THE NEW YORK SHOW. 

 It Was a Great Success in Every Way. 



The International Flower Show neld 

 in New York last week came to a close 

 Sunday, and everyone connected in any 

 way with the making of that show can 

 rightly be excused for their enthu- 

 siasm. It was a glorious success, all 

 records were broken as to attendance 

 and financial results, the quality of the 

 stock was wonderful, competition was 

 •keen, and while we all know that there 

 were some lines missing such as 

 azaleas, which were probably the most 

 important, other entries served to fill 

 the hall with probably as fine a quality 

 lot of stock as was ever shown in New 

 York. 



Besides those particular entries 

 which we mentioned in last week's 

 issue, it is proper to draw attention to 

 the high lights which almost every- 

 body will agree were the rose displays; 

 particularly those staged on Friday, 

 when Duckham-Pierson Co., F. R. Pier- 

 son Co. and A. N. Pierson, Inc., put up 

 three wonderful groups and won in the 

 order named. 



The fern display put up by F. R. 

 Pierson Co. was very fine. Not only 

 was the arrangement particularly 

 strong, but the quality of the stock 

 in that group was of the finest. 



The display of sweet peas on the 

 balcony by the W. Atlee Burpee Com- 

 pany is also well worthy of mention. 

 The storemen as well as the plant 

 growers were intensely interested In 

 A. U Miller's lilies, and many guesses 

 were made as to the origin of that 

 stock. A great many of the plant grow- 

 ers would like to know where the 

 bulbs came from and what they really 

 were. The foliage is decidedly differ- 

 ent from any of the so-called Easter 

 lilies. It is evidently neither a gigan- 

 teum nor a formosum, but at any rate 

 it is a mighty good lily whatever it is. 

 We understand it is earlier than the 

 giganteum, and the specimens shown 

 bear out Mr. Miller's statement that 

 they throw a larger percentage of 

 blooms. 



What a pity it is that more of the 

 big cities cannot get an organization 

 working that would assure them an 

 annual flower show as is being done 

 In New York. Of course In that city 

 they now have it down to a fine art, 

 and the show is assured of success 

 every year. The management carries 

 it right along in a smooth working 

 way, and they are certainly to be con- 

 gratulated upon their success.
