The Landscape Display. 



II. .1. Stocluiians has a room to him- 

 self for an exhiliit that attracts as 

 much attention from the puldic as any- 

 tliinii in tlie show, lie illustrates how 

 \arious pieci's of oround are treated by 

 tlu' landscape man. The larj^cr of the 

 thre(> exhihits shows a jirojierty of five 

 acres at J.ake l''orest, for which Mr. 

 f^toidvinans has jirepared the |>lans for 

 impro\(Mnent. He has Imilt a Idy, low 

 talde on which has lieen jilaced a jian 

 specially constructed, the scale heiny 

 one inch to four feet. The pan is 

 only two inches de(>|i and is tilled with 

 soil, so that the receptacle is out of 

 si<;ht and the surroundin<;s are safe 

 fiom damage l>.v moisture. On an ele- 

 vation stands the mansion, with a for- 

 mal rose jiarden, hedges, pergola and 

 lialustrades at one side. Off to the left 

 are the \eoetalile gardens and further

yet the orchard, all so completely il- 

 lustrated that the little trees are full 

 of fruit (craiilierries) with more on the 

 i;rouiul. The sod is ort'en sheet moss. 

 .\t the right is a water garden with 

 real water, and a perennial garden. 

 The crocuses are in bloom. The avenue 

 beside the estate is lined with trees 

 and the shrubbery .'iiid trei^s about the 

 grounds are shown as they will lie 

 planted, down to the most minute de 

 tail. Two similar displays show differ 

 ent treatments for city lots in(ixl."i(\ 



Rose Day. 



Wednesday, the second of the show, 

 was rose day, and the size of the ex 

 hibition was materially increased, for 

 the big vases of UtiJ long-stemmed 

 blooms, many of them arranged in the 

 Institute's uni(|ue big \as(>s, took up a 

 great deal of room. The roses wcmc 

 given the east room, dis]ilacing the 

 bulbous stock, cyclamens and primulas, 

 which gay colored exhibits were re 

 moved to ad. joining rooms not usetl on 

 the opiMiiiig day. The show thus ap- 

 l)eared much larger than as at first 

 staged. 



Poehlniami Hros. Co. made a clean 

 sweep in the rose classes, but was 

 without competition in Dark Pink Kil- 

 lainey, Double Pink Killarney, Ward, 

 Hnlgarie and Melody. Kacli class called 

 for iHd (lowers. While all were good, 

 the .Mrs. Ward were exci'ptionally fine. 

 W'ietor Hi'os. staged (>xcell(Mit entries 

 in the Meauty, Killarney and White 

 Killarney (lasses and Peter Keinberg 

 had a line \ase of Richmonds. The 

 Pi'auties made a lira\e show in the 

 great poiccdain ,jars in which th(>y were 

 staged, but soon wi-nt down, proving 

 that these fancy receptacles nro not 

 nearly so good for the purpose as are 

 the ordinary straight pots. 



Hassett & Washburn put up a group 

 of roses not for competition. Eleven 

 \ ases were used, the \arieties being 

 White Killarney, Rhea Reid, Killarney. 

 Wiird, Double White Killarney, Beauty 

 and Richmond. 



.b)liii Mangel staged two splendid 

 large, tall baskets of roses, one of B\il 

 garie. and the other of Ward, excel 

 lently arranged. 



The Hohannon F'loial • 'o. had an ex 

 ceptionally fine tall \ase of ^\'llite Kil 

 larney, splendidly arranged. 



Harry Papwortli, of the Metairie 

 Kidge Nursery Co., .New Orleans, 

 brought roses to till a half dozen vases, 

 long-stemmed stock that showed that 

 though New Orleans gets most of its 

 roses from Chicago, good flowers never 

 tlieless can be grown in that climate.
