Boilers in Batterv 

 Save Fuel and Labor 



With a Battery you don't have to fire the whole 

 plant to get a little heat, ae you do with one big 

 boiler. With the boilers in battery you can fire as 

 many on the eystem as you need, and you get just 

 as much beat as you want— no more. A mighty 

 big saving of fuel and labor. The Hitchings boilers 

 are particularly adapted for this kind of heating. 



The Battery shown is heating the range of 

 Righter & Barton, the well-known growers at

flying colors for a large collection of 

 splendid blooms. Tlie cream consisted, 

 among the newer varieties, of Ivernia, 

 with a color described as crushed straw- 

 berry; Faunus, Mercury, Else, Country 

 Girl; Amos Perry, a flaming scarlet; J. 

 H. Jackson, black maroon, and Countess 

 of Lonsdale. These were among the 

 prize winners in the class for cactus. In 

 the shoAV class were Charles Lanier, Gold 

 Medal; Victor, wine color; Papa Char- 

 met, Jeannie Charmet, Mrs. Stuyvesant 

 Fish and Yellow Colossal, the latter meas- 

 uring nine inches across. 



The prize winner for the largest single 

 bloom entered for competition was Souv. 

 de Gustave Uoazon, a grand flower, 

 measuring eight inches in diameter, ex- 

 hibited by John Galvin, a popular mem- 

 ber of the society and a veteran horti- 

 culturist. 



N. Harold Cottam, the genial secretary 

 and master of ceremonies, had an excel- 

 lent display and keeps everyone each 

 year on the qui vive as to what is coming 

 next in the form of novelty in both plants 

 and flowers. 



Wm. E. Doxie exhibited a novelty in 

 the form of a helianthus with thirty 

 blooms on one stalk, perfect blooms, 

 equally distributed around the stem, as 

 on the hollyhock. Standing some ten 

 feet tall, it was the center of attraction. 



One of the most interesting and keenly 

 contested classes was the display of 

 herbaceous and wild flowers, a collection 

 of the latter embracing more than fifty 

 varieties, showing the great interest be- 

 ing taken in outdoor hardy flowers. 



The collection of asters exhibited in 

 competition for the prizes offered by the 

 Yuess Gardens Co., Newburgh, brought out 

 a choice lot of blooms that took Walter 

 Mott, who judged the amateur class, 

 some time to decide upon. The first prize 

 was awarded to a vase of Violet King, 

 each bloom measuring above four inches 

 across, borne oil very long stems. 



A. Laub & Sons were an easy first on 

 carnations, with Enchantress on stems two 

 feet long. 



The attendance was quite satisfactory, 

 owing to fine weather and the interest 

 taken by the wealthy residents, who lend 

 their aid and by their presence make 

 this the most popular flower show in the 

 Hudson valley. It is really a forerun- 

 ner of the big chrysanthemum show, held
