 class for a display of cut roses covering 

 300 square feet and containing not less 

 than 500 nor more than 1,000 blooms, 

 decorative green of any kind, including 

 plants, to be permitted, and general ef- 

 fect to be considered in making award. 

 There were two entries, one by the F. P. 

 Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., and the 

 other by Traendly & Schenck, Roway- 

 ton, Conn., and New York. The groups 



were closely judged, decision only being 

 arrived at after the deepest considera- 

 tion. Both displays were most artistic, 

 and both exhibitors had gone the limit 

 as to quantity. The judges awarded 

 first prize to Traendly & Schenck and 

 second to the F. R. Pierson Co.

 roses were as follows:

Orchid Section Not Strong. 



The orchid section was poor at this 

 show, evidently not having the sup- 

 port of commercial growers it formerly 

 enjoyed. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson had 

 consented to name a new orchid, and 

 sent a card, which was attached to a 

 fine brasso-cattleya originated by the 

 Joseph A. Manda Co., West Orange, 

 X. J., which is now to become known
