Salient  Features  In  Prize  Schedules. 
_ 
READERS  of  the  Journal  of 
Horticulture  are  particularly- 
interested  in  all  matters  con¬ 
nected  with  Chrysanthemums) 
and  as  the  exhibitors  of  these 
flowers  are  more  numerous  than 
ever,  I  thought  a  note  on  the 
salient  features  of  the  various  prize 
schedules  of  leading  societies  might 
not.  prove  uninteresting  reading  at  this 
season  of  the  year.  Whether  the  intensity 
of  excitement  of  a  few  years  since,  when 
one  society  was  vieing  with  another  in  offer¬ 
ing  inducements  to  exhibitors,  will  be  main¬ 
tained  in  the  future,  I  cannot  say ;  but 
certainly  exhibitors  are  not  less  energetic, 
or  societies  less  encouraging,  to  produce  what 
all  aim  at— the  finest  display.  While  we  hear 
annually  of  some  society  being  compelled  to 
abandon  its  show  for  the  present,  on  the 
other  haud  we  usually  have  the  encouraging 
announcement  that  a  new  society  has  been 
started  ;  so,  taking  all  things  into  consider¬ 
ation,  we  cannot  but  assume  that  an  equal 
deep  interest  is  being  taken  in  Chrys¬ 
anthemum  culture. 
In  my  diary  I  have  noted  103  competitive 
exhibitions,  commencing  with  Portsmouth 
and  Croydon  on  October  29th,  and  ending 
with  Bristol  on  November  23rd.  When  we 
consider  that  this  number  of  exhibitions 
have  to  be  crowded  into  the  short  space  of 
twenty-six  days,  Sundays  included,  no  one 
can  say  but  that  the  Chrysanthemum  season 
is  a  busy  one.  No  less  than  twenty  shows 
take  place  on  Wednesday,  November  13th, 
therefore  to  report  them  all  in  one  issue 
means  a  vast  amount  of  labour  [and  space. 
—Ed.] 
The  shows  that  are  held  at  Portsmouth 
and  Croydon  are  indicative  of  the  general 
quality  of  the  blooms  to  he  expected
