THE ANNUAL
FLOWER SHOW
CONTINUED FROM FIRST rAeE


possible form from single potted
plants to the huge bank which was
exhibited by d. H. McAlpin and con-
tained nearly one hundred plants.
Although the orchestra played all
the evening, it was impossible for
those on the main floor to see where
they were playing, as the stage was
screened for several feet in height
by chrysanthemums, with back
ground of ferns, which made a beau
tiful exhibit and at the same time
served a useful purpose.
The estate of D Willis James and
Louis Thebaud both took first prizes
for non towering plants. There were
also several exhibits of prize-taking
vegetables, one of the most notable
being bushel basket of potatoes
shown by George Woodruff, of Green
Village, containing thirty-seven poto-
toes OF enormous size.
D. H. McAlpin. of Morristown, prac-
tically monopolized the chrysanthe-
mum show, not alone in the number
of exhibits which he had, but also in
tn number of first prizes which he
carried off. When size was to be con-
sidered he seemed to have the larg-
est: where beauty of color was the
object his plants seemed to have the
softest tints, or the greatest variety
of color His exhibits we're minia-
ture flower show in themselves, and
had that same classical appearance
which is predominant at the N W
York flower show.
Honors were also shared with O..
II. Kahn and Chas. H. Totty, of Madi-
son, both of whom had numerous prize
winning exhibits.
The perfume of the flowers, the beau
tiful array of color, and excellent mu-
sic all combined to help spectators
make believe they were spending
few hours in some fairyland of which
they had read.
The flowers were unusually beauti-
full this year, as the weather, has been
perfect for rare and healthful blooms.
The officers and committees were
showered with congratulations.
