ELBERON HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY. 



Tlu i imil \iinual Exhibition of this 

 young ami vigorous society was held 

 at the New Casino, on the beach at 

 Asbury Park, X. .).. Nov. 7th ami 8th. 

 A fine building ami it was tin- best 

 show ever given by the society, cred- 

 itable in every way. The Forms of 

 orchids and plains and some of the mi 

 chrysanthemums shone out most 

 promini nlly and were of unexcelled 

 quality. Most of the classes were open 

 to members only, which had a very 

 much-afraid look. Outsiders won all 

 in the open classes and in this light 

 the successi s of Geo. H. Hale and Wil- 

 liam Vert were all the more impressive. 

 Asbury Park, beautiful in the summer- 

 time has the appi arance of a dead city 

 at this time of the year, all the big 

 hotels and houses being closed. There 

 is, however, considerable of a scattered 

 population and this we hope will make 

 the ..vent a financial success, for the 

 hard work and its result — a might v 

 good little show — deserves to win on I 

 in every waj . 



Local professional florists and gar- 

 deners took advantage of the occasion 

 to make creditable displays. N. A 

 Corlin occupied the stage with a very 

 attractive laid-out garden in gravelled 

 walks and exotic groups, the whole 

 specially illuminated. Ross & Fen- 

 ton put up a miniature garden with 

 cottage, lake. etc. William Tricker 

 had a group of his new Vinca; M. H. 

 Kruschka, a nice group of palms and 

 flowering plants suitable for house cul- 

 ture. These were arrayed with live 

 singing birds in cages. The Moon- 

 Seed Co., Phila., showed a table of 

 bulbs, etc., W. W. Kennedy & Sons. 

 Rfd Bank, and Frank Logan of Rum- 

 son, contributed interesting displays 

 of outdoor chrysanthemums for ex- 

 hibit only. 



In the evening all were entertained 

 at dinner given by the society, at the 

 Dell Country Club, where good cheer 

 cemented good fellowship.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF 

 NEW YORK. 



The above Society's Fall Exhibition 

 was held in the Museum of Natural 

 History, New York City, from Novem- 

 ber 3rd to 7th, and was a great sur- 

 prise in every way. Entrance was 

 free and there was a continuous stream 

 of visitors. Teachers brought their 

 classes from all the private and pub- 

 lic schools in the neighborhood. Some 

 3,000 people passed through in four 

 hours on Sunday. It was all splendid 

 missionary work and this young So- 

 ciety is to be congratulated on the 

 good work it is doing. Something 

 like 150 new members have joined it 

 within a year, and judging from pres- 

 ent methods and works it is destined 

 to be a Society worthy of the metrop- 

 olis. 



Orchids were the great feature; 

 they were all superb. Then those 

 vases of 50 roses e^ch were a revela- 

 tion to all and Canning's chrysanthe- 

 mum bush plants were the largest 

 ever shown in the United States, at 

 least. Single and pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums had a winning time of it and 

 made most friends. 



A detailed account of the exhibits 

 is deferred till next week on account 

 of lack of space in this issue. 



THE DETROIT SHOW. 



As the time for our club show ap- 

 proaches we begin to realize that the 

 entire 20th Century building will be 

 none too large for the expected ex- 

 hibits. 



Beautiful cups have been donated by 

 Mrs. S. Newberry, Mrs. Helen New- 

 berry', Harry Basley, Wm. Hielscher, 

 Albert Pochelon. Phil. Breitmeyer. 

 Kenneth-Anderson Co., Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exch., Detroit Florist Club. 

 Henry A. Dreer. Foley Mfg. Co., Lord 

 & Burnham Co.. Kroeschell Bros. Co.. 

 A. Henderson Co., S. S. Skidelsky and 

 Lohrman Seed Co., besides nearly $50u 

 in cash prizes. 



While this show is confined to local 

 club members only, prizes are only 

 awarded to the growers. Certain rooms 

 have been set aside, however, for the 

 retailers but they will exhibit without 

 competition. 



Officers were elected as follows at 

 the annual meeting of the Worcester 

 County, Mass., Horticultural Society: 

 Edward W. Breed of Clinton, presi- 

 dent; Arthur J. Marble, Charles 

 Greenwood and Herbert R. Kinney, all 

 of Worcester, vice-presidents; Leonard 

 C, Midgely of Worcester, secretary: 

 Burt W. Greenwood of Worcester, 

 treasurer: Albert H. Lange. Myron W. 

 i'i inverse and Allyn W. Hixon. all of 

 Worcester, new members of the board 

 of trustees The society has gained 26 

 new members during the past year, 

 and lost 11. The report of Treasurer 

 Greenwood showed receipts of $44,- 

 277.01 and expenditures of $34,154.81.
