Brilliant Exhibition Auspl lciously Opened
Last Evening Features of the Exhibition
Award of Prizes-To-day's Exhibitions.
The ninth annual exhibition of the
New Haven Chrysanthemum club was
opened very auspiciously in the Second
regiment armory last evening.
The display of potted and cut chrys-
anthemums is very beautiful, being in
many respects the finest ever made here.
An especially fine view of the flowers
may be obtained from the galleries,
where one looks down, as it were, upon
a large garden of plants in which the
numerous varieties and color of the
plants themselves are given a heighten-
ed beauty by their artistic arrangement.
Anything like monotony in the display
has been avoided by the use of ever
green and palms, which blend very pret-
tily with the flowers and foliage of the
plants themselves. The display is well
worth the attention of not only chrysan-
themum lobbyists, but all other lovers
of flowers.
The judges who awarded the prizes
were R. G. Hanford of South NorWalk,
Morris A. Hull of Ansonia and David
Saunders of Whitneyville.
In the one class open to florists only
first prize of $12 was awarded to John H,
Slocombe of the Mitchell place of East
Haven.
In the class open to gardeners and
amateurs only the first prize of $12 was
awarded to Lawrence o. Farrell, Mr..
Sargent's gardener. This display, which
consists of six plants of six varieties IS
the finest and largest ever grown in this
city, and not only took first prize but
was given special mention by the judges.
John Galligan, Miss Hillhouses gard
ener, also had a very fine display in this
class, and won first prize in the pink
class.
In the open to all classes the prize
winners were class II, three pompoms,
three varieties, first prize, j. Galligan;
second priz, j. H. Slocombe.
Glass 12-First prize, Mrs. Sargent's
gardener l.. o. Farrell. This was an es-
pecially fine plant, nothing like it as to

of the yellow variety, has over 400 flow
ers upon it.

The judges had more difficulty in de-
Gliding the winner in this class than in
any other class in the hall.
P. G. Flynn brought in a fine lot of
plants too late for classification. I'm
doubtedly some of these would nave
been prize winners had they been enter
ed in time. Three yellow plants were
especially fine in this collection
Another fine display by Robert Veitch
& Son, not in competition, consisted of
fancy stove house plants and Chinese
primulas. Plants were donated to the
club to be sold for the clubs benefit
by Mrs. Prof. Dexter, Mrs. J. B. Sar-
gent, Mrs. o. F. Winchester, Mrs. Prof.
Salisbury, Mrs. z. Henry Barnes. and
Mrs. Scranton. The display by florist
of plants for sale is larger and hand
somer than ever before.
Champion & Co. display a fine lot of
palms which forms center piece for
the armory
The flowers which attracted the most
attention were those of the Philadelphia
variety shown by A. N. Pierson. They
are of the variety which won first prize
in London last year.
The show will continue to-day and to-
morrow. Open from 10 a. m to 10 o. m.
