THE AUTUMN 



EXHIBITIONS 



t 



MADISON, N. J. 



The Morris County Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Society held its annual show 

 October 26 and 27. This society is 

 noted for the high quality of its ex- 

 hibits, but this . year seemed to have 

 excelled its previous records. This is 

 particularly true in the case of chrys- 

 anthemums and roses. In the rose 

 classes it is interesting to note that 

 Bridesmaids are practically lost, and 

 both My Maryland and Killarney had 

 to bow to the newer Badiance, samples 

 of which were shown in magnificent 

 condition, with 4-foot stems, fully equal 

 in all respects to the average American 

 Beauty. 



In the chrysanthemum classes for 

 thirty-six flowers in six varieties, 

 William Duekham, superintendent for 

 Mrs. D. Willis James, scored first. His 

 exhibit contained magnificent speci- 

 mens of W. Woodmason, Lady Hope- 

 toun and Beatrice May. Charles Bar- 

 banes, gardener for Dudley Olcott, 

 Morristown, scored secon* with fine 

 samples of Reginald Vallis and F. S. 

 Vallis. 



For eighteen flowers in six varieties, 

 J. Lindabury, gardener for Robert D. 

 Foote, Morristown, was first. His 

 Pockett's Crimson in this class were 

 wonderfully fine, and other splendid 

 flowers were C. H. Totty and Eose 

 Pockett. John Downing, gardener for 

 Dr. D. H. McAlpin, was second, his 

 finest flowers being Lady Hopetoun 

 and Glenview, James Fraser, super- 

 intendent for Otto H. Kahn, Morris- 

 town, was third, his best flowers being 

 Yellow Miller and Loiseau Rousseau. 



For twelve flowers in twelve varie- 

 ties, one vase, Alex. Robertson, gar- 

 dener for E. H. Wells, Montclair, was 

 first. This exhibit contained magnifi- 

 cent specimens of Alice M. Flagler, 

 F. E. Nash, Mary Mason and Lady 

 Hopetoun. John Downing scored sec- 

 ond, his finest fiowers being Leslie Mor- 

 rison, Cheltoni and Pockett's Crimson. 

 For ten flowers, white, one variety, 

 Wm. Turner, gardener for M. C. D. 

 Borden, Oceanic, scored first with Bea- 

 trice May. Wm. Duekham was second, 

 with Mrs. Syme. This condition was 

 reversed in si;t white, where magnifi- 

 cent flowers exhibited by Peter Duff, 

 gardener for Mrs. J, Crosby Brown, of 

 Orange, were awarded first against 

 Alex. Robertson second. For ten pinK, 

 Wm. Duekham scored first with Lady 

 Hopetoun. 



One of the most striking exhibits in 

 the show was the class for twenty-four 

 blooms in twenty-four distinct varie- 

 ties, single stems, shown in bottles. 

 This class was won by Wm. Duekham, 

 who had a remarkable collection of 

 varieties. They included as the finest 

 Harry E. Converse, W. Woodmason, 

 Mrs. G. C. Kelly, Mrs. H. Stevens, 

 Chrysanthemiste Montigny, Onunda and 

 Alice Lemon. Wm. Turner was second 

 with a wonderfully even lot of blooms, 

 among his best being Mrs. C. H. Totty, 



Leslie Morrison, Mary Donnellan, W. 

 Woodmason and Mrs. H. Stevens. 



Ernest E. Wilde, gardener for C. W. 

 Harkness, Madison, was first in Class 9 

 with what the judges thought the 

 twelve best -flowers in the show. They 

 were as follows: W. Woodmason, Rose 

 Pockett, Mary Farnsworth, Naceur Bey, 

 Alice Lemon, Mrs. Syme, Beatrice May, 

 Pockett's Crimson, F. E, Nash, Lady 

 Hopetoun, Frank Payne and George 

 Lock. His nearest competitor was ^. 

 Lindabury, whose finest flawers in- 

 cluded Lady Hopetoun, Pockett's Crim- 

 son, Onunda, Mrs. David Syme and Mrs. 

 O. H. Kahn. The third prize was won 

 by Jas. Fraser, whose finest flowers 

 were Howard Gould, C. H. Totty and 

 F. E. Nash. 



The Stumpp & Walter prize was won 

 by Alex. Robertson for six flowers in 

 six varieties, which were all of superb 

 quality: F. E. Nash, Lady Hopetoun, 

 Hon. Mrs. Lopes, Gladys Blackburn, 

 F. S. Vallis and Flagler. Peter Duff 

 scored second in this class, with Lady 

 Hopetoun and Yellow Miller among his 

 best. 



In the class for six flowers, one va- 

 riety, Jas. Fraser scored first in pink, 

 with fine Wm. Duekham; in bronze, 

 with Rose Pockett; in crimson, with 

 Pockett's Crimson, and J. Lindabury, 

 first for yellow with F. S. Vallis. 



For vase of chrysanthemums arranged 

 for effect, John Downing was first and 

 Jas. Fraser second. 



The class for pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums was won by Henry Gaut, gar- 

 dener for J. T. Pratt, Glen Cove. John 

 Downing scored first for twelve vases 

 of singles. 



In the commercial classes Chas. H. 

 Totty ran first clear down the list, show- 

 ing Mrs. Syme for white, R. F. Felton 

 for yellow, Reginald Vallis for pink 

 and Mrs. O. H. Kahn for any other 

 color, ten of each. 



The chief noticeable fact about the 

 chrysanthemum exhibits was the pre- 

 dominance of the Australian varieties. 

 Outside of Merza, Vallis and Chrys- 

 anthemiste Montigny, the entire show 

 may be said to have been composed of 

 Australian varieties. The peer of them 

 all was Mrs. Syme. It was too early 

 for the growers in this vicinity for any 

 other varieties, which will possibly be 

 seen in New York this week in better 

 condition.
