 as Madonna, Latonia, Eose Gem, Maude 

 Adams, American Beauty and Mina Bur- 

 gle. Mr. Cogger is exhibiting at the 

 New York state fair this week. 



Charles W. Curtis had a fine display 

 of flowers and plants. He exhibited 

 good specimen plants of coleus and be- 

 gonias. One good-sized orchid plant 

 showed several blooms. The window 

 boxes filled with ferns and begonias 

 were attractive. Excellent zinnias, 

 lemon marigolds, asters and several large 

 vases of gladioli completed this exhibit. 



L. T. Bryant, of Newark, N. Y., had 

 a good collection of between fifty and 

 sixty varieties of gladioli. Of these 

 three new varieties were greatly ad- 

 mired, Liebesfeuer, Golden Measure and 

 Negerfucrst. Good vases of statice in 

 lavender and white were seen, as well 

 as a good quantity of bittersweet, which 

 was bung in the background. 



Vick's Fine Collection. 



James Vick's Sons had a splendid col- 

 lection of annuals and perennials, well 

 arranged, which occupied considerable 

 space. Their usual display of cut flow- 

 ers included, in part, Crego asters, zin- 

 nias, candytuft, montbretias, lilies, mari- 

 golds, hydrangeas, spira;as, mignonette, 

 gaillardia, coreopsis, helianthus, cosmos 

 and Hyacinthus candicans. In gladioli. 

 King George, Prince of Wales, Willy 

 Wigman and Attraction were worthy of 

 mention. A large bed of cherries had 

 for background Amarantus Sunrise and 

 Amarantus Sunset. The latter is new 

 this year and is well colored in yellow 

 and red. Their new aster, Peerless Yel- 

 low, was accepted as quite good. Some 

 fine dahlias were seen here, among them 

 being Darkness, a wonderful flower, rich 

 in its dark, velvety shades. 



Hans Miiller, of Pittsford, N. Y., 

 made an exquisite bed of cockscomb, 

 ("elosia cristata, in wliich tliere were 

 many beautiful shadings in red and yel- 

 low. , -lBi[ 



H. B. Schell liad an exceedingly good 

 collection of gladioli, in which Mary 

 Pickford, American Beauty, Germa, 

 Flora, Pink Perfection, Liebesfeuer, In- 

 dependence and Frank Pciullcton were 

 fe.'iturcd. His dahlias were also quite 

 godd, aiiumg them being Jack Rose, 

 Mina Burgle, Morning Star, (^ueen Wil- 

 hc'lmina and Fashion. 



Harold D. Phelps, lnndscaj)e architect 

 of the Pinnacle Garden Shop, prepared 

 a fine grouping of shrubbery and ever- 

 greens. A brick walk, rustic furniture, 

 and boxes of brick, red geraniums and 

 small ferns were well arranged. 



Not only were flowers seen in the 

 floral hall, but literally all over the 

 grounds. Large and small baskets of 

 flowers were used to decorate the booths. 

 In the paddock gladioli and asters were 

 used extensively on the lower and higher 

 jumps and other convenient spaces. Rec- 

 ord-breaking crowds attended this year, 

 the weather remaining ideal throughout 

 the whole period. H. J. H.
