PHILADELPHIA. 



As reported last week, the attendance 

 at the opening of the exhibition was 

 gratifying. It continued in the second, 

 third and fourth days. The crowds were 

 large and appreciative, fully justifying 

 all the hard work so freely given by 

 the management and the exhibitors. The 

 decorations and the arrangement of the 

 exhibits were in excellent taste. The 

 general quality of the material ex- 

 hibited was of a high order. Julius 

 Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, N. J., dis- 

 played decorative stock and nursery 

 suggestions. The Robert Craig Co. had 

 choice crotons, dracronas and early flow- 

 ering cyclamens. S. S. Pennock-Meehan 

 Co. exhibited florists' supplies and nov- 

 elties. William Tricker, Arlington, N. 

 J., had a new crimson chrysanthemum, 

 Arlington, and aquatics. 



Franklin Barrett showed wonderful 

 gold and other fish. Charles A. Goudy, 

 for Henry F. Michell Co., showed a 

 choice assortment of hardy chrysan- 

 themums. Alphonse Pericat, of Colling- 

 dale. Pa., had fine orchids and a new 

 ficus of good habit. 



Edward A. Stroud's sister painted a 

 Japanese garden scene as a background 

 for his Japanese garden. 



The private gardeners put up some 

 magnificent stock in all the classes, 

 forming the main strength of the show. 

 A yellow sport from William Turner and 

 a pretty sport from Morton F. Plant 



were interesting novelties. Dracaena 

 Longii, from Thomas Long, was a rare 

 novelty. 



The features of the rose exhibit were 

 the vases of Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty 

 from the E. G. Hill Co. Joseph Heacock 

 Co. exhibited fine Radiance and well- 

 colored Killarney and White Killarney. 

 There were good My Maryland and Lady 

 Alice Stanley, a novelty here. 



Pennock Bros, put up a beautiful table 

 containing hampers, baskets and vases 

 of exquisite form, filled with selected 

 stock. They used white lilacs, pompons. 

 Radiance and Lady Alice Stanley roses, 

 with dainty green. 



Myer Heller had a lovely little yellow 

 French polyantha rose effectively ar- 

 ranged in baskets. 



A word of praise must be given to 

 David Rust for his work as secretary, 

 and to William Graham and his able 

 corps of assistants for their handsome 

 decorations. Phil. 



LAKE GENEVA, WIS. 



The Lake Geneva Gardeners' and 

 Foremen's Association gave its tenth 

 annual chrysanthemum exhibition at 

 Horticultural hall, November 6 and 7. 

 The exhibits were practically all from 

 the private greenhouses of the neigh- 

 borhood, of which there are many. The 

 quality of the stock shown never was 

 better and the prizes were well dis- 

 tributed. 



A special feature of the show was the 

 staging of twelve groups, these serving 

 to make the exhibition one of the pret- 

 tiest in the history of the association. 

 Of exceptional excellence among the cut 

 mums were those of R. Blackwood and 

 J. Smith. Ferns and foliage plants of 

 splendid quality were brought by J. 

 Krupa, anemone and pompon mums by 

 W. P. Longland, carnations by A. John- 

 son, orchids by J. Smith and mums and 

 vegetables by A. Martin. Honorable 

 mention was given Wm. Tricker, Arling- 

 ton, N. J., for nymphffias, and C. H. Tot- 

 ty, Madison, N. J., for single and pom- 

 pon mums.

PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



»The' annual autumn exhibition of the 

 Rhode Island Horticultural Society 

 was held November 4 and 5 at the 

 Mathewson Street church and attracted 

 a large number of exhibitors and 

 flower lovers, who were unanimous in 

 the opinion that it eclipsed the eflforts 

 of the last several years. Chrysanthe- 

 mums formed the principal feature, al- 

 though carnations and roses found 

 prominent places. 



Burke & Burns were first in all the 

 rose classes except one, Macnair the 

 Florist being first on Ward. 



On carnations J. A. Macrae was first 

 on White Perfection, White Wonder, 

 Enchantress, Matchless and Champion, 

 the rest of the premiums being divided 

 between E. E. Howard, R. J. Taylor 

 and Maplehurst Greenhouses.
