison, N. J., Oct. 26 and 27, 

 and in addition there was held the an- 

 nual convention of the National Gar- 

 deners' Association, the members of 

 which were entertained at a banquet 

 in the evening which altogether made 

 it a memorable event in the horticul- 

 tural history of this thriving country 

 town. Madison is known the world 

 over as the glass-covered rose garden 

 of New Jersey and before those gigan- 

 tic western establishments were 

 hi ought into being Madison held the 

 undisputed reputation of having the 

 greatest area of rose houses in the uni- 

 verse. Naturally in such a place one 

 would only expect to see a great and 

 grand showing of roses on exhibition 

 on such an occasion as this but for 

 some reason there was not much more 

 than one would see at the average 

 show. The show as a whole was excep- 

 tionally Qne, magnificent blooms most 

 artistically arranged. It was all clean, 

 elegant stock and all concerned de- 

 serve much credit. It does one good 

 to visit Madison and meet the pro- 

 gressive men who do so much to ad- 

 vance horticulture not only in their 

 own locality but all over the world. 

 Many promising new things were 

 shown. Totty's Sunburst rose radi- 

 ated its grandeur all over and by its 

 great qualities won many special 

 prizes and many hearts. Mr. Totty 

 also showed a vase of a new pink rose, 

 No. 190. with splendid habit, perfect 

 growth and [lower. It will be a favor- 

 ite. L. 13. Coddington's Rose Queen 

 appealed to us strongly; it is a lovely 

 pink rose. E. H. Behre showed two 

 blooms of new roses, babies of the fu- 

 ture. Chas. H. Totty displayed a table 

 of greenhorn chrysanthemums that 

 will no doubt become prominent citi- 

 zens ere long. It must be understood 

 that this was the first exhibition of 

 chrysanthemums about New York this 

 season. Many good sorts were not 

 available. Mrs. D. Syme was the lead- 

 ing flower of the show. Wodenethe the 

 queen of carnations, and Sunburst shed 

 glory in their respective lines. 



There are always a few most popu- 

 lar classes in chrysanthemums in 

 which the private gardeners with ex- 

 tensive facilities make special efforts 

 to excel and the varieties winning are 

 considered the best standard varieties 

 to have. Thus in the class calling for 

 24 blooms, 2-1 varieties, there were sev- 

 eral exhibitors, all of them showing 

 grand blooms which taken collective- 

 ly, were the largest flowers we have 

 seen in many years. Win. Duckham 

 won first with the varieties I). B. 

 Crane, Alice Lemon, Montigny, W. 

 Wiindniason, George Lock. 1 < [dent

 Mrs. H. Stevens, Lady Hopetoun, Mrs. 

 D. Syme, Mrs. Lopes, Onunda and a

 the single varieties in the different 

 winning classes were Mrs. H. J. Hamp- 

 son, Chas. Graves, Bessie Payne, Katie 



Covell, J. H. G Williams, Mary Pope, 

 Peter Pan, Ladysmith. There is a 

 great future for good clean single 

 chrysanthemums. The live wire in the 

 Kingdom of Horticulture — "Boh" 

 Schultz— attended to having neat lists 

 of awards typewritten for the press. 

 The flowers were auctioned off for the 

 society's funds on the closing night. 

 All in all it was a show that many 

 a city could be proud of.
