AMHEBST, MASS. 



The annual chrysanthemum exhibi- 

 tion at Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege was held on Saturday, October 26, 

 and was the most successful ever given. 



The college exhibited specimen 

 blooms of many of the new varieties, 

 which were cut, labeled and staged by 

 members of the senior class. 



The members of the junior class 

 gave an exhibition of table decorations, 

 using chrysanthemums for the flowers 

 and autumn foliage, ferns, smilax and 

 asparagus as accessories. There were 

 sixteen tables entered in the competi- 

 tion and these were arranged with 

 more taste and skill than any previ- 

 ously shown. Three prizes were given; 

 a copy of Scott 's Manual, valued at $5, 

 for first prize, a cash prize of $3 for 

 second and $2 for third. The first prize 

 was awarded to Miss L. E. Bates, of 

 Kingston; the second to H. W. Levine, 

 of Boxbury, and the third to Miss 

 S. J. Strange, of Marshfield. The first 

 prize table was of Peter Pan chrysan- 



themums and smilax; the second, a 

 tall vase of four large Rose Pockett 

 chrysanthemums set in a brass jardi- 

 niere filled with Peter Pan chrysanthe- 

 mums and Whitmani fern; the third, 

 a table of Miss Mary Pope chrysanthe- 

 mums and smilax. 



Besides the varieties exhibited by 

 the Agricultural College, A. N. Pierson, 

 Inc., of Cromwell, Conn., sent several 

 vases of chrysanthemums and a vase 

 of Milady roses. C. H. Totty, of Madi 

 son, N. J., sent a large number of single 

 chrysanthemums and a vase of his new 

 rose, Mrs. Shawyer. 



The past year has been the most suc- 

 cessful in the history of the floricul- 

 tural work at the college. Of the six 

 men completing the work in June, two 

 are with A, N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, 

 Conn.; one is in charge of a commercial 

 range in Kingston, Mass.; one is in- 

 structor in floriculture at the Pennsyl- 

 vania State College; one is with 

 Thomas Galvin, Inc., at the Tremont 

 street store, Boston, and one has re- 

 turned to college for ftirther work. A 

 graduate of the department two years 

 ago has just accepted an instructor- 

 ship at Cornell. The present senior 

 class numbers nine and the junior class 

 sixteen. In addition, thirty-eight are 

 taking the plant material course.

The autumn show of the Yonkers Hor- 

 ticultural Society was a fine success. 

 Louis Milliott was manager. The 

 Yonkers Nursery Co. sent many speci- 

 men palms for decorative effect, the 

 armory giving ample space for display. 

 The mums were fully up to the quality 

 seen at any of the fall exhibitions. 



C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., showed 

 his new rose, Mrs. George Shawyer, 

 and a selection of new mums, big and 

 little. Scott Bros., of Elmsford, N. Y., 

 staged Wm. Eccles carnation. Julius 

 Roehrs Co. had a fine display of or- 

 chids and stove and blooming plants in 

 variety. Henry A. Dreer, presented by 

 John S. Hay, staged the new glory fern, 

 Adiantum Farleyense gloriosa, which 

 promises to be a popular acquisition. 



Among the principal exhibitors and 

 prize winners among the nearby gar- 

 deners and growers were W. H. Waite, 

 W. C. Roberts, Robert Angus, Howard 

 Nichols, P. W. Popp, the Fairview Gar- 

 den School, John Canning, R. L. Cush- 

 man, Wm. Wright, Thos. A. Lee, A. 

 McDonald, Ed Kane, W. J. Seely, H.

 pied the center of the armory.
