 The fifth annual exhibition of the New Haven County Horticultural so- ciety, which opened in the new Music hall, Court street, on Tuesday and which will remain open until tonight, has been acknowledged on all hands to be the greatest show of flowers, fruits and vegetables that has ever taken place in this city. When one gives 8 backward glance at the exhibition which inaugurated the society's exist ence five years ago and compares it with that of 1905 the progress made is so startling that R. D. Pryde, presi- dent of the association; the officers and members are to be congratulated on the laurels they have won. The society has done much in these years to cultivate the love of the growth of flowers, espe- cially among the working classes, and the present display which has been made by the amateur gardeners is con- elusive evidence that their labors have not been in vain. It has also acted as stimulus. among the professional growers and has been the means of bringing to light many new and rare i specimens of the cultured art. And these assertions can be fully verified by paying a visit to the show during to- l day and this evening. I As seen from the gallery of the hall, the display is one of great beauty. The tables with their variegated collection of cut flowers, the chrysanthemums with their gorgeous and ever changing colors, the beautiful and rare specimens of palms, ferns and other rare potted plants, the tasteful grouping of flowers and foliage, the just too lovely and handsome table of orchids, the raffia and reed basket work exhibited by sev- eral ladies, the artistic and finely ar ranged banking of flowers and plants on the platform, the tempting and ex- ce1lent display of all kinds of vegeta- bles and the luscious display of grapes which one can hardly resist tasting all these and many more, includ- ing a display of fruited branches of trees, shrubs, fruits and vines, | the best collection of which was gathered by a Boardman school boy, David E. Kydd, and which was award ed the first prize, go to make up an exhibition that would be hard to ex- eel and one that would indeed be diff flcult to equal The following are worthy of special mention: One hun dred foot group of plants and cut flow- CTS by F.
