CHAPTER XII
Horticulture Exhibit and Schedule of Awards
HORTICULTURE EXHIBIT
By CHARLES H. VICK
Superintendent of Horticulture
[Illustration]
At a meeting of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission of the
State of New York, held June 10, 1903, Charles H. Vick, of Rochester,
N.Y., was appointed as Superintendent of Horticulture, and an
appropriation of $15,000 was made for the exhibit in that department.
This amount was subsequently increased to $20,000. The work was
inaugurated July first, and offices were opened at 46 Elwood building,
Rochester, N.Y.
METHODS OF SOLICITING FRUIT
Many hundred letters were mailed to the fruit growers of the State
soliciting the donation of fruit for an exhibit at St. Louis. The number
of replies received was so small that it was necessary again to
circularize the growers offering to pay a reasonable price for
exhibition fruit. Even this offer did not bring forth anything like a
sufficient quantity of fruit to make a suitable exhibit. The State was
then divided into six sections and competent men appointed to canvass
thoroughly each section and buy fruit. A large collection of fine
specimens of fruit were procured by this method, and as a result of this
canvass exhibits were procured from every fruit growing county in the
State. This fruit was all collected at the Gleason cold storage
warehouse at Brighton, near Rochester, N.Y., and on December 1, 1903, a
shipment of two cars, containing four hundred barrels of apples,
fifty-five bushel boxes of pears and forty baskets of grapes were
forwarded to the Mound City cold storage warehouse at St. Louis.
LOCATION OF EXHIBIT
The exhibit was housed in the Palace of Horticulture, which, although
located in a somewhat remote part of the grounds, received its full
share of Exposition visitors, all of whom were deeply interested in the
magnificent displays of fruit found there.
The State of New York was assigned 4,000 square feet of space
advantageously located near the northeast corner of the building. To the
west were the exhibits of Illinois and Missouri, and to the east those
of Minnesota and Washington, while Colorado bounded New York on the
south and Pennsylvania on the north. In August, New York was assigned
the space surrendered by Pennsylvania, approximately 1,200 square feet,
to accommodate the large exhibit of grapes from the Central New York
growers and from the Chautauqua Grape and Wine Association.
THE INSTALLATION
The space included three distinct sections, Nos. 40, 41 and 43,
completely surrounded by aisles, thus affording an excellent opportunity
of viewing the exhibit from all sides. On account of this an open
installation was erected. Around section 43 was thrown an open facade,
consisting of columns supporting a handsome cornice, which bore the coat
of arms of the State and the words "The State of New York" on each side.
On the cornice rested fifteen fine specimens of Boston ferns.
The fruit was displayed upon tables of varying lengths and from three to
four feet in width. In the center of this space was the office of the
Superintendent. Sections 40 and 41 were within the zone in which low
installation was required by the Exposition authorities, so that no
facade was erected in these sections, the name of the State being shown
upon handsome ornamental gilt signs, placed upon the tables and
suspended over the exhibit. The entire installation was of white enamel,
kept spotlessly clean. The plates used were of special design. The
center was white, with the monogram in green letters, "L. P. E., 1904,"
and a wide green border, with a gold band. The white and green furnished
a most appropriate background for the varicolored fruit and the effect
was most pleasing as the eye swept over the whole exhibit.
A WORD OF COMMENDATION
On the opening day of the Fair, April thirtieth, New York's exhibit of
fruit was complete in every detail. In fact of the thirty-five States,
Canada and Mexico represented, New York was the only State to have its
exhibit installed and ready for exhibition when the doors of the Palace
of Horticulture were thrown open to the public, which called forth a
special word of commendation from the Chief of the Department of
Horticulture, Honorable F. W. Taylor. Owing to the fact that at that
time the other States were not prepared to make a display, it was deemed
inadvisable to exhibit a large number of varieties, so that while the
entire space was covered with fruit, the exhibit consisted of but
thirty-one varieties of apples, ten of pears and three of grapes, as
follows:
Apples: Fallawater, Swarr, Golden Russet, Snow,
Belleflower, Sweet Russet, Cline's Red, Red Rock, Holland
Pippin, Hubbardston Nonesuch, Deacon Jones,
Judson, Sklanka Bog, Peach, Sutton Beauty, Flower of
Genesee, Baldwin, Lady, Kirkland Pippin, Greening,
Spitzenburg, Northern Spy, Walbridge, Seek-no-Further,
McIntosh, Grimes' Golden, Wagener, Mann, Roxbury,
Russet, King, Canada Red
Pears: Kieffer, Duchess, Vergalieu, Josephine, Diel,
Beurre d'Anjou, Beurre Bosc, Lawrence, Mt. Vernon,
Beurre Clairgeau
Grapes: Virgennes, Diana, Catawba
A HIGH STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
From the opening to the close of the Fair, December first, New York's
exhibit of fruit was maintained at a uniformly high standard of
excellence. The total number of varieties of fruit exhibited was as
follows:
Apples ......... 424 varieties
Cherries ....... 31 "
Currants ....... 4 "
Gooseberries ... 1 "
Grapes ......... 150 "
Pears .......... 152 "
Plums .......... 129 "
Quinces ........ 8 "
Peaches ........ 14 "
Strawberries ... 1 "
The Empire State far outstripped her sister States as to number of
varieties of fruit, displaying twice as many varieties of apples, pears
and plums, and more than three times as many varieties of grapes as her
nearest competitor, and this be it said, in a display of fruits never
before equaled either in size, variety or quality.
RECORD OF ENTRIES
Over 2,000 individual entries of fruit were made during the season, and
as all of the fruit was entered twice, once for the general collection
of the State and again for the grower, the total number of entries was
nearly five thousand. An accurate record was kept of all entries, the
following information being carefully tabulated:
The name and address of the exhibitor.
Date of removal from cold storage.
Date placed upon the table.
Date of removal from the table.
Remarks concerning its condition.
FRUIT of 1904
The new fruit of the fall of 1904, while free from rust and of good
color, was somewhat smaller in size than the fruit of 1903; nevertheless
it made a grand display, and from the opening to the close of the Fair
from 2,000 to 2,500 plates of fruit, including never less than 150
varieties of apples, were admired by the thousands of visitors.
APPLES
The apples placed in cold storage at St. Louis in December of 1903 were
found to be in almost perfect condition when opened in April, and, with
a few exceptions, continued so throughout the season. Most of the apples
were wrapped first in tissue and then in oiled paper and firmly packed
in barrels well lined with corrugated paper, with excelsior cushions in
each end.
Owing to the fact that so much depends upon the condition of fruit when
picked, and the necessity of placing it in cold storage as soon as
picked, it was a difficult matter to make a comparative test of the
keeping qualities of the different varieties. For instance, of two
different collections of Baldwins (one of the best keepers), placed on
the tables at the same time, one lot held up in perfect condition for
several weeks while the other went down in as many days.
The varieties showing the best keeping qualities were Baldwin,
Spitzenberg, Russet, Northern Spy and Canada Red. These varieties were
kept in cold storage and placed on the tables as late in the season as
November fifteenth, when they were found to have retained their color,
firmness and flavor.
Some of the fall varieties, which are ordinarily supposed to be poor
keepers, came out of cold storage in perfect condition and kept
remarkably well after being placed on the tables. Among these the
Alexander, Fallawater, Holland Pippin, McIntosh and Rome Beauty were the
best.
A collection of Fallawaters from W.R. Fitch, of Rushville, N.Y., were
placed on the tables April twenty-ninth, when they attracted
considerable attention on account of their unusual size and fine color,
and remained in splendid condition for weeks. While somewhat shriveled
and dried up, they showed no signs of decay when removed from the tables
July twentieth. The same is true of a collection of Holland Pippins and
McIntoshes placed on exhibition at the same time.
A collection of Alexanders from J.B. Collamer, of Hilton, will serve as
an illustration of the advantages of picking at the proper time,
handling with care and placing in cold storage immediately. These apples
were exhibited for a week at the State Fair held at Syracuse in
September of 1903. They were then wrapped, packed and sent to St. Louis,
where they were kept in cold storage until June twenty-sixth, when they
were placed on exhibition until after the visit of Governor Odell, June
twenty-ninth. On June thirtieth they were rewrapped and repacked and
sent back to cold storage until a few days before the State Fair at
Syracuse in September of 1904, when they were shipped to Syracuse and
again exhibited for a week. At the close of the State Fair they were
again returned to St. Louis and exhibited for two weeks.
The Newtown Pippin is another variety which showed excellent keeping
qualities. On August twelfth a collection of forty-six plates from Henry
D. Lewis, of Annandale, was taken out of cold storage and placed on
exhibition. They held up in good condition until the thirtieth of
August, during the hottest weather of the season.
The Greenings, while large in size, of fine color, and apparently in
perfect condition when packed, invariably came out of cold storage badly
scalded and discolored. In fact, there were only three or four lots
which were entirely free from scald.
In September, large additions of new fruit were made to the exhibit from
individual growers, and also from the New York Agricultural Experiment
Station at Geneva.
George W. Anderson, Charles N. Baker, Samuel J. Wells and T.H. King are
among the exhibitors who deserve special mention for the quality and
extent of their exhibits.
A complete list of the 424 varieties of apples exhibited appears
following the list of exhibitors.
GRAPES
The grape industry of New York had adequate and successful
representation at the St. Louis Exposition, as a department of the
general Horticultural Exhibit. This industry in New York is one of large
and steadily increasing importance. The State ranks second only to
California in the production of grapes, and the showing made in the
Horticulture building was a revelation to thousands of visitors who
there obtained their first knowledge of the extent of the viticulture
industry in New York.
This sign was conspicuously displayed over the exhibit of grapes:
"NEW YORK LEADS IN TABLE GRAPES
"600,000 acres; 30,000,000 vines; crop worth $2,763,711
annually."
These figures are from census reports, and represent an advance of 198
per cent in the industry over its condition as represented at the
Columbian Exposition in 1893. There is scarcely another such record of
increase in the whole range of industries of the United States.
No attempt was made to show viticulture in any other way than by its
product, but an almost continuous display of grapes was kept on the
tables from the opening of the Exposition to its close. This in itself
was a noteworthy achievement, for it included a display of cold storage
grapes from the crop of 1903 up to the second week of July, 1904,
something never before attempted. A display of forced fruit and early
varieties began shortly after that date.
A collection of hot-house grapes grown by Mr. David M. Dunning, of
Auburn, was an interesting feature of the grape exhibit and amazed
crowds of visitors on account of their size and handsome appearance. The
varieties were Barbarossa and Muscat Hamburg. One cluster of the latter
variety weighed nine pounds and measured seventeen inches in length,
exclusive of stem. This collection of grapes far surpassed anything of
the kind shown in the Horticulture building, not even excepting
California specimens.
The varieties in cold storage were as follows: Catawba, Diana, Iona,
Isabella, Niagara, Salem and Virgennes. Of these varieties, the Catawba
and Virgennes kept the longest. They were taken from cold storage July
third and placed upon exhibition for a week, at the end of which time
they were found to have retained their color and flavor perfectly. This
was fully one month later than grapes were preserved at the Pan-American
Exposition, notwithstanding the difference in distance between Buffalo
and St. Louis from the vineyards. The Diana and Iona were close seconds
in keeping qualities, while the Isabella rattled badly and the Niagara
showed discoloration, though both retained fairly good flavor.
The display proper of the 1904 crop began early in September. This
display was entirely made up of fruit contributed by the growers of the
Chautauqua and Keuka Lake districts. These two districts were
represented about in proportion to their acreages and products.
The grapes were well wrapped in paper and packed in a new style paper
grape basket, furnished by Mullen Bros. Paper Company, of St. Joseph,
Michigan. These baskets were packed in spring crates, and the grapes,
with a very few exceptions, carried in perfect condition.
The grape exhibit was made adjacent to the rest of the New York exhibit.
The tables afforded room for about 2,000 plates. The display was made up
largely of Concord, Catawba, Niagara, Virgennes, Campbell Early and
other commercial varieties.
The rarer varieties, however, were not neglected, as will be seen from
the list of one hundred and fifty varieties appearing elsewhere.
PEARS
In October of 1903, fifty-five bushel boxes of pears were placed in cold
storage to be used for the Exposition. Of this number, twenty-five boxes
were purchased from David K. Bell, of Brighton, and the balance came in
single bushels from some of the best growers of the State. The pears,
like the apples, were wrapped first in heavy tissue paper and then in
oiled paper.
The following is a list of the varieties kept in cold storage: Beurre
d'Anjou, Beurre Bosc, Beurre Clairgeau, Beurre Diel, Angouleme,
Columbia, Duchess, Howell, Josephine of Malines, Kieffer, Lawrence, Mt.
Vernon, Rutter and Vergalieu.
On April twenty-fifth, when the boxes were examined and a selection made
for the opening day, the Duchess was found in poorer condition than any
of the other varieties. Notwithstanding this fact, a continuous exhibit
of Duchess pears was made until May thirtieth. All the other varieties
were in prime condition, and were displayed in lots of fifty plates
until May twenty-sixth, when one grand exhibit was made, consisting of
four hundred plates of fifteen varieties. This display continued in good
condition until the sixteenth of June, in spite of the extreme hot
weather at that time, the Anjou, Angouleme, Bosc, Clairgeau, Columbia,
Howell and Kieffer keeping extremely well until that date.
The display in the fall of 1904 attracted a great deal of attention, not
alone from visitors, but also from the superintendents of horticulture
from the other States and from fruit growers in general. On September
nineteenth, one hundred and forty-two varieties were exhibited from
Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester; on September twenty-first, twenty
varieties were exhibited from David K. Bell, of Brighton, in addition to
the general display from almost every section of the State, making an
exhibit of pears never before equaled.
A complete list of the one hundred and fifty-two varieties of pears
exhibited will be found following the list of exhibitors.
PLUMS
As the result of a bountiful plum crop, the display of this luscious and
popular fruit was unusually large and fine. The first shipment,
consisting of Early Red June, was received from F. E. Dawley, of
Fayetteville, on August fifth, and from that time until September
twenty-sixth, additions were made almost daily. One hundred and
twenty-eight varieties, arrayed on hundreds of plates, and occupying
nearly a third of the New York space, compelled the attention and
admiration of every passer-by. And indeed, it was an attractive sight,
from the stand-point of color alone, comprising, as it did, nearly every
shade of green, yellow, purple, blue, orange and red.
The varieties attracting the most attention were Abundance, Arch Duke,
Burbank, Coe's Golden Drop, Grand Duke, Quackenboss and St. Lawrence.
The display of Burbank was the largest and finest ever shown, the best
two lots coming from Fred H. Teats, of Williamson, and T. H. King, of
Trumansburg.
Splendid collections were also received from F. E. Dawley, of
Fayetteville, consisting of eleven varieties; S. D. Willard, of Geneva,
twenty-three varieties; New York Agricultural Experiment Station, at
Geneva, one hundred and five varieties.
A total of one hundred and twenty-eight varieties were exhibited; all of
the varieties are listed following the list of exhibitors.
CHERRIES
Thirty-one varieties of cherries were exhibited, the largest exhibit
coming from the New York Agricultural Experiment Station. No other State
excelled in number of varieties.
See the list following the list of exhibitors.
PEACHES
New York's peach crop was not up to the usual standard, being more or
less infected with rust and lacking in color. It was also found to be a
difficult matter to get shipments to St. Louis in good condition.
There were liberal quantities of such varieties as were shown, a list of
which appears following the list of exhibitors.
QUINCES
The crop of 1904 was unusually small and inferior in quality.
Nevertheless a fairly good exhibit was made.
The varieties shown appear following the list of exhibitors.
CURRANTS
It was impossible to make a general display of small fruits, owing to
the distance from New York to St. Louis. Four varieties of currants were
shown, however, the Perfection Currant, from C. G. Hooker, of Rochester,
excelling in size, quality and flavor any currant exhibited.
A list of varieties appears following the list of exhibitors.
GOOSEBERRIES
The gooseberry crop was a total failure in New York, and only one small
exhibit was made of the Downing.
STRAWBERRIES
It was the intention to make a large exhibit of strawberries, and
arrangements were partially made with Mr. L. J. Farmer, of Pulaski, to
collect this exhibit, but owing to the very poor condition of shipments
received from Illinois, Missouri and other nearby States, the plan was
abandoned, as it was feared that the berries would be spoiled in
transit. One exhibit, however, was made. This was the Ryckman strawberry
and came from G. E. Ryckman, of Brocton. Owing to extreme care in
packing, this small exhibit came in fairly good condition, and excited
much comment on account of its size, color, fine flavor and prolific
production.
PLANTS AND FLOWERS
The exhibit of plants and flowers was, for the most part, made out of
doors in beds, which were attractively laid out in the grounds
surrounding the Horticulture and Agriculture buildings. The extent of
the grounds afforded opportunity for the massing of the different
varieties of hardy plants, such as roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and also
of the newer varieties of cannas and geraniums. In the conservatory
adjoining the Horticulture building proper were exhibited fine
collections of ferns and a large display of gladiolas, and also one of
peonies.
SOME GRATIFYING COMPARISONS
The following statistics from the United States census of 1903 may be of
interest:
New York leads in the production of fruit, exclusive of subtropical
fruits. Twelve and one-tenth per cent of the fruit production of the
United States is in New York.
Orchard fruit of 1903 was valued at $10,542,272
Grapes of 1903 were valued at 2,763,711
Small fruits of 1903 were valued at 2,538,363
The following table will give an idea of the extensive cultivation of
small fruits:
Acres Product-quarts
Raspberries 12,376 17,575,530
Strawberries 7,311 13,846,860
Currants 2,594 4,584,080
Blackberries 2,060 3,167,090
Other berries 710 862,107
Number of vines Product-pounds
Grapes 29,636,316 247,689,056
From the following a comparison may be drawn between the number of trees
and apple product of the two leading apple states:
Number of trees Product-bushels
New York 15,054,832 24,111,257
Missouri 20,040,399 6,496,436
The average number of apple trees per farm in the United States was
74.5; the same for New York was 86.2. The average production in bushels
per farm in the United States was 64.8; the same for New York was 138.1.
A considerable proportion of the trees in Missouri, quoted above, are
young trees, and the relative products will soon show far different
results unless New York fruit growers awake to the situation. In all of
the western fruit growing states the annual planting of young trees is
rapidly increasing, a precaution which our fruit growers are not taking
to any great extent. Moreover, the lack of interest on the part of New
York growers in expositions and the opportunity there afforded for
advertising the superiority of New York products is a subject for
comment. It is in marked contrast to the interest and progressive spirit
of the growers in the western states who never lose such an opportunity,
and are gradually working into the front ranks of fruit production. In
many of the western states no public funds nor machinery were provided
for a horticultural exhibit at St. Louis, but very creditable exhibits
were prepared, the entire expense of the same being borne by fruit
growers' associations. In marked contrast is a rather unfortunate
precedent heretofore adopted in the State of New York, and of necessity
followed at St. Louis, viz.: That the State, in order to obtain a
creditable exhibit, must pay a fancy price for fruit for exhibition
purposes and allow the seller to receive the award upon fruit which is
no longer his own property.
THE STAFF
In addition to the superintendent the staff connected with the
department consisted of James G. Patterson, of Sheridan, assistant
superintendent; John W. Coughtry, of New Scotland, and Sherman T. Lewis,
of Johnsonburg, assistants in charge of fruit exhibit; A. M. Loomis, of
Fredonia, assistant in charge of viticulture, and Miss Bessie J.
Hutchinson, of Rochester, stenographer. One and all they served the
Commission and the State faithfully and efficiently.
AWARDS
The State received a total of 295 awards, divided as follows: A grand
prize for installation, a grand prize for the collective State exhibit
of fruit, 19 gold medals, 142 silver medals and 132 bronze medals. Owing
to the rules and regulations governing the system of awards, however,
prizes were not so freely distributed as at the World's Fair at Chicago,
or the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo. Heretofore it has always been
the custom to allow the exhibitor a medal for a collection of apples,
another for a collection of pears, another for plums, etc., while at St.
Louis only one award was allowed an exhibitor for his entire collective
exhibit. The jury in the Department of Horticulture was on duty
throughout the Exposition period, and as soon as an exhibit was placed
upon the tables it was promptly passed upon by the jury, due application
having been made.
