NEVPORT,R.I. 



The feature of the late Newport show- 

 on the closing day was the table decora- 

 tions. In the several classes there was 

 an excellent competition. The judges 

 were Mr. Eraser, A. Meikle and Richard 

 Gardner, all of Newport. The best table 

 decoration of outdoor flowers was from 

 I. Townsend Burden, Charles Newton 

 gardener, and consisted of dark red 

 celosias and Asparagus plumosus effect- 

 ively used. One class was for the best 

 table decoration of any material, such 

 as j)lants, flowers or fruits, or along with 

 such articles as silver or glassware. 

 There was a bewildering display of 

 valuable gold, silver and glassware on 

 these tables. The first prize went to C. 

 E. Gunther, who had a centerpiece of 

 Adiantum Farleyense and four large 

 vases of yellow flowers and grasses. 

 James Boyd, gardener to J. J. Astor, was 

 second and Herbert Coles, third. 



The Rickards Bros, silver cup in class 

 D went to A. J, Dorward, gardener to 

 Mrs. T. J. Emery, who had a centerpiece 

 of Salvia splendens and adiantum, with 

 silver fruit dishes, candlesticks and 

 shades and a gardenia flower for each 

 guest. The second prize was taken by 

 Andrew Pow, gardener to Mrs. Cornelius 

 Vanderbilt, who used Adiantum Farley- 

 ense and Pandanus Veitchii leaves, but 

 no flowers; gardenias were used at the 

 plates. Pink hollyhocks and adiantum, 

 with gardenia boutonnieres, were in the 

 third prize table. For the best decora- 

 tion to show originality Mrs. E. J. Ber- 

 wintl's special prize was captured by A. 

 J. Dorward with an effective arrange- 

 ment of Killarney roses and Farleyense. 

 There was a tall center vase and lower 

 ones at each end. An orchid decoration 

 secured second place. Cattleyas and 

 Farleyense were used as a centerpiece 

 and these were encircled by four smaller 

 vases of yellow oncidiums, gardenia:? 

 being as usual at each plate.

BROCKTON, MASS. 



The funeral of James Edgar, Brock- 

 ton 's most prominent merchant, Septem- 

 ber 24, gave the local florists a lot of 

 business. The designs were more numer- 

 ous and costly than on any similar occa- 

 sion here before. W. W. Hathaway had 

 a large part of the most valuable orders, 

 Messrs. Jahn and Boyle also furnishing 

 many pieces. C. 



Allegan, Mich. — Material for more 

 of the Conklin & Hudson greenhouses 

 has arrived and the buildings will be 

 constructed at once on the foundations 

 built for them some time ago.
