FLORAL EXHIBIT AT TARRY- 

 TOWN, N. Y. 



The Annual Fall Exhibition of the 

 Tarrytown, N. Y. Horticultural Society 

 was held In Music Hall, November 3, 

 4 and ,'>. Music Hall was turned into a 

 fairyland after the exhibits had been 

 arranged. 



The exhibition again proved a suc- 

 cess. Owing to the unfavorable 

 weather conditions, the exhibits in the 

 Chrysanthemum line were not quite 

 as extensive as in former years, but 

 of fine quality. The fruit and vegetable 

 exhibits were far ahead of previous 

 exhibits. Competition was keen In 

 the table decoration for the Stuyvesant 

 Fish Cup. 



Notably on exhibition was a new 

 pink rose on the order of La Prance, 

 and also a pink Francis Scott Key, 

 exhibited by F'. R. Pierson. This firm 

 was also awarded the Certificate of 

 Merit tor their beautiful exhibition of 

 Roses, Chrysanthemums, Ferns, I'alnis, 

 etc. 



Certificate of Merit was awarded to 

 Hubert E. Rogers, Charles L. Fisher, 

 superintendent, for four heads of 

 Cauliflower; Honorable Mention to 

 Mrs. Stanley McCormack for exhibi- 

 tion of Cosmos.

 T. F. Eastwood, Garrison, N. Y.; Alex 

 MacKenzie, White Plains; and George 

 Middleton, Tarrytown. On the second 

 day they were William Whitton. New 

 Rochelle: E. Beckett, White Plains; 

 and Duncan McGregor, Tuxedo Park,

The exhibition was well attended 

 and fully appreciated by all those who

AMERICAN NURSERY INDUSTRY 

 According to the latest census, there 

 are in the United States, 4,500 nurs- 

 eries, covering 172,800 acres, repre- 

 senting an investment of 52,.500,000 

 dollars, employing 45,600 men and 

 2,279 women, using 14,200 animals, 

 and there are 3,400,000,000 woody 

 plants or trees growing in the nurs- 

 eries of this country. 



FLOWERS AND GUM 

 It is stated that forty-five million 

 dollars are now spent on flowers every 

 year in the U. S. A. This looks a big 

 total, but it is also stated that this is 

 less by five millions than is spent on 

 the unpleasant habit of chewing gum. 

 so there is evidently still room for 

 advance.
