ler's Morning Glow also received hon- 

 orable mention. It is not large but of 

 a charming color, 



Edward MacMulkin received first for 

 the best decorated fruit table. The Bos- 

 ton Market Gardeners' Association had 

 a fine display of choice vegetables. T. 

 J. Grey Co. received the silver medal 

 for the finest seedsman's display of veg- 

 etables. It included over 125 varieties 

 and was thoroughly representative. 



The one disappointing feature of the 

 show was the absence of roses. Good 

 money prizes were offered, but not a 

 solitary vase was shown in competition 

 at a time when all are bemoaning the 

 fact that roses are hard to move and are 

 selling at the lowest prices ever known 

 in Boston at this season.

American Institute Show. 



The eighty-third annual show of the 

 American Institute was held November 

 4 to 6 in the Engineering building. 

 There was plenty of room for the ex- 

 hibits, and the arrangement added 

 much to the charming effect. 



Chas. H. Totty's exhibits were to 

 the fore in attracting attention and 

 winning blue ribbons. His two new 

 roses, White Shawyer and Mrs. Thomp- 

 son, were much admired. His chrysan- 

 themums, as well as those of a number 

 of gardeners from private estates, were 

 noteworthy. He received special prizes 

 for his hardy seedling, single and new 

 varieties. 



The displays of orchids by Lager & 

 Hurrell, of Summit, N. J., and the 

 Julius Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, N. J., 

 fully maintained the exhibitors' high 

 standards. John Lewis Childs, of 

 Flowerfield, N. Y., showed his new 

 celosia, for which he received a special 

 award. A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, 



play he received a special award from 

 the judges. 



The Commercial Awards. 



The quality of the competitive dis- 

 plays was high throughout. L. A. Noe, 

 of Madison, N. J., deserves mention for 

 his showing in the rose classes. The 

 awards to commercial growers were as 

 follows: t

LANCASTER, PA. 



First Show a Success. 



Lancaster 's first flower show was held 

 November 6 and 7 in the Hiemenz 

 Auditorium, under the auspices of the 

 Lancaster County Florists' Club, and 

 proved most successful. The attend- 

 ance was large throughout the show and 

 thousands expressed their pleasure and 

 surprise at the wonderful array of 

 chrysanthemums. R. Vincent, Jr., of 

 White Marsh, Md., was present and 

 pronounced the show one of the most 

 enjoyable he had attended this autumn 

 and enlarged on the artistic arrange- 

 ment and quality of the exhibits. The 

 formal garden arranged in the lower 

 part of the building by B. F. Barr & Co. 

 was beautiful. The beds were planted 

 with hardy mums and edged with sod. 

 Beautiful beds of Scarlet Bedder gera- 

 niums planted by Rudolph Nagel were 

 quite effective. T. J. Nolan, for the 

 King Construction Co., erected a green- 

 house 10x35, in which a bench was 

 filled with begonias grown by E. P. 

 Hostetter, of Manheim, and also the 

 amateur entries in the plant classes. 

 Ira H. Landis, of Paradise; Elmer and 

 Charles M. Weaver, of Ronks; Amos N. 

 Rohier, of Strasburg; H. B. Weaver, of 

 Bird-iu-Hand; W. B. Girvin, of Leola; 

 .1. Ira Ranck and Walter Denlinger, of 

 Vintage; E. P. Hostetter, M. H. Hos- 

 tetter and P. S. Hostetter, of Manheim; 

 Frank L, Kohr, John R. Shriner, Frank 

 A. Suter, L. S. Landis, Rudolph Nagel 

 and A. M. Herr, of Lancaster, had 

 highly creditable displays of their re- 

 spective specialties in cut flowers. 



Maurice J. Brinton, of Christiana, 

 showed a table of Lilium magnificura 

 and Scholzcli ferns. H. D. Rohrer 

 staged fifty varieties of large-flowered 

 chrysanthemums, specimen blooms in 

 single vases, and was awarded a spe- 

 cial prize of $25 by Lord & Burnham 

 Co. His vase of Wm. Turner mums 

 were of remarkable size. 



E. F. Campbell, of Marietta, showed 

 Appleton mums of superior culture. A. 



F. Strickler, of Willow street, showed 

 twenty-five varieties of outdoor pom- 

 pons, which were wonderfully fine. 



Retail Exhibits. 



The retail exhibits were attractively 

 arranged. H. A. Schroyer's table deco- 

 ration was of the highest order. Geo. 



G. Goldbach 's exhibit was fine and 

 showed marked ability and taste. The 

 exhibit of B. F. Barr & Co., arranged 

 by Chas. F. Edgar, was a most inter- 

 esting one. Two table decorations, one 

 a 3-leaf clover and the other a 4-leaf 

 clover, were up to the minute. Their
