Floricultural Displays. — It was expected that cut flower 

 exhibits would be made on each Tuesday throughout the Expo- 

 sition, but the plan could not be consummated. The first 

 important display was a show of gladiolus made in August 

 by C. H. Allen, of Floral Park, N. Y. On September 4, F. R. 

 Pierson & Co., Tarrytown, N". Y., made a display of Meteor 

 roses. Ernst Asmus also made a show of lily of the valley 

 about this time. These were the chief displays of cut flowers, 

 and although they were excellent in quality, they were less 

 extensive than the occasion demanded. The following is an 

 unofficial list of awards in floriculture, Group 22.
