 Doty won first for a vase of twelve show or fancy, Mills & Co. 

 second, and Mr. Ailing third. For a vase of twelve pompon Mr. 

 Ailing won first. Mills & Co. second, and Mr. Doty third. The 

 first prize was won by Mills & Co. for a vase of twelve single or 

 collarette ; Mr. Ailing took the second in this class, and Mr. Doty 

 the third. In the class of a vase arranged for effect the entries, 

 in the judgment of the judges, were not of sufficient merit, so the 

 prizes were not awarded. 



There was much better competition in the classes open to all 

 than in those for non-commercial growers. In the latter classes 

 Mr. Thos. P. Hollingsworth, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., received 

 third prize for a vase of eight peony-flowered, and also the same 

 prize for a vase of eight decorative. A vase of eight show or 

 fancy gave the first prize to Mrs. Frederick Allen, of Pelham 

 Manor, N. Y., James Linane, gardener, the second going to Mr. 

 Hollingsworth. Mrs. Allen also won first for a vase of eight 

 pompons, Mr. Hollingsworth second, and in the class for eight 

 single or collarette they were also competitors, with the same 

 result. 



The following special prizes were awarded: Mr. Hollings- 

 worth, for a display of asters, cash ; Herman Reindfleish, for a 

 new peony-flowered seedling, no. 12, honorable mention; Mr. F. 

 P. Quinby, of White Plains, N. Y., for yellow decorative seedling 

 no. 500, certificate of merit; John Scheepers, Inc., for ever- 

 bearing raspberry, silver medal ; Mrs. Chas. H. Stout, Short 

 Hills, N. J., for seedling of Sunshine, honorable mention, for 

 vase of Gertrude, certificate of merit ; John Lewis Childs, Flower-
