The Weekly Florists' Review. 



APRIL 27, 1S99. 



HORT. SOCIETY OF CHICAGO.]? 



The preliminary list of premiums 

 offered by the Horticultural Society of 

 Chicago, to be awarded at the annual 

 fall exhibition. Nov. 7 to 11, next, has 

 been issued, and copies may be had 

 by addressing the assistant secretary, 

 Mr. W. N. Rudd. Room 202. l.S.j Dear- 

 born street, Chicago. 



The coming exhibition of this socie- 

 ty promises to be of unusual interest, 

 and it will be held in the Auditorium, 

 one of the noted buildings of the 

 country. The vast space of this great 

 audience room, including the immense 

 stage, will all be given up to the ex- 

 hibition. Probably no exhibition of 

 plants and flowers was ever placed in 

 such handsome surroundings as will 

 be the Chicago show of 1S99. The ren- 

 tal for the five-day show will alone be 

 $5,000 and it certainly speaks well for 

 the enterprise of the management to 

 undertake an exhibition of such mag- 

 nitude. 



The International competition in 

 chrysanthemum cut blooms is repeat- 

 ed again this year and this feature 

 seems to become more prominent at 

 each exhibition. The best dozen 

 blooms from each state receives a 

 prize of $6.00, and the winner of each 

 state prize competes for the grand 

 prize of $50.00. 



DENVER, COLO. 



The scores published in the Review, 

 made by the Denver Florists' Club, 

 have been made upon alleys 36 inches 

 wide and 60 feet long from foul line 

 to first pin. We are unable to get a 

 regulation alley to bowl upon, but most 

 of the players feel confident of keep- 

 ing up their scores on regulation al- 

 leys, which we think would be far 

 more favorable as well as preferable 

 to those we now have to put up with, 

 as the pins are made from soft wood 

 and are much smaller than regulation 

 size and the balls are badly chipped, 

 which is considerable of a handicap. 



The following scores were made on 

 the evening of April 19th:
