A vase of Timothy Eaton chrysanthe- mums would have been creditable in any exhibition anywhere. James Bell, gardener to Louis C. Vanuxem, Chestnut Hill, had the honor of taking the greatest number of prizes. William Vanderveur, gardener to Wm. J. Latta, Wirratuckon Heights, had the honor of carrying off the two best firsts, that for a group of foliage plants and for twelve crotons. The latter were exceedingly well done, the varieties being of the best and well assorted, and they were well furnished with foliage. The show was held in Christian Hall, the free library building at Chestnut Hill, and was free to the public. The judges were Robert G. Carey, John F. Sibson and Edvrin Lonsdale. E. L. Andover, Mass.
