Horticultural Society's Exhibition. Friday evening, October 30, was held the opening of the 5-day chrysanthe- mum exhibition of the Horticultural Society of New York. The attendance gave promise of a record, as 3,500 more were present than on the opening night a year ago, when the total visitors for the entire show aggregated nearly 150,000. The show itself, in quantity, was below that of a year ago, but in quality it could not be surpassed. The beautiful arrangement of the large bush mums and the rose novel- ties at the grand entrance of the mu- seum was the first attractive feature to^rreet the eyes of the visitors. The i4Kense mum plants were perfect, and the grower, John Canning, was the re- cipient of many congratulations. The plants were purchased by C. C. Trepel for exhibition at his various head- quarters in the department stores. Prominent Exhibits. The orchid display was exceptionally attractive and complete. Lager & Hur- rell, in their artistic bank, used 112 plants in sixty-eight varieties, and their Vanda Arachnarite, from Borneo, was the crowning novelty. The Julius Boehrs Co., Jos. Manda and J. P. Moss- man exhibits were also magnificent, including many valuable novelties. A. N. Pierson's exhibits of the new roses, Mrs. Moorfield Storey and Fran- cis Scott Key, were much admired. The varieties of the bush mums were Graystone, which won the sweepstake prize. Wells' Late, K. F. Felton and Lady Lydia. F. Jl. Pierson's fern dis- play was as diversified and perfect as usual.
