EXHlBITlON-wELL KNOWN PEOPLE
AMONG THE PRIZE WINNERS
The first annual exhibition of the Tarrytown
horticultural Society. which was in Music Hall, In
IarrytoWn-on-the-Hudson, on Friday. came
successful close last night. Although the society
has been organized only few months the efforts
OF Its members to create a successful flower show
were more than realized. This is attributed TO two
causes first the country around Tarrytown is
recognized horticultural centre and second the
wealthy people manifested interest in the affair.
and In addition to contributing toward its success
they permitted their florists and gardeners TO grow
special exhibits for the show Consequently there
has been a friendly rivalry between some OF the
residents. as well as the florists. and as a result
Of the latter's labors what is claimed to be the
finest floral exhibit ever held in New-York State
has been produced
Since the show opened Music Hall has been
scene OF exquisite beauty. The multitude OF coors
produced by the display including five hundred
varieties OF chrysanthemums, seventy-hve Of
carnations and fifty Of roses has been a feast
for the eye. More than $4,000 represented at
the show. and the plants came from every
part OF the globe.
