The fourth annual exliibition ot the Ontario Horticultural Society was held in Massey hall, November 12-16, and from the general interest taken and the excel- lent quality of the blooms and plants shown was decidedly superior to that of former years; the keenness ot the com- petition in several classes may be better understood when it is known that the difference between first and second prises was only half a point. The hall was laid out to the best advantage and the groups of orchids of which there were never finer in Canada occupied a prominent position.

Nathan Smith & Son's (Adrian, Mich.) entire entry complete in the cut chrysan- themum section arrived 2 4 hours late; there were some very fine blooms amongst this shipment which would have made considerable difference in the awards. Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, sent an ex- hibit of their new red carnation O. P. Bassett; after being in a warm Pullman car for so long a journey the flowers did not open up in the best of shape. Vaug- lian's Seed Store. Chicago, sent a chrysan- themum plant which was made up of 25 different Varieties which had been grafted on. Some of the visitors were T. McHugh, Thos. Gorman and Wm. Wilshire, Mon- treal : R. H. Wright, H. A. Hay and Chas. Scrim, Ottawa, Que.; A. H. Ewing, Wood- stock ; S. A. Anderson and S. B. Long, Buffalo, N. T.; A. T. Morgan and Watt Holt. Hamilton. The judges were Wm. Wiltshire, S. A. Anderson, Chas. Tidy and Herman Simmons. The following is the list of awards; CHRYSANTHEMUMS PLANTS. Specimen, any or sized pot— Allan Gardens, fir
