The Ontario Horticultural Exhibition 

 was held last week in the Horticultural 

 building at Exhibition park and proved 

 the most successful affair of its kind 

 that has ever taken place in Canada. 



The directors have been handicapped 

 (luring previous years through not being 

 able to secure a convenient building for 

 the show, but the civic authorities came 

 to their assistance this year and affairs 

 have been placed on a new basis; in 

 fact, if prognostications prove correct, 

 next year's show will help largely to 

 make up for what little setbacks have 

 occurred at other times, and bring about 

 such results as have long been hoped for 

 by the energetic management. 



The opening days of the show were 

 liandicapped somewhat by disagreeable 

 weather; Thursday and Friday, how- 

 over, brought out society people in 

 larger numbers than ever before. This 

 was probably due to the newspaper ad- 

 vertising, which was a great improve- 

 ment on previous years; also to the mag- 

 nificent quality of the stock exhibited. 



Sir Henry Pellatt has done more than 

 any other flower lover in "^oronto to 

 give admirers their money's worth in 

 grouped effects, and on this occasion his 

 grower, T. McVettie, again took first 

 prize for the most attractive display in 

 the exhibition. 



A fine new refrigerating plant had 

 been installed in the building, and 

 proved the best thing possible for the 

 designs and orchids, roses, etc., that 

 showed to special advantage on this 

 occasion. It goes without saying that 

 this piece of furniture proved an in- 

 dispensable adjunct, and no flower show 

 will be complete without it. 



A striking feature of the show of 

 chrysanthemums was a new single white 

 called Dorothy Duggan, originated and 

 shown by the Dale Estate, Brampton, 

 for which they won first prize in this 

 (lass. The biggest bloom in the show 

 was a Wm. Turner, twenty-two and one- 

 half inches in circumference, shown by 

 Richard Jennings, also of Brampton. 

 Sir Henry Pellatt took first prize for 

 the vase of twelve mums, any variety 

 or varieties, with R. Jennings taking 

 first prize for yellow, and the Dale 

 Estate carried off all the first prizes for 

 the remaining entries in the mum sec- 

 tion.

BUFFALO. 



The Buffalo flower show, reported in 

 last week's issue of The Review, has 

 passed into history. It was a success 

 and a failure — a success from an artis- 

 tic point of view, a failure from a 

 financial one. It was acknowledged by 

 all who saw the splendid exhibition of 

 the florists' skill, and the artistically 

 laid out Italian garden plan of the de- 

 signer, George W. McClure, that the 

 show deserved a better financial fate. 

 But the florists' task of educating the 

 public to a higher appreciation of their 

 art is not completed yet. 



The Buffalo parks responded finely to 

 the call of the local club for exhibits. 

 Beautiful groups of chrysanthemums 

 and foliage plants, artistically arranged 

 to harmonize with the general plan, 

 were exhibited by Delaware park, Hum- 

 boldt park and South park. Indeed, it 

 is safe to say that without the coopera- 

 tion of the park department the show 

 would not have been the success it was. 

 And this ought to be a pointer for other 

 cities. 



Among the private exhibitors the dis 

 play of J. J. Albright stood unrivaled. 

 His head gardener, Chas. Sandiford, ex 

 celled himself this vear. His blooms 

 of Wm. Turner, Wells' Late Pink, 

 Broomhead, Yellow Eaton and Mary 

 Donnellan could not be beaten. 



The display of W. ,T. Palmer & Son 

 formed a perfect bower of beauty.
