THE AUTUMN 



EXHIBITIONS 



MADISON, N. J. 



The thirteenth annual show of the 

 Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Society opened October 29, and the hoo- 

 doo seemed to be working overtime, for 

 the weather was vile. However, the 

 weather the second day was much Jaetter 

 and thfe average attendance* will figure 

 up about as usual. ^ 



This show, as a whole, was the finest 

 this progressive society has ever put up, 

 and, considering that the weather was 

 so bad, the quality of the chrysan- 

 themums was a great surprise. 



The finest vase in the show was the 

 vase of the new chrysanthemum, Mrs. 

 O. H. Kahn, a beautiful bronze variety, 

 set up by Charles H. Totty. This variety 

 has already been certificated by the C. 

 S. A., on both the exhibition and com- 

 mercial scale, and must be classed as one 

 pf the beet of the year. 



Other fine . exhibits in mum novelties 

 'were: C. H. Totty, a magnificent bronzy 

 red; Pockett's Crimson, the best thing 

 in its color we ever saw; Mrs. Charles H. 

 Totty, a beautiful pink; Pockett's Sur- 

 prise, a splendid red, and Clara Wells, a 

 Ijeautiful incurved yellow. 



James Fraser, superintendent for O. 

 H. Kahn, Morristown, N. J., staged some 

 . wonderful flowers of W. Duckham and 

 Clay Frick. This exhibitor took eight 

 first prizes in mums and the vegetable 

 prizes were all his. The new chrysan- 

 themum, Mrs. O. H. Kahn, is named for 

 his employer, and that the selection of 

 the name was a popular one in this sec- 

 tion goes without saying. 



The prize for the largest flower in the 

 show was awarded to A. Herrington for 

 a splendid example of Lady Hopetoun.

LENOX, MASS. 



The town hall, Lenox, proved entirely 

 too small for the magnificent show held 

 in it by the Lenox Horticultural Society 

 October 28 and 29, All exhibits were 

 of a superior quality and the arrange- 

 ment of the same reflected the greatest 

 credit on the committee in charge. Cut 

 chrysanthemums were, as usual, the star 

 feature, the display of these being mag- 

 nificent, and it is doubtful if finer flowers 

 will be staged at any show in America. 

 Thomas Proctor, gardener to S. W. Pat- 

 erson, carried off ten first prizes, all the 

 newest varieties being included in his 

 collection. Mr. Proctor will take some 

 of his blooms to the national show, where 

 they should cause a sensation if staged in 

 good condition. Competition was keen in 

 all the chrysanthemum classes, some of 

 the other successful exhibitors being 



Chrysanthemum Mrs. O. H. Kahn.
