TitE CABNAXIONS. 



Largest Showing Yet Mijle. 



The 4^merio#n Carnation Society 4;ame 

 to the front the fourth day of the 

 show with the largest display of blooms 

 in its history. The secretary had nearly 

 300 entries as against less tlmji 200 at 

 Pittsburg, where the previous high 

 water mark was set last year. * Several 

 exhibits from the. Pennsylvania carna- 

 tion belt and westward failed to arrive, 

 because of the heavy storm that in- 

 terrupted travel. The quality of nearly 

 all the stock was of the highest order, 

 but there were some soft flowers and 

 those that had come from the west 

 were not in a condition to. compete. 



Aside from the rivalry for premiums, 

 of course the greatest interest cen- 

 tered in the novelties. Nothing sensa- 

 tional was disclosed. The judges did 

 not award the society's gold medal and 

 gave both the silver and bronze to 

 variegated sorts. M. A. Patten had 

 the two leading varieties, Mrs. C. Wj 

 Barron, variegated, and Genevieve^^v^^ 

 White, winner of the S. A. F. silver ] 

 medal. Other new sorts of some prom- ' 

 ise included Pink Supreme, blush pink, 

 from ^. H. Leach & Son; Benora, varie- 

 gated, from Peter Fisher; Mrs. B. P. 

 Cheney, variegated, from John Barr; 

 Howard Gould, pink, from Cottage Gar- 

 dens; Rainbow, variegated, and Sul- 

 tana, crimson, from Wanoka Green- 

 houses; William Eccles, red, from Scott 

 Bros.; White Winsor, from H. F. Ljttle- 

 field, Worcester, Mass.; pink sport of 

 Winsor, from W. D. Howard; Dimple 

 Weidener, from Wm. Kleinheinz, and 

 Dorothy Dempster, white, from Robert 

 Main, Gloversville, N. Y. From George 

 Saltford, Poughkeepsie, came Vassar, 

 another fine variegated, but it had heat- 

 ed in transit. 



The new varieties being sent out this 

 year were not conspicuous. Bonfire was 

 shown by Hill. The Chicago Carnation ^ 

 Co. put up Washington, not for compe- 

 tition. Dorner showed White Wonder 

 and Gloriosa, and Zweiful staged
