A Special Award was given to the New York Botanic Garden for their outstanding exhibit of rhododendrons and azaleas. An added attraction in our show was a "Conversation Table." This was a noncompetitive exhibit for trusses and sprays of general interest, including varieties grown under glass and other varieties which were nearly out of season but were no longer suitable for competition.
