Carnations at Cornell. 



The horticultural department of Cor- 

 nell University held its fourth annual 

 carnation exhibition March 4 to 6. The 

 exhibit was in charge of the students in 

 floriculture, who managed, staged, and 

 judged the blooms. The exhibit was 

 purely for educational purposes and no 

 prizes were oflFered. However, many 

 growers took advantage of the oppor- 

 tunity to place their stock before a class 

 of interested students. 



The exhibition was well advertised 

 about the city and many visitors were 

 present during the three days. After the 

 exhibition the blooms were put to good 

 use by the students, in packing demon- 

 strations, design making, etc. At the 

 weekly meeting of the Horticultural Club 

 (Lazy Club) carnations were the subject 

 of discussion. An interesting talk on 

 carnation breeding was given by Dr. 

 Weber, and the varieties, from a com- 

 mercial point of view, were discussed by 

 L. D. Batchelor. 



Among the exhibitors were C. W. 

 Ward, whose two winners at the Wash- 

 ington show, Mrs. C. W. Ward and Alma 

 Ward, caused a great deal of comment 

 and expressions of admiration from the 

 visitors. His President and Beacon also 

 showed excellent growing. 



B. Witterstaetter, of Cincinnati, ex- 

 hibited Afterglow, which showed up well. 



The new scarlet variety, Andrew Car- 

 negie, was exhibited by the Chicago Car- 

 nation Co. The blooms made a fine 

 showing and were much admired by the 

 visitors. 



F. B. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, sent a 

 very creditable exhibit of Variegated 

 Lawson, Enchantress, Winsor, Beacon, 

 and Bed Lawson. 



The horticultural department of New 

 Hampshire College exhibited an interest- 

 ing lot of seedlings with their pedigrees 

 attached. Many of these give promise 

 of becoming good commercial varieties. 

 They made a creditable showing for the 

 plant breeding department of that insti- 

 tution. 



John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa.j ex- 

 hibited a fine lot of blooms. Among 

 them were Pink Imperial and Variegated 

 Imperial, which showed a remarkable 

 stem and very durable bloom. His bright 

 scarlet variety, John E. Haines, White 

 Perfection and light pink seedling No. 

 102, made an especially creditable show- 

 ing. 



Paul Thomson, of West Hartford, 

 Conn., exhibited a yellow variety, Nep- 

 tune, which attracted a great deal of 

 attention as being the only yellow variety 

 exhibited. 



Jas. E.' Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., 

 exhibited Harvard in excellent form. 



Frank H. Kimberly, New Haven, 

 Conn., staged Enchantress and White 

 Enchantress, also Marie Louise violets. 



Among the varieties exhibited by the 

 horticultural department of Cornell were 

 Harlowarden and Mrs. Lawson.
