Mr. R. C. Notcutt, Broughton Road Nursery, Ipswich, secured the first

with a charming stand. The varieties included Miss Mary Anderson, 
Rev. Remfrey, Yellow Jane, Princess May, Purity, Dolly Varden, 
D. Windsor, Jane, Miss M. Wilde, Lady Churchill, Miss Crissey, and 
Mrs. D, B. Crane. There was apparently only one competitor in this 
class. 
For a group of Chrysanthemums, arranged for effect in not less than 
100 square feet, Japanese varieties only admitted, Mr. W. Wells, Earls- 
wood Nurseries, Red Hill, was awarded the first prize. As previously 
hinted, this group was of a unique character, and was much admired by 
many visitors. A departure from the usual custom of arranging is 
specially pleasing, and Mr. Wells has obviously made a move in the 
right direction. The group was arranged in an irregular manner, the 
surface being undulating, which compared favourably with those of a 
more flat appearance. It was a harmony of green, yellow, and crimson. 
The rich yellow flowers of W. H. Lincoln and the dark blooms of 
W. Seward were toned down in a most charming manner by the judicious 
use of Mr. Wells’s novelty, the green Chrysanthemum Ethel Amsden. 
This is absolutely a green, a whitish appearance being shown only 
occasionally in some of the florets, and when employed with the varieties 
mentioned is most effective. A few blooms of the new white Souvenir 
de la Petite Amie and Col. W. B. Smith were also used to advantage in 
this group, the same applying to Chas. Davis in its varied character. The 
whole of the flowers were remarkably fine, and the plants very dwarf. 
A deep margin of Ferns of various kinds completed the group. Messrs. 
J. Carter & Co., High Holborn, were placed second for a group arranged 
in the ordinary manner. Messrs. J. Mobsby & Sons, Thornton Heath, 
were awarded the third prize for a group of plants very compactly 
arranged. 
Mr. W. Baker, gardener to C. J. W. Rabbits, Esq., J.P., Westwood 
House, secured the first prize for a collection of Chrysanthemums in 
pots, arranged for effect in a group of not less than 50 square feet, this 
class being open to amateurs only. The group was in the form of a 
bank, with a very formal appearance. The flowers were good, and so 
far as could be seen from the close manner in which they were packed 
the plants well grown. It seems a pity that such beautiful flowers, so 
varied in colour and form as the Chrysanthemums, are not put to better 
advantage in arranging them in groups. Mr. C. Twain, gardener to 
G. W. Bird, Esq., The Manor House, West Wickham, Kent, secured the 
second prize for a less closely arranged group of plants, bearing much 
finer flowers than those in the first-prize contribution. Particularly 
fine were Viviand Morel, W. Seward, G. C. Schwabe, and Kentish 
Yellow. Mr. T. W. Wells, gardener to C. Ralph, Esq., Cranbrook Villa, 
Upper Norwood, secured the third prize in this class. 
Trained plants were by no means so fine as is usually seen at this 
show. In the class for twelve standard trained specimens—four 
Japanese, four incurved, and four Pompons—on stems not exceeding 
3 feet, and grown in pots 12 inches or less in diameter, Mr. G. H. Cooper, 
Sydenham Road, Croydon, was placed first. This exhibitor had 
Viviand Morel, Mdlle. Lacroix, W. Tricker, La Triomphante, Barbara, 
Mrs. G. Rundle, Mrs. Dixon, James Forsythe, Madame Chalonge, 
St, Michael, and Black Douglas. Mr. J. Carpenter, gardener to 
— Pursord, Esq., Broad Water, Lower Tooting, S.W., was awarded the 
third prize for stiffly trained plants, the best of which were La 
Triomphe, Elaine, President, and new Golden Madame Marthe. Mr. 
W. Wesker, gardener to A. Heaner, Esq., Streatham Elms, Tooting 
Bee, S.W., was appirently the only exhibitor of six trained specimens of 
Japanese varieties, and the second prize was awarded. The varieties 
shown were Margot, Col. W. B. Smith, La Triomphante, Florence Davis, 
Madame B. Randatler, and Stanstead Surprise, Mr. Wesker was 
also awarded the second prize for four trained specimens of incurved 
varieties, showing Prince of Wales, Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. G. Rundle, and 
Mons. R. Bahuant. The same exhibitor was given the third prize for 
six trained Pompons, staging Sunset, President, St. Michael, White Cedo 
Nulli, Black Douglas, and Maroon Model. 
The class for a table of cut Chrysanthemum blooms, arranged for 
effect with small Ferns, Palms, or autumn-tinted foliage, brought forth 
two exhibits. The first prize was secured by Mr. W. D. Aspland, 
florist. Crystal Palace, for a charmingly arranged table. The flowers 
used were white, yellow, old gold colour, and pink, and these were 
mixed with grasses and branches of the Sweet Chestnut. The front of 
the table was draped with yellow art muslin, which harmonised with 
the flowers, Mr. Wells was awarded the third prize for an arrangement 
which was good in its way, but rather dull and heavy. 
Miscellaneous exhibits were by no means so numerous as is usual 
at this show, Messrs, J. Laing & Sons, Stanstead Nurseries, Forest 
Hill, sent a collection of plants, including Chrysanthemums, Palms, 
Crotons, Salvias, Nepenthes, and Dracaenas. The same firm contributed, 
dwarf Apple trees in pots bearing fruit, and another group of mis¬ 
cellaneous plants. Miss Mary Jackson, Weston Hill, Upper Norwood, 
had bouquets and wreaths of Chrysanthemums in variety, and Mr. 
A. W. Young, Holmesdale Nurseries, Stevenage, Herts, sent a collection 
of cut blooms of Chrysanthemums of various types. Messrs. W, Miles 
and Co., West Brighton Nursery, Hove, had a number of plants of 
Solanum, and a fine white double Primula named gigantea, Messrs. 
H. Cannell & Sons, Swanley, Kent, contributed cut blooms of new 
Chrysanthemums and dwarf plants in pots. This firm secured a first- 
class certificate for a very promising incurved variety named Globe d’Or. 
It is of good size, and rich yellow colour, suffused red in the lower florets. 
A certificate was also given to John Machar, an improved W. H. Lincoln, 
shown by Messrs. Cannell & Sons. Other good varieties in this stand were 
Major Downes, Col. Curzon, and Charlie Parsons, all seedlings of this 
year. Mr. H. Briscoe Ironside, Cedar Lodge, Burgess Hill, Sussex, sent a
