The cauliflower, ce'.ery, toma- toes, lettuce, potatoes, in fact all the garden favorites shown were of the very best, ready to adorn the best table in the land. The display of roses and carnations. November 4, while not large, showed good quality. The prizes were very lib- eral. Twenty-five dollars and fifteen dollars fcr first and second prizes for 25 carnations is worth trying for. In the rose class for amateurs and pri- vate gardeners $;) and .$15 were offered for the best dozen American Beauty roses. The Joseph Heacock Co. exhib- ited vases of White Killarney, Pink Killarney and Radiance, 50 blooms of each, superb flowers they were, and having the greater merit that they were selections from their daily cut of market flowers, no attempt being made to fatten them for exhibition. John Welsh Young also staged two vases, one of My Maryland and another of Lady Alice Stanley; both showed re- markable culture and quality. A small basket, artistically arranged, of a new yellow baby rose, something like Sweetheart, was much admired. It was exhibited by the South Park Floral C9„ of New Castle, Ind. Two of the large arranged vases of grasses and chrysanthemums were placed at the first landing of the grand staircase and made a great showing. The collection of cut single chrysan- themums in the foyer was very showy. The flowers showed great culture. They were exhibited by Mrs. E. T. Scott. John Dunn, gardener. Edward Stroud, of Strafford, Pa., has a gem in his new bronzy yellow seedling chrysanthemum.
