Hotel Table Decorations. 



One of the finest features of the ex- 

 hibition was the class calling for table 

 decorations by the New York hotels. 

 They were judged by a committee of 

 society women, and it must be stated 

 that their decision was an absolutely 

 correct one, according to all the experts 

 of floral art that looked over the deco- 

 rations. The Holland House was first, 

 with a light arrangement of acacia and 

 white Spencer sweet peas. 



The Hotel Astor had a heart-shaped 

 arrangement of roses, which was too 

 crowded for the size of the table. Del- 

 monico'a staged an arrangement of aca- 

 cia, with a tiny fountain in the center. 

 The Ritz-Carltou hotel had an elabo- 



rate effe(^, with^ lake in the .center 

 of the table, on which reclined a long 

 boat loaded with tiny roses. This was 

 a novelty that would;' have been award- 

 ed fiwt prize, in the ladies' opinion, 

 had the exhibitor refrained from plac- 

 ing ribbons down the sides of the table- 

 cloth. 



The awards were: 



Artistic dinner table decoration — Holhind 

 House, first ; Rltz-Carlton hotel, second. 



Special nrizes were awarded to hotels Biltmore, 

 Manhattan and St. Regis, and Delmonico's. 



Monday's Awards. 



In the violet classes staged March -11 

 only three prizes were awarded. In 

 the class for private gardeners calling 

 for 200 blooms of single violets. Max 

 Schneider was first and Frank Honey- 

 man second. C. F. Bahret, of Pough- 

 keepsie, N. Y., was the only commer- 

 cial grower to receive a prize. His 

 was for the best display covering ton 

 square feet, arranged for effect, of 

 singles. 



There w^re twelve entries in the class 

 for table decorations by private grow- 

 ers. John Canning's table of acacia 

 and Ward roses took first prize. E. M. 

 .Johnston was second. 



Trade ExUbits. 



The trade exhibits are an important 

 feature of the show this year, number- 

 ing over sixty; In the handling of these 

 exhibits the skill and experience of 

 Secretary Young was well shown. 



Schloss Bros., New York, had an ex- 

 hibit covering 200 feet of space, with 

 Emil Schloss in charge. Their heavy 

 gold ribbon and bow-knot and striped 

 chiffons were first among their many 

 novelties. 



The Coldwell Lawn Mower Co., New- 

 burgh, N. Y., showed a full line of hand 

 mowers and motor machines, and sev- 

 eral other of their specialties. 



The Mountain Community, Inc., New 

 York, exhibited decorative designs for 

 lawns, porches, etc. 



The Sharonware Work Shop, New 

 York, displayed porous cement pots, 

 jardinieres and window boxes.
