SEWICKLEY (PA.) HORT. SOCIETY. 
The second annual fall exhibition of the 
SeM ickley Horticultural Society was staged 
in the public school pavilion on Friday and 
Saturd.ay, Sejitember 28 and 29. 
No pretense was made by the exhibitors 
to stage exjiibition quality, owiny to the 
shortage of labor, but in spite of this handi- 
cap there was a high standard of culture, 
especially in the vegetable classes. Ribbons 
were the only awards, as all proceeds were 
to be given to the local auxiliary of the Ked 
Cross Association, but the National Asso- 
ciation of Gardeners' Achievement Medal 
was to be awarded to the exhibitor gaining 
tile greatest number of points. 
Pres. Barnet, gardener to Mrs. .J. D. 
Lyon, n-as the winner, and he well deserved 
the honor, not only for the high quality 
of his exhibits but for his untiring efforts 
to make the exhibition a success. M. Gur 
ran, gardener to Mrs. E. M. Home, was a 
very close challenger, and, althotigh he had 
16 firsts to his credit against the 14 firsts 
of Mr. Barnet, in total number of points 
the latter won by 8, the totals being "ft 
and OS respectively. The Canning School 
had a large display on view, and a prettv 
and eiTective group of orchids was staged 
by A. Leach, gardener to H. J. Heinz of 
Pittsburgh. Other successful exhibitors 
were A. E. Bonsey, Wm. Thomson, Jr., A. 
Etherington, R. Botel, T. Sturgis and .L 
Carman. The judges were Messrs. D. 
Frazer, E. Guter and J. Wiseman, of Pitts- 
burgh, who performed their arduous work 
with credit to themselves and satisfaction 
to the exhibitors.
