FLOWER SHOW

FINE DISPLAY AT BROOKLYN.

THE PRIZE-WINNERS.

A creditable display was made at the . seventh annual snow of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society, opened at St. Matthew’s Schoolroom yesterday after- 1 noon and to be continued to-day. Chrysanthemums wore well represented, especially taking into consideration the fact -.hat the lateness of the blooms this year prevented a number of would-be exhibitors coming forward. The blooms generally were first-class. The vegetable section was also a strong one, and the judge remarked on the general excellence of the exhibits. There was a large nrmber of entries in the ‘homo section” : and the exhibits as a whole were admirable, showing a marked improvement, stated the judge, on those of former yeans. There ivas very keen competition in most of the classes. The knitting work and fancy work also shoved improvementTin following is the list of prizewinners :
