NEW YOEK. 



The exhibition of the Horticultural 

 Society of New York, which opened at 

 the American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory, in New York city, October 31, 

 continuing to November 4, early gave 

 evidence that it would prove a record- 

 breaker in the matter of attendance. 

 No admission fee is charged at the 

 museum. Sunday afternoon of course 

 saw the greatest crush. From 1 p. m. 

 to 3:45 over 60,000 had entered and 

 the line of people, four abreast, reached 

 to Eighth avenue. The attendance for 

 the five days was approximately 200,- 

 000. 



The weather was perfect and the ex- 

 hibits worthy of the wide apprecia- 

 tion they received. The great fea- 

 tures of the show were the magnificent 

 chrysanthemum plants displayed by 

 John Canning, gardener for Adolph 

 Lewisohn, and W. H. Waite, gardener 

 for Samuel Untermyer. No such plants 

 have ever been seen in this country. 

 Some of them were eighteen feet in 

 diameter and carried over 2,000 per- 

 fect blooms. The fern display of the 

 F. B. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, was 

 large and included every variety of 

 nephrolepis the Pierson establishment 

 has introduced. W. A. Manda had a 

 fine exhibit of his new ferns and other 

 plant novelties. Steinhart & Kelley 

 staged a great assortment of fruits. 

 George Giatras had a fine exhibit of his 

 new fern, New York, which appears to 

 be a decided acquisition to the fern 

 family. Joseph A. Manda was the 

 efficient manager of the show and also 

 had a fine prize assortment of orchids 

 in competition. The entire orchid ex- 

 hibit was the best ever gathered by 

 this society,' The Julius Roehrs Co., 

 Lager & Hurrell, Clement Moore. 

 Joseph A. Manda, W. H. Waite "atfd 

 Mrs. Henry Graves were the principal 

 orchid exhibitors. 



The only retail florist who had the 

 enterprise to exhibit samples of his 

 handiwork was Max Schling, whose 

 baskets and uniqne groupings elicited 

 much favorable comment. , 



The new rose, Killarney Brilliant, 

 appears to be a winner and well 

 named. Noe's American Beauties were 

 superb. In fact, all the roses were 

 most creditable and all the new ones 

 especially admired.
