PHILADELPHIA. 



The annual fall show of the Penn- 

 sylvania Horticultural Society opened 

 in Horticultural hall November 3. It 

 is a fine display, especially of chrysan- 

 themum plants and cut blooms. A 

 curious feature is the predominance of 



white. Possibly the variety Williaiii 

 Turner has something to do with this;. 

 The Turners are fine, but there aro 

 lots of other good whites, so that it is 

 a show of silver and green, with relie\ 

 ing bunches of color everywhere. 



The show piece in the center of tht 

 hall is a wonderful cork bark tree ar- 

 ranged by William Kleinheinz, with 

 heavily flowered oncidiums above and 

 gorgeous cattieyas beneath, with choice 

 ferns and electric lights galore. It 

 reaches to the chandelier and is, in- 

 deed, the center of attraction. 



The stage was filled by Henry A. 

 Dreer, with a choice selection of stove 

 and foliage plants beautifully arranged. 

 Phoenix Roebelenii, Cocos Weddelliana, 

 Pandanus Veitchii and many more are 

 there in perfect form. Louis Burke 

 brought his case of rare orchids and hi« 

 orchid picture. Opposite him W. Atlee 

 Burpee & Co. have a display of gla- 

 dioli, about 150 blooms in a dozen 

 varieties, and pompon chrysanthemums. 

 Just think of it! Gladioli from seed 

 sown this year and one week after a 

 killing frost! They do things at Ford- 

 hook. 



Dracaena Lowgii, a green and white 

 stemmed and foliaged plant of extraor- 

 dinary marking, is the foliage plant 

 sensation of the show, while in chrys- 

 anthemums D, B. Crane is shown in 

 great form; two plants in perhaps 15- 

 inch pots, not over three feet high, six 

 feet spread and carrying over 100 good 

 sized blooms, are a treat to see. 



Downstairs Philip Freud staged an 

 elaborate display for Henry F. Michell 

 Co. It included an arbor, with plants, 

 flowers, bulbs and an aquarium. Oppo- 

 site him John S. Hay had a novel ex- 

 hibit for Henry A. Dreer, Inc. Hosea 

 Waterer and Thomas Meehan & Sons 

 also have attractive displays. 



The stairway is extremely handsome, 

 with groups of showy blooms and au- 

 tumn foliage. 



H. '^. Michell Co. also has a fine col- 

 lection of choice pompons. Last but 

 far from least in this brief descrip- 

 tion, Edward A. Stroud, of Straflford 

 Flower Farms, staged a Japanese gar- 

 den of pompon, single and anemone- 

 flowered chrysanthemums. The gem of 

 the collection is a novelty, Strafford, a 

 cross between Old Gold and Charles 

 Razer. Phil.
