HOLLYWOOD, CAL. 



The Hollywood chrysanthemum show 

 was such a success the first day that 

 it was decided to run it a second day 

 and the attendance was good right 

 through. The quantity and quality of 

 the stock shown were remarkable. 



Charles Winsel put up a pretty group 

 of plants and vines, arranged as a rus- 

 tic bower, which was attractive in the 

 extreme. Anton Soethout, of the 

 Hollywood Nurseries, and James Tay- 

 lor, superintendent at the Homer 

 Laughlin ranch, both put up good 

 groups. The Germain Seed & Plant Co. 

 had an attractive group of plants, cut 

 flowers and bulbs, the Silver Wedding 

 chrysanthemums shown by this firm 

 being easily the finest in the show. 

 The Bonnaffons were 'also good. How- 

 ard & Smith had aA exhibit of her- 



H. B. Jones.

baceous and other flowers, bulbs and 

 plants. The Los Angeles Flower Mar 

 ket staged fine cut flowers, as did Miss 

 Sadie Thomas, of Pasadena. Laurie's, 

 also of Pasadena, were there with a 

 nice exhibit of chrysanthemums. J. 

 Feldman put up good cut flowers and 

 Miss Brydges, of Hollywood, showed 

 some nice roses. 



Altogether it was a most successful 

 little show and reflected great credit 

 on James Taylor, who managed it, and 

 on the ladies who stood back of him 

 in the affair. Jos. McGilvray, J. Tay- 

 lor and E. D. Sturtevant were the 

 judges. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The annual chrysanthemum show of 

 the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 

 opened to the public November 4, in 

 Horticultural hall, Broad and Locust 

 streets, and was as fine as any of its 

 predecessors. The number and quality 

 of the chrysanthemum plants, the qual- 

 ity of the cut flowers of chrysanthe- 

 mums, the novelties, the orchids and 

 the staging for effect were all of ex- 

 tremely high order. The gardeners 

 made the show what it was, the flo- 

 rists adding to the variety and inter- 

 est. The main stairway contained some 

 superb specimen blooms of chrysanthe- 

 mums in tall vases that set it off beau- 

 tifully. The specimen plants were the 

 feature of the main hall, furnishing it 

 admirably. Henry A. Dreer, Inc., filled 

 the stage with a collection of foliage 

 plants illuminated by Japanese-lantern- 

 covered electric lights. Opposite Louis 

 Burk had his orchid case, filled even 

 more tastefully than of yore, with many 

 rare gems in air plant life. 



Chas. H. Totty exhibited many novel- 

 ties, including pompons, singles and a 

 fine big sport from My Maryland rose. 

 The Cottage Gardens Co. exhibited 

 Matchless in fine form. W. W. Scholtz, 

 of Charlotte, N. C, had a splendid 

 white carnation. John Nesbit's pink 

 and white snapdragons were extra fine. 



Downstairs, Harry S. Betz was on 

 one side, with an excellent arrangement 

 of choice plants, variegated pineapples, 

 dracaenas, ferns, etc. Adolph Muller, 

 on the opposite side, had a nice ar- 

 rangement of evergreens, etc. Henry 

 F. Michell Co. made two exhibits. One, 

 by Philip Freud, was a reproduction of 

 their Hallowe'en scene, with Japanese 

 lanterns, popcorn, bulbs, etc. This was 

 described as the most original scene of 

 this kind ever staged. The other, by 

 Charles A. Goudy, was bf hardy chrys- 

 anthemums in choice varieties, supple- 

 mented by a fine lot from Andalusia for 

 immediate effect. 



Anthony Waterer had charge of his 

 father's display of bulbs, which made 

 a brave showing. 



The store's exhibit of Henry A. Dreer 

 was well staged by Richard Rothe. 



Thomas Meehan & Sons put up a fine 

 pergola with ornamental evergreens and 

 vines. Edward J. Mathews was in 

 charge. 



Chrysanthemum Mrs. G. W. Childs 

 Drexel, pink, was much admired. 



A well staged display of rare gold- 

 fish from Franklin Barrett had a con- 

 spicuous position in the center of the 

 hall. Overbrook Gardens had an ex- 

 quisite exhibit of choice single and 

 nompon chrysanthemums, in garden 

 form, surrounded by a rustic fence. M. 

 A. Patten & Co., Tewksbury, Mass., 

 sent a fine vase of Princess Dagmar 

 carnations. William Kleinheinz ar-
