Horticultural Society Show. 



The annual fall exhibition of the 

 Newport Horticultural Society waa the 

 biggest and best seen in this city in 

 many seasons. The big hall was com- 

 pletely filled with the pick of garden 

 and greenhouse products and large num- 

 bers of florists from out of the city 

 were in attendance to view the excel- 

 lent showing. Among the largest prize 

 winners was R. Livingston Beeckman, 

 John A, Urquhart, gardener, who car- 

 ried off the majority of the awards for 

 roses, ferns, fruits and vegetables. An-

 gardenias were the chief prize-winners 

 in their class. Sisson & Thurston, of

 various dahlia classes.

 silver and bronze medals offered for the 

 most meritorious exhibits in the show. 

 These were offered as additional prizes 

 for plants, as novelties, for superior 

 cultivation, or for arrangements. The 

 judgOB ^nally awarded the silver medal 

 to a handsome pot of Adiantum Far- 

 leyense gloriosa, a new variety of Far- 

 leyense fern with large leaves and 

 perfect cuttings, exhibited by Mr.

A Frank Statement 



HAVE YOU ever tried to 

 work in your office when 

 the masons were fixing 

 the ceiling, the carpenters repair- 

 ing the floor, and your steno- 

 grapher was pawing over the 

 papers on your desk trying to 

 find a "lost, strayed or stolen" 

 bill? 



If you have, you know exactly 

 what a tremendous handicap our 

 Irvington factory has been work- 

 ing under all this summer. We 

 simply had to double the size of 

 our factory. You growers made 

 us do it because you treated us 

 so liberally with your orders. 



To carry on our usual business, 

 take care of this year's increase, 

 and have first one department 

 and then another of the factory 

 all torn up or shifted about, has 

 been a problem which makes 



trying to work in your upset 

 office look likeu circle with the 

 rim knocked off. 



Very naturally some of our 

 orders have been a bit delayed. 

 Most of our customers have been 

 mighty nice about it; they recog- 

 nize that everythiug was not 

 always run on schedule time in 

 their own business. 



From now on, however, things 

 will run along smoothly and 

 deliveries will be made with a 

 promptness that wiU be particu- 

 larly pleasing to you all. Send 

 in your orders or have one of our 

 men come to see you. You can't 

 afford not to have L. & B. esti- 

 mate on any greenhouse job you 

 may have— not alone as to figures 

 but to have the knowledge that 

 behind those figures stands the 

 L. & B. guarantee.
