MADISON, N. J. 



The eighteenth annual flower show 

 of the Morris County Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Society was held in James 

 hall, Madison, N. J., October 28 and 

 29. The weather was splendid and the 

 show was well attended on both days. 

 This show is always noted for the high 

 quality of stock shown and this year 

 was no exception to the general rule. 

 The chrysanthemums, in common with 

 those in every other section of the 

 country, suflFered somewhat from the 

 warm, moist weather, and the growers 

 were all complaining of the losses they 

 had sustained this year. The roses 

 were, as usual, well represented, Shaw- 

 yer being the particular star of the ex- 

 hibition. Special interest was taken 

 in the Madison show this year on ac- 

 count of the fact that « vegetable prize 

 of $75, which is supposed to be the 

 largest premium ever offered for twelve 

 vegetables, was to be awarded, and this 

 was expected to draw exhibits from all 

 sections of the country. 



The stage in the hall was most beau- 

 tifully decorated by Chas. H. Totty, of 

 Madison, N. J., with a large collection 

 of singles in pots. These embraced all 

 the newest varieties and were arranged 

 in the form of a beautiful garden. The 

 popularity of single mums and the way 

 they were staged was attested by the 



fact that a crowd was always lined up 

 waiting to take a walk around the gar- 

 den. A gold medal was awarded for 

 this exhibit. 



In the class calling for thirty-six 

 blooms, six each of six varieties, Mrs. 

 D. "Willis James, Wm. Duckham, super- 

 intendent, of Madison, N. J., was first 

 and Chas. H. Totty, second. Mr. Duck- 

 ham staged Harry E. Converse, Lady 

 Hopetoun, Beatrice May, Pockett's 

 Crimson and W. Mease. C. H. Totty 

 staged F. S. Vallis, Ivy Gay, George 

 Lock and Eeginald Vallis. 



For eighteen flowers, three each of 

 six varieties, O. H. Kahn, Esq., James 

 Fraser, superintendent, Morristown, N. 

 J., received first. He had some beauti- 

 ful blooms of Mrs. Gilbert Drabble, 

 Mrs. H. Stevens and F. S. Vallis in 

 his exhibit. Mrs. G. E. Kissel, Percy 

 Whitney, superintendent, of Morris- 

 town, N. J., was second in this class, 

 and Dudley Olcott, Esq., Chas. Bar- 

 banes, superintendent, also of Morris- 

 town, was third. 



For twelve flowers, twelve varieties 

 in one vase. Dr. D. H. McAlpin, John 

 Downing, superintendent, of Morris 

 Plains, N. J., was first, with some splen- 

 did F. S. Vallis, Mary Farnsworth and 

 Mrs. David Syme. Mr. Fraser was 

 second with fine Alice Lemon, Con- 

 verse and Woodmason. Percy Whit- 

 ney scored third. This class was ex- 

 cellently competed for. 



For ten blooms any yellow variety, 

 John Downing scored first with Mrs. 

 Wm. Duckham, which seems to be un- 

 dergoing a process of rejuvenation this 

 year. Mrs. Paul Moore, Edw. Davies, 

 superintendent, Convent, N. J., was sec- 

 ond and Mrs. H. McK. Twombly, Eobt. 

 Tyson, superintendent, also of Con- 

 vent, N. J., was third. For ten blooms, 

 any white variety, John Downing, with 

 Beatrice May, won first prize, and 

 Glimpsewood Manor, H. P. Vyse, su- 

 perintendent, of Morristown, N. J., Was 

 second with the same variety. For ten 

 pink, Mr. Downing was awarded first 

 with Lady Hopetoun, and H. P. Vyse 

 second with Morton F. Plant. For ten 

 blooms, any other color, Bobt. Tyson, 

 who staged Eose Pockett, was awarded 

 first, and John Downing second, with 

 Mary Mason. The third prize in this 

 class was awarded to H. P. Vyse.
