THE FALL EXHIBITION 



The Annual Fall Exhibition was held November 4 to 7 in the 

 American Museum of Natural History, in cooperation with that 

 institution under permission of the trustees. The usual private 

 view was given to members of the society, of the Museum and of 

 affiliated organizations on the evening of the 4th. The exhibit 

 was open free to the public for the remainder of the term : from 

 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. and from 7 to 10 P.M. on Friday and Saturday, 

 an(^ on Sunday from i to 5 P.M. The attendance was greater 

 than ever, totalling 194,024, divided as follows : Thursday, 5,541 ; 

 Friday, 33,980; Saturday, 65,910; Sunday, 88,593. 



As usual the large bush chrysanthemum plants and the larger 

 specimens of other kinds were placed in the foyer, now known 

 as the Hall of Fame. In the north wing were the orchids ; in 

 the east wing the roses, carnations and table decorations ; and 

 in the west wing and Indian hall the cut blooms of chrysanthe- 

 mums, and the large exhibit from Duke's Farm. Mr. John 

 Young was manager and had charge of the arrangements of the 

 exhibits. 



The great feature this year, as in past years, was the exhibit of 

 bush chrysanthemums made by Mr. Adolph Lewisohn of Ardsley, 

 New York, John Canning, superintendent. It was thought last 

 fall that the maximum had been reached, but the plant of R. F. 

 Felton, with a diameter of 16 feet 10 inches, was larger than 

 anything ever exhibited before. These and other large plants
