A popular college and community tradition since the beginning of this century, the Chrysanthemum Show will feature a variety of mums, including hybrids produced in Smith horticulture classes as long ago as the 1930s, as well as those begun as seedlings by last year's students. Highlighting the show are the cascade chrysanthemums, which are grown in the Japanese manner on a flat surface and hang down about four feet over the edge of the pot. In bloom, the cascade chrysanthemum appears to be a blanket of color. Because their training is laborious and time-consuming, cascades are a rare sight in this country. 4 p.m. daily.
Admission is free.
