Canadian Horticultural Association. The annual exhibition of the Cana- lian Horticultural Association in the ■ U. Lawrence arena November 14-18 vas the most successful in the history if the association. The flowers, fruit nd honey displayed were all up to the lighest point of excellence and it is loubtful if finer exhibits are put up anywhere. Thousands of boxes of fruit vorked into intricate designs, beauti- ul groups of chrysanthemum and foli- ige plants, large vases of flowers and the many floral designs and eight deco- rated tables made an effect which is hard to describe. In chrysanthemum plants there were specimen plants shown by Sir Henry Pellatt grown in 10-inch pots with 2.50 blooms, and in cut blooms. R. Jennings had them 11 inches across. The Dale Estate staged some fine American Beauties and a vase of well grown Mrs. Aaron Ward. The competition in many classes was very keen and the placing of the awards was no easy matter. Charles Sandiford and S. A. Anderson of Buf- falo were the judges. Among the visitors were H. Frank Darrow, New York; Arthur Zirkman, Philadelphia; P. S. McKenna, Mon- treal; R. H. Wright.
