Table Decorations. 



There were two classes for table dec- 

 orations, one in which sweet peas were 

 used exclusively and one in which 

 everything but sweet peas was al- 

 lowed; both were for private garden- 

 ers. There were in all thirteen tables, 

 all well done, and several admirably 

 executed. The prize-winners for the 

 best sweet pea table were Thos. Aitchi- 

 son, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., and Martin 

 Fitzgerald, of Greystone, N. Y. In the 

 other table decoration class first place 

 was taken by John Canning, gardener 

 for A. Lewisohn, of Ardsley, N, Y., 

 and second prize was won by Thos.

 ers held its reunion Tuesday, March 24, 

 and a bowling contest was held at

 in the evening. Charles H. Totty was 

 toastmaster at the banquet and James 

 Stuart, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., was 

 eh»irman of the arrangements commit- 

 tee, and between the two they made it 

 a most enjoyable affair. A number of 

 excellent speeches made it of more 

 than passing interest.

Notes Here and There. 



Worthy of special mention was the 

 beautifully . arranged group of W. B. 

 Thompson, A. M. Johnstone, gardener. 

 An arch of Dorothy Perkins roses filled 

 the center at the back. In the center 

 of the arch was a plant of schizanthus, 

 one also being used on the sides. The 

 group dipped down, and in front were 

 several charming pyramids, the central 

 one of Cattleya Schrcederse and Phalse- 

 nopsis Schilleriana surmounted by a 

 palm. At the sides were individual 

 plants of Acacia armata pendula, with 

 pink stocks below, and a base of cro- 

 tons. At the extreme en^s were clumps 

 of Primula malaeoides with a cocos as 

 a centerpiece. This group was charm- 

 ingly conceived and well merited tha 

 praise bestowed upon it.
