NASSAU COUNTY SOCIETY SHOW. 
The twelfth annual chrysanthemum show 
of the Nassau County Horticultural Society, 
wlti h was held in (lien Cove, N. Y., Novem- 
bei 2-3, was one of the finest exhibitions 
tin- society has ever held. The cut blooms 
ex ibited were of the largesl size and finest 
finish, while the various specimen plants 
and plant groups showed an acme of per- 
fection that reflected the greatest credit on 
the skill of their growers. The roses, car- 
nations and vegetables were of an equally 
high quality and competition in practically 
all of the classes was of the keenest. The 
various exhibits were most artistically ar- 
ranged under the capable direction of Show 
Manager James Gladstone, ably assisted by 
James Holloway and Harry Goodband. 
There were two groups of plants ex- 
hibited, each of which showed the most 
tasteful arrangement and brought forth 
many favorable comments. One was a 
group of chrysanthemum plants staged by 
Robert Jones, gardener for Percy Chubb; 
the other, a group of foliage and flowering 
plants entered by Robert Marshall, gardener 
for J. R. Delamar. 
The classes for the double chrysanth- 
emum standard and bush plants were both 
won by Robert Marshall, with James Mc- 
Carthy, gardener for W. E. Kimball, sec- 
ond. The prizes for single chrysanthe- 
mums, standard and bush plants, were each 
won by James McCarthy, with Henry Gaut, 
gardener for Herbert S. Pratt, second. For 
six chrysanthemums in 6-inch pots, Robert 
Marshal] was first and Robert Jones, sec- 
ond. For six chrysanthemum plants as 
grown for market. George Ferguson, gar- 
dener for Payne Whitney, first, and Robert 
Jones, second. 
The prize for the largest bloom in the 
show was captured by Robert Jones with a 
massive William Turner. Mr. Jones also 
led in the number of prizes won, taking 17 
firsts and six seconds. The classes for sin- 
gle and hardy chrysanthemums were well 
contested and many exceptionally fine vari-

TUXEDO HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
SHOW. 
The annual flower show was held in the 
ball room of the Tuxedo Clubhouse which 
was one of the finest displays of flowers 
ever shown at Tuxedo. The entries far 
exceeded those of any previous show. The 
groups were again a feature of our show. 
Chrysanthemums were very good. Singles 
were shown to advantage, and are no doubt 
slowly taking the first place in chrysanthe- 
mums, both for their usefulness in decora- 
tion and their beauty on the exhibition 
table. Roses were the best ever shown 
here, with a big increase in entries. Carna- 
tions were of excellent quality and line 
color. The classes for vegetables in past 
years have been falling off. but this year 
they came right up to the front again. The 
feature of our show was the table decora-

the largest we ever had. Chrysanthemums 
being the only flower used, the lirst prize 
was won by Mrs. S. Spencer (Emil Barth, 
gardener).

gardener) won the cup for six cold storage

cup for the best flowering plant. Mr. G. G.
