JUDGING AND JUROES. 



The judging of as big a show as the 

 International is a task the magnitude 

 of which few men appreciate. The 

 stock being scattered all over an enor- 

 mous area, arranged for effect instead 

 of for the convenience of the jurors, 

 makes an immense amount of running 

 backward and forward. It is a point 

 on which previous exhibitions have 

 been more or less lame and Chairman 

 Totty determined to have it go better 

 at New York. He asked Manager 

 Duckham to have all the competitive 

 classes ready at 2:30 p. m. on the day 

 the show opened and appointed Harry 

 A. Bunyard as chairman of the board 

 of jurors, which was made large enough 

 80 that, working in groups of three, the 

 whole show could be judged by the 

 time the doors opened to the public. 

 Mr. Bunyard perfected an elaborate 

 system of recording the awards, em- 

 ploying ten typewriters, so that the 

 moment the messenger arrived with the 

 last slip from the judges the type- 

 written lists of awards were ready for 

 distribution to the press. The system 

 -worked perfectly. There was no delay 

 and the work was handled with neat- 

 ness and dispatch. 



The official list of judges, to work in 

 Bets of three, as shown, was as follows: 



Harry Turner, chairman, Yonkers, N. Y. 

 A. H. Wlngett, Leiiox, Mass.

 five gentlemen. At the head table were 

 J. K. M. L. Farquhar, C. H. Totty, Wil- 

 liam H. Duckham, Stuart Low, M. M.

NATIONAL GARDENERS MEET. 



The National Association of Garden- 

 ers held a special meeting at New York 

 April 7, President W. H. Waite occupy- 

 ing the chair. Mr. Farquhar, president 

 of the S. A, F., was introduced and 

 made an inspiring address. He was 

 followed by James Kennedy, president 

 of the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, who talked enthusiastically. 

 Both gentlemen urged the gardeners to 

 be true to the best traditions of the 

 craft, to strive for better things, to 

 hold themselves and their art in not 

 too low esteem and to demand their 

 due. 



Secretary Ebel announced that the 

 summer meeting will be held at Bos- 

 ton in June and the next annual meet- 

 ing in New York in November in con- 

 nection with the autumn show of the 

 Horticultural Society of New York. 



Tuesday evening, April 8, the garden- 

 ers entertained their friends at a 

 smoker at the Murray Hill hotel, with 

 an abundance of refreshments and a 

 fine program. 



Wednesday, April 8, the big bowling 

 tournament was pulled off at Thumm's 

 alleys, beginning in the morning and 

 not being concluded until late in the 

 evening. 



AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. 



The American Gladiolus Society was 

 unable to stage any exhibits in the 

 competitive classes on the schedule, the 

 blooms not being available at this sea- 

 son. Several members brought a few 

 spikes of novelties, but there were no 

 awards. A meeting was held, at which 

 it was voted to combine the offices of 

 financial and recording secretaries and 

 create a new office of editor of the bul- 

 letin, to be filled by appointment.

 has removed its downtown headquarters 

 from 415 Second street to 233y2 Fifth

 servatory in the rear.
