competition. It was principally inter- 

 esting from the fact that, while the 

 work was commendable, the competition 

 was participated in by only two New 

 York retailers where many supposed 

 they would all jump at the chance of 

 advertising to .the high class crowds 

 who are attending the show. Alfred T. 

 Bunyard and Max Schling are the two 

 who entered; they went into every 

 class, as did one retailer from Buffalo 

 and another from Boston. The tables 

 were especially attractive. The awards

Twenty-flve blooms red forcing rose, not yet 

 dlssemlnated^FIrst. A. N. Pierson. on .Milady. 



The retail work in which roses were 

 to be used brought out an interesting 



8, and with its addition to the exhibi- 

 tion the popular interest and the at- 

 tendance visibly increased. The city 

 at last began to take notice of the fact 

 that the greatest flower show this coun- 

 try ever has seen is in progress in New 

 York. 



But the showing of carnations is not 

 the best the American Carnation So- 

 ciety ever has made. In point of qual- 

 ity it is of a high order, probably 

 higher than ever before has been seen 

 at so late a date, but the quantity is 

 decidedly lighter than usual. It is 

 lighter than at Detroit last year and 

 lighter than at Boston two years ago. 

 It is remarkable that of the 200 vases 

 entered not much more than half showed 

 up. Part of this is due to floods in the 

 west, but delayed trains do not explain 

 the failure of local growers to stage 

 their entries. 



It was in the standard varieties that 

 the falling off occurred, for the show 

 is rich in novelties and there is keen 

 competition for the medals. 



S. S. Skidelsky, Philadelphia, has 

 Philadelphia, silvery pink, of large size. 

 .T. D. Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., shows 

 Northport, bright pink, a center of in- 

 terest. F. B. Adams, Blue Point, N. Y., 

 has Salmon Beauty, a salmon pink En- 

 chantress. M. A. Patten & Co., Tewks- 



bury, Mass., show three fine vases of 

 Princess Dagmar, a large dark crimson; 

 also Mrs. C. W. Barron, a flaked Variety 

 originated by Dailledouze. Albert 

 Eoper, Tewksbury, Mass., has Miss A. 

 Coombs, silvery pink, and one of the 

 surprises of the show. Dailledouze 

 Bros., Brooklyn, have Enchantress Su- 

 preme, a salmon pink sport of En- 

 chantress. The Cottage Gardens, Queens, 

 N. Y., show Matchless, glistening white; 

 also Virginia, white, with flushed cen- 

 ter. Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., has 

 Gorgeous, dark pink, in the same form 

 as last year. John Barr, South Natick, 

 Mass., has Mrs. B. P. Cheney, a splendid

 red, of excellent promise. C. S. Stout,

 of Winsor. Scott Bros., Elmsford, N. 

 Y., show Wm. Eccles, scarlet, and Ladv 

 Northcliffe, white, W. D. Howard, Mil- 

 ford, Mass., has Morningside, a new 

 salmon pink of promise. Henke Bros., 

 Watervliet, N. Y., also have several 

 seedlings worthy of mention, and there 

 are a number of novelties of which only 

 a few flowers are shown. On the whole, 

 it is a showing of new varieties that is 

 remarkable for large size of flowers, 

 length and strength of stem, purity of 

 color and the fact that each one excels 

 anything known a few years ago.
