The Orange county fair opened here September 27 and, judging by the crowd on the opening day and the excellent quality of the exhibits, it will go on record as a great success. Besides the agricultural and pleasure ends of the fair, there was a most interesting and attractive floricultural department un- der the management of Howard E. Gates, of Anaheim, in his capacity as chairman of the committee on flori- culture. It says a good deal for the energy and hard work of Mr, Gates that practically all the nurserymen in this city and the adjoining cities of Anaheim and Fullerton exhibited, and the florists' end was by no means the least interest- ing. One of the finest exhibits in the show was that of Amling Bros. It consisted of large vases of roses of splendid qual- ity for this time of year. Premier, Butterfly, Milady, Angelus, Bussell, Dunlop and Crusader were the principal varieties shown, and this group took the first prize in the cut flower class rather easily. In the plant class Collins' Nursery won the first place with a bright and showy exhibit of cyclamens in full bloom, prettily arxanged with boxwoods, tens and palms. i<iiiij4nother<noteworthy exhibit was that of Bobertson's Nurseries, at Fullerton, consisting of fine, well colored kentias and ferns. The firm was awarded sec- ond honors here and third for a cut flower display. Morris the Florist won first for a basket of flowers, second for a cut flower display and third for plants, the exhibits in each case being marked by tasteful and finished arrangement and good qual- ity of material. Fred Bafferty was awarded third prize for a basket, a charming arrangement of carnations and maidenhair, Ughtened with Delphin- ium- Belladonna. Howard Gates took second prize in this class for a smaller bnt taste- fully arranged basket of roses, statice and delphinium. Mr. Gates' plant ex- hibit, too, was a tastefully arranged group
