1914-15] REPORT OF JUDGE OF FLOWERS 27 



hollyhocks. Sweet peas w^ere also shown, but of medium 

 quality. The following week, however, sweet peas were 

 again extensively shown and of better quality. What 

 interested the visitors in this show most perhaps were the 

 table decorations of sweet peas. There were three tables 

 very tastefully arranged. 



Gladiolus and asters were the feature of the August 

 exhibitions ; the classes for these flowers w^ere well filled and 

 the flowers shown of a high standard. 



Exhibitions during September were notable for the fine 

 displays of dahlias, asters, scabiosa, phlox, lilies, and 

 especially the tuberous-rooted begonias. The class for 

 twenty vases cut flowers was well filled during this month 

 and the flowxrs shown of a high grade. 



The chrysanthemum show which opened Nov. 5th was 

 one of the best ever held by the society. Cut flowers of 

 chrysanthemums single and double, also roses and carna- 

 tions, w^ere very good. Some fine specimen chrysanthe- 

 mum plants w^ere also shown. Several groups of flower and 

 foliage plants were also exhibited and added much to the 

 exhibition. 



WILLIAM ANDERSON, 

 Judge of Plants and Flowers.
