. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. EXHIBITION OF THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 17 ^'artiiil View of the Exhibits. Toronto. The fifth annual Ontario horticultural exhibition was held in the St. Lawrence arena and the various societies were highly delighted. Unqualified success at- tended the show and. even with the very larae space, the place was crowded to its ' fullest capacity. The management deserve the greatest praise for the ar- tistic appearance of the building. From the high rafters were himg quantities of hemlock and spruce, through which w(Me intermingled large clusters of elec- tric light bulbs which when lighted much resembled a fairy scene; a musical pro- gramme each evening with all seats free kept the people longer than usual and these were thereby more able to take in the beauties of the show. The orchid groups were again the feature and at- tracted much attention thougn all exhibits had their share of the popularity. R. .Jennings of Brampton was awarded the prize for the largest bloom in the show, with a bloom of Mrs. Swinburne. The Steele-Briggs Seed Co., in the pink sec- tions, showed and won the first prize with its new W. R. Brock, a variety of large size and sturdy growth which will be dis- seminated in 'the spring. Pompons and singles were much in evidence and have become very popular. There was a large number of Visitors from out of town, but excepting one firm, all failed to bring chrysanthemums with them. The judges were Wm. Hall of Montreal and Ohas. Tidy of this .'ity. Following are the awards: CHllTSANTI-IEMUMS. Specimen any variety or sized i)ot.—H. H. Fudger. first.
