York, brought out thousands of peo-
pie from this State. The attendance
at the show yesterday was the largest
since the exhibition opened Those
in charge of the show say that this
was due to the fact that the majority
of exhibitors are from New Jersey.
In addition to the celebration of New
Jersey day yesterday. the day was
designated as Rose Day" and thou
sands of roses of all varieties were
judged.
Growers from New Jersey did not
enter their roses in the competitive
classes. The main honors were cap
tured by a. n. Pierson, of Cromwell
Gardens. Cromwell, Conn. The Pier
son exhibit received first prize for q
-'nssneral display of 1000 cut roses

in evidence in the Totty booth. Will
lam e. Trucker. general manager of
the Madison concern, stated last night

in the way of roses. and for that rea-

of comment.

hibition. Off Towering, foliage, stove
and greenhouse plants arranged for

while their display of shrubs brought
them the premier honors. In the diff
ferent classes of palms and foliage
they got a first, second and third
prize. For their display of miscel-
laneous plants they received four
first prizes and three seconds.
As whole, the flower show is
mainly New Jersey, as the exhibitors
put it. The majority of the growers
who transported their exhibition
plants to the show are New Jersey
growers AS each exhibitor has to
pay for the transportation of his own
exhibits, and the flowers are in most
cases changed daily, the aggregate
cost from this source alone was
enormous. The growers say they are
only willing to stand this expense to
give the public an idea what they are
accomplishing in the cultivation Of
plants and flowers. Although most
of the greenhouses and growers are
open for inspection. the public dodes
not take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to see the flowers as they are
raised.

guests of the New York Florists Club
at its annual banquete last night at

different Eastern States feel sure
that by next year they will have
building of their own for the flower
show
The attendance so far at this years
show Is greater than that of last
year by many thousands. Twenty
