NEW HAVEN, CONN. 



Horticultural Society Show. 



The eighty-third annual flower show 

 of the New Haven County Horticul- 

 tural Society, held September 16 and 

 17, brought out the usual large number 

 of exhibitors. There was one thing 

 particularly commented on by the visi- 

 tors, the artistic staging of . the en- 

 tries. It was apparent that exhibitors 

 had given time and thought to the ar- 

 rangement of their exhibits, for there 

 was little of that sameness of display 

 which characterizes so manj' flower 

 shows. 



The exhibits, entered by both pro- 

 fessionals and amateurs, consisted of 

 dahlias of numerous varieties, asters, 

 gladioli, roses, cosmos, palms and 

 ferns. 



The judges of the show were Maurice 

 Fuld, vice-president of the Knight & 

 Struck Co., of New York city; L. W. 

 Tingeley, of New London, and A. L. 

 Church, of Ansonia. 



Among the trade winners were W. 

 Jost, dahlia grower, of East Haven; 

 P. W. Popp, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., 

 John Slocombe, of New Haven, and 

 John Lewis Childs, Inc., of Flowerfield, 

 N. Y. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, 

 Conn., showed five varieties of roses 

 and six varieties of phloxes. John 

 Lewis Childs, Inc., showed eighty large 

 vases of gladioli, each vase containing 

 a different variety. 



The largest display of the show was 

 that of John Slocombe, of 555 Town- 

 send avenue. New Haven. In addi- 

 tion to winning many first awards, 

 Mr. Slocombe received a certificate of 

 merit for a new dahlia, not introduced 

 prior to 1913, and an award of recogni- 

 tion for a new seedling dahlia. 



ROCHESTER, N. H. 



At the Kochester fair, September 21 

 to 24, the floral court was as attrac- 

 tive as ever, thanks to the good work 

 done by Frank I. Shorey, superintend- 

 ent of this department. Dahlias were 

 shown in great numbers by J. K. Alex- 

 ander and W. P. Lothrop, East Bridge- 

 water, Mass.; Mrs. S. H. Walker and 

 others. Gladioli were splendidly shown 

 by H. E. Meader, Dover, N. H., who 

 also captured many prizes for designs, 

 carnations, roses, etc., and by J. K. 

 Alexander. W. H. Elliott, from Mad- 

 bury, N. H., had an excellent display 

 of roses in large variety. The sweet 

 peas of Mrs. Ellen Trask Roberts, 

 Alton, N, H., were remarkable for the 

 last half of September. W. N. Craig, 

 Brookline, Mass., oflBciated as judge.
