NEW YORK'S TENTED SHOW. 



Few Trade Exhibitors. 



The "open air" flower show June 1 

 to 4 at the Bartow mansion, Pelham 

 Bay Fark, New York, under the auspices 

 of the International Garden Club, was 

 a gratifying success to those concerned, 

 although the number of exhibitors was 

 less than one would have supposed in 

 view of the extremely liberal premiums, 

 aggregating $3,250 in twenty-four com- 

 mercial classes. The attendance, how- 

 ever, was ahead of expectations and 

 most encouraging to the originators of 

 the project. 



A more beautiful park than Pelham 

 Bay, and a finer mansion than the 

 Bartow it would be hard to find. The 

 weather was ideal. The show was 

 staged in and around a large tent. The 

 first day of the show the admission 

 was $5, an innovation in values that 

 met with the anticipated recognition of 

 "The Four Hundred." In fact, there 

 were close to 400 autos on the grounds 

 and the cream of New York's society 

 circles attended. The admission was $1 

 the second day and 50 cents the third 

 day, while the grounds, mansion and 

 flower show were all free to the public 

 on Sunday. 



Arthur Herrington was manager of 

 the show, assisted by H. A. Bunyard 

 and J. H. Pepper. The schedule was 

 arranged by a committee of the trade 

 consisting of Harry A. Bunyard, chair- 

 man; F. L. Atkins, Leonard Barron, 

 John Canning, W. H. Duckham, M. C. 

 Ebel, Benjamin Hammond, I. S. Hen- 

 drickson, John E. Lager, W. A. Manda, 

 F. R. Pierson, Wallace E. Pierson, P. W. 

 Popp, Julius Roehrs, George E. M. 

 Stumpp, Charles H. Totty, David Ward 

 and J. Harrison Dick, secretary. The 

 prospectus said the affair had the "co- 

 operation "of some twenty trade and 

 gardening societies, and of many lead- 

 ing firms, naming them, but there were 

 only seven trade exhibitors for the 

 $3,250 in prizes, and only about as 

 many private gardeners and amateurs.

The judges were C. H. Totty, chair- 

 man; F. H. Traendly, A. T. Bunyard,

S HRAP NTE 



ahent, Belgium.— Mails from neutral 

 countries are slowly trickling through 

 the double censorship, British and Ger- 

 man, but in many cases delivery was 

 so delayed that shipment of stock was 

 impossible. In spite of the proximity 

 of the fighting front, conditions usually 

 are quiet here and nursery stock is be- 

 ing produced in greater volume than 

 necessary to fill orders with many mar- 

 kets closed and transportation chaotic. 



Newtownards, Ireland.— Alex. Dick- 

 son & Sons, (Ltd., have a new rose called 

 Climbing Irish Fireflame, of which it 

 is said: "In all respects, excepting 

 growth, identical with the normal type, 

 from which it originated with us three 

 years ago. The growth is vigorous and 

 of true climbing habit. This will prove 

 a most valuable and important addition 

 to the climbing section; one that is 

 certain to be much in demand." It will 

 be sent out this year. 



Haarlem, Holland. — Much interest is 

 taken here in the colored freesias devel- 

 oped in America. Several growers in 

 various parts of Holland and in south- 

 ern France had been working on bright- 

 hued freesias prior to the war, but re- 

 ports from travelers who have seen the 

 Fischer and Frey stock in America in- 

 dicate Europe has not equaled their 

 results. 



Hamburg, Germany. — The areas of 

 valley pips in the district east of this 

 city that has produced the greater part 

 of the world's supply are considerably 

 reduced this year. The difficulty of ex- 

 porting last season's crop, with the 

 prospect of still greater obstacles next 

 season if the war continues, has re- 

 sulted in food crops being planted in- 

 stead of valley. The pips are grown 

 in small areas by a large number of 

 gardeners, who sell the crop to a dealer 

 before harvest.
