The New York “International” 
TT WAS a great display of both plants and 
A flowers — highly cultivated specimens — 
that was on view in the Grand Central 
Palace, March 15th to 22nd. The universal 
comment was the simdarity to last year’s 
exhibition, not only in mass but in detail, lo 
a very large extent the same features occupied 
the same places on the floor. 1 he attendance 
was not so great as in former years, but from a 
technical viewpoint the exhibits left nothing 
to be desired. They were excellent. 1 he 
Rose Gardens of the two Piersons, competing 
against each other as before, showed better 
finish, albeit the same treatment as before, and 
opinion was about equally divided again this 
year as to whether or not the judges had erred. 
The decorative groups of private estates, 
arranged by the gardeners, ran a close contest; 
and here again there was much diversity of 
opinion as to the fitness of the awards. Mrs. 
Willis Martin’s presentation cup for the most 
artistic exhibit in the exhibition was awarded > 
to the group staged by Mr. Fardell for Mrs. I 
Booth, Glen Cove. The award was made by I 
an outside committee of ladies and was based 
entirely on art lines. 1 his garden is shown in 
the accompanying photograph. 
Again, another leading feature was the 1 
Rockeries. I hese were even more charming 
than before and clearly reflect the demand that 
has arisen generally for this latest phase of 
garden embellishment. Naturally they typify 
rather than illustrate, inasmuch as at the time 
of the year when the exhibition is held, the 
plants employed are all forced, and in con- i 
sequence, we get advance season combinations. 
It would seem desirable that in future 1 
exhibitions the management give attention to 
a change of presentation. Variety lends in- 
terest and life, and it is hardly likely that there 
can be much better quality of the product dis- 
played, nor can there be very much change in 
the material employed. The opportunity for
