SHOW AT MAMARONECK, N. Y. 
The fifth annual summer exhibition of 
The Westchester and Fairfield Horticul- 
tural Society was held at Mamaroneck, 
June 16-17, in the Kindergarten and Town 
Hall. Despite the general lateness of the 
season, there was an exceptionally fine lot 
of flowers, fruits and vegetables, which re- 
flected great credit on the exhibitors. The 
effective arrangement of the halls was due 
to the able management of Mr. Charles 
Adcock, under whose direction the exhibi- 
tion was staged. A feature was the very 
fine collection of native wild flowers, staged 
by the school children. Three dinner table 
decorations were in evidence and five very 
good trade exhibits. Roses were not as 
plentiful as usual. Herbaceous stock and 
flowers cut from shrubs were fine, while 
the display of Peonies was very large and 
of extra quality. The judges were: Messrs. 
John Johnston, of Glen Cove, L. I.; Joseph 
Mooney, of Hastings, N. Y.; James Smith, 
of White Plains, N. Y., whose fair and im- 
partial decisions met with universal favor. 
The awards follow: 
George E. Baldwin & Co., orchid special- 
ists, Mamaroneck, N. Y.. special prize and 
certificate of merit for display of orchids. 
Julius Roehrs Company, Rutherford, N. J., 
special prize and certificate of merit for 
display of orchids. J. H. Troy, New Ro- 
chelle, N. Y., certificate of merit for ex- 
hibit of cut Roses. Arthur Peterson, New 
Rochelle, N. Y., special prize for display of 
potted evergreens and flowering shrubs. 
Thomas Skinner, florist, Mamaroneck, 
N. Y., special prize for display of bridal

seph Stuart, Mamaroneck, X. Y., special 
prize for group of flowering and foliage

cultural certificate. P. W. Popp was 
awarded special prizes for displays of Roses 
and herbaceous flowers. 
The principal winners in the Rose Section 
were John Woodcock, of Ossining. N. Y.;
