European Chrysanthemum Shows. LONDON CHRYSANTHEMUM EXHIBITION. The National Chrysanthemum Society's show was held November 10 to 12. The large trade exhibitors came out in their usual good form. Norman Davis put up a magnificent group, taking the most valuable prize offered for groups, viz.: First in the open class on a space of 300 square feet. H. J.

In the class foft^ six vases of incurved blooms Mr. Higgs sustained his reputation as the best culti- vator of this type, taking first prize with beautifully finished blooms of Lady Isobel, Hanwell Glory, C.
