The blue ribbon in the class for six vari- 

 eties of five each was carried off by 

 Merza, white; Mary Mason, pink; Chel- 

 toni, lemon yellow; Beatrice May, white; 

 Glenview, bronze red, and Mrs. Wm. 

 Duckhani, yellow. Among the other va- 

 rieties of unusual merit were Mrs. F. B. 

 Vallis, yellow; Eeginald Vallis, rose red; 

 Mrs. F. Partridge, red, and Merstham, 

 crimson. 



Opposite these fancy blooms was a 

 table filled by four or five exhibitors with 

 hardy chrysanthemums. One exhibit, pos- 

 sibly the smallest, was of unwonted in- 

 terest, recalling, as it did, a one-time 

 large exhibitor who saved his family's 

 name at the price of fortune. Before 

 leaving this section, let me add that Mrs. 

 J. C. Neil was crowned the finest tiower 

 in the exhibition, and that William 

 Kleinheinz and William Robertson, with 

 many more, covered themselves with 

 glory. . 



Downstairs, on the left of the stairuiiy, 

 Henry A. Dreer had lawn grasses pret- 

 tily arranged. William Robertson caj)- 

 tured a certificate of merit with a pure 

 white sport from Cheltoni. The Henry 

 F. Michell Co. displayed its bulbs elec- 

 trically, enhanced with an art that spoke 

 plainly of Philip Freud. Opposite, the 

 Scientific Sprayer Co. displayed com- 

 pounds that tree-borers consider of un- 

 rivaled nastiness. Henry F. Fitzgerald, 

 from the firm's laboratory, was in 

 charge. 



In the lower hall Thomas Meehan & 

 Sons had a table of hardy pompons of 

 the best varieties. Edward Matthews was 

 in charge of this exhibit. In the center 

 of their table was a silver cup which 

 they offered for the best collection of 

 pompons; it was won by Wm. Robertson. 

 Next came the brilliant Israel Rosnosky, 

 in charge of Henry F. Michell Co.'s ex- 

 hibit of every requisite. 



Richard Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., 

 White Marsh, Md., had 100 varieties of 

 pompons, a beautiful collection, probably 

 twenty-five of them their own seedlings, 

 including No. 45, shell pink; No. 7, yel- 

 low, fringed apricot, and No. 51, yellow 

 anemone. Charles A. Goudy, of Henry 

 F, Michell Co., was in charge. 



A choice colle<!tion of hardy chrysan- 

 themums from Henry A. Dreer came next, 

 the table being finished with the cactus 

 exhibit brought over by Mr. Eisele and 

 here shown for the first time. The same 

 exhibitors had a full line of gardeners' 

 necessaries close by, embellished by mam- 

 moth pumpkins with the name of each 

 variety cut in the fruit while growing. 

 John S. Hay was in charge. 



Hosea Waterer followed with mush-

 season of the year. 



The vegetable displays for the Burpee, 

 Dreer and Michell prizes were excellent. 

 An improvement is shown in the fuller 

 exhibits, due to the larger number of 

 varieties called for in each class.
