harmed by the cool weather of the 
last few days. Officials of the gar¬ 
dens said they feared the flowers y. 
would be nipped by frost but that»Jj 
most of them were still bright and 
sturdy.

favorite of the show. Adirondack 
Sunset, a vivid scarlet flower with 
yellow petals, still retained the lead 
it gained a week ago. Lord of 
Autumn, a bright mammoth yellow, 
was a close second. Another bright 
yellow flower, Spotlight, was third.

merous other varieties.
