were of high quality. Mr. Totty was 

 first for twenty-five crimson, with 

 Hoosier Beauty; twenty-five yellow, 

 with Gertrude Hale; twenty-five pink, 

 with Ophelia; twenty-five any other 

 color, with Francis Scott Key. L. A. 

 Noe, Madison, N. J., was first for twen- 

 ty-five American Beauty and twenty- 

 five white, with White Killarney, and 

 also was a prize-winner in several other 

 classes. Wm. Lackay, superintendent 

 for Daniel Guggenheim, Elberon, N. J., 

 exhibited some fine Badiance and 

 Ophelia. William Vert scored first in 

 ». the white, pink and crimson classes 

 calling for fifteen blooms each. 



In the new roses Mr. Totty exhibited 

 Lillian Moore, a new yellow; Primrose, 

 a bronzy yellow; Nellie Parker, an im- 

 proved Ophelia in color though bearing 

 no relation to Ophelia. E. G. Hill Co., 

 Richmond, Ind., sent a vase of its new 

 red rose and A. N. Pierson, Inc., showed 

 Mme. CoUette Martinette and Titiana, 

 a small deep pink. 



Max Schling, New York, was on hand 

 as usual with an artistic arrangement 

 of bronze and crimson mums inter- 

 spersed with autumn foliage. 



In the carnation classes Thos. Wilson, 

 superintendent for Mrs. Erhart, Cedar- 

 hurst, N. Y.; Robt. Grunert, superintend- 

 ent for W. E. Beiss, Greenwich, Conn,, 

 and George Ferguson, were awarded 

 prizes, Mrs. Ward, Yellow Prince, 

 Matchless, White Wonder and Beacon 

 being the principal varieties exhibited. 

 Charles Stanley, Plainfield, N. J., was 

 also a large exhibitor in the carnation 

 classes. 



There were five entries in the compe- 

 tition calling for twelve 'varieties. 

 Bobert Tyson scored first with a won- 

 derful collection on black velvet. Jos. 

 Bobinson, superintendent for Mrs. 

 Henry A. Coe, Oyster Bay, N. Y., won 

 second. 



In the fruit classes the entries were 

 numerous and attractive. 



Taken altogether the show was a mag- 

 nificent spectacle and attracted a large 

 crowd, as the weather was ideal and 

 the location of the show, at Thirty-ninth 

 street, convenient to reach from all 

 quarters of the city. 



THE MUSEUM SHOW. 



New York's Greatest. 



The Horticultural Society of New 

 York held its annual autumn exhibition 

 November 9 to 12, at the American 

 Museum of Natural History, and se- 

 cured an attendance of over 200,000 

 people, admission being free. It was 

 by far the best show ever made by this 

 society. Last year the total attendance 

 was 194,024, at that time a record 

 figure. 



As in other years, the great drawing 

 card of the show was the exhibit of 

 the immense bush chrysanthemums by 

 John CanniAg. The best plants were 

 B, F. Felton, Lady Lydia, Wells' Late 

 Pink, Eloise Scovell and Greystone. 



The crowd was kept moving to the 

 right and thus all confusion was 

 avoided. The exhibits filled all avail- 

 able space on the ground floor of the 

 immense museum. Albert M a n d a 

 proved one of the ablest managers the 

 society has ever had the good fortune 

 to secure. 



The Jplius Roehrs Co. had a beauti- 

 ful exhibit of greenhouse plants in 100 

 Tarieties, artistically arranged. C. H. 



Big Mum Plants at the Entrance to the Show^ in the Museum. 



Totty had a large collection of hardy 

 and single mums and in Louise Pockett 

 and Rigby had some of the largest 

 blooms ever shown. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., had a fine ex- 

 hibit of single and hardy mums. 



The retailers were conspicuous by 

 their absence and the society seems to 

 think it unnecessary to secure their at- 

 tendance^
