THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK 



collections arranged for effect, while in the largest class, open to 

 al), Mrs. Herbert L. Pratt again took first prize, Miss Myra 

 Valentine second. 



The one exhibit of apples by a commercial grower is worthy of 

 xnention. This exhibit was one of the best in the Show and 

 consisted of a number of standard varieties, tastefully displayed. 

 It was put up by J. W. Weaver and Son, Highland, N. Y. 



Mrs. F. A. Constable's special display of Nerines attracted no 

 little attention, partly on account of the rarity of these bulbous 

 plants, which, as they come under the embargo of Quarantine 

 No. 37, are likely to be scarce for years. The collection was 

 awarded a special prize. 



The most novel exhibit of the Show, and one that attracted a 

 great deal of attention, was a very large and fine collection of 

 Celosias, by Mrs. W. D. Guthrie. The peculiar flowering, and 

 the odd and beautiful colors of these plants, kept a crowd around 

 them all the time. The display was awarded a special prize of a 

 silver cup.
