 bert Woltemate, Albert Schmidt, Chas. 

 A. Knapp, D. Landreth & Sons, and H.

In the vegetable classes there was an 

 interesting display, and numerous 

 prizes were awarded. 



CINCINNATI. 



The first monthly exhibition given by 

 the Cincinnati Florists' Society was held 

 in the club rooms at the flower market 

 last Saturday afternoon and evening. 

 The display was a creditable one, com- 

 posed chiefly of chrysanthemums, al- 

 though some good roses and carnations 

 were to be seen. Albert Sunderbruch 

 served as judge and awarded the follow- 

 ing prizes: 



Best 12 pink mums, W. G. Rodgers, for 

 Mrs. Perrin. 



Best 12 yellow mums, the E. G. Hill 

 Co., for W. H. Lincoln. 



Best 12 blooms, 12 varieties, the E. G. 

 Hill Co. 



The E. G. Hill Co. also exhibited a 

 new pink mum, Mary Hill, which was 

 recommended for a certificate, and a new 

 red rose. Marquise Litta. 



The special prize of $10.00 offered by 

 Albert Sunderbruch for the best vase of 

 Bonnaffon, was awarded to Geo. Bayer, 

 of Toledo, Ohio. 



The special prize of $5.00 offered by 

 E. G. Gillett for best 12 blooms, any 

 color, was awarded to Hill on Mayflower. 



George & Allan took first on Brides, 



Maids and Meteors. They also had a 

 display of mums, valley, narcissus and 

 Romans. 



Joseph R. Goldman, of Middletown, 

 Ohio, took first on Perles. 



There were no entries on carnations. 



R. Witterstaetter had several vases 

 which showed up fine, especially the En- 

 quirer. Other varieties were Estelle, 

 Lawson, and 723A, a beautiful white. 

 Dick also had a vase of Bonnaffon that 

 was all right. 



Nathan Smith & Son exhibited their 

 new yellow chrysanthemum, Mrs. Elmer 

 D. Smith, which was recommended for a 

 certificate. 



The Floral Exchange sent a vase of 

 the new rose, Queen of Edgely. It is of 

 the type of the American Beauty, but a 

 lighter shade. B. 



MONTREAL. 



The annual chrysanthemum show was 

 a success as a display, but the wretched 

 weather made it a failure financially. It 

 was opened by Lord Strathcona, assisted 

 by many well known people. 



In the plant classes first prizes were 

 awarded to F. C. Smith, William Whit- 

 man, C. A. Smith, W. G. Pascoe, G. A. 

 Robinson and J. Pidduck. 



In miscellaneous plants firsts were 

 taken by Wilshire Bros., Jos. Bennett, 

 F. C. Smith, W. J. Wilshire, John Walsh, 

 C. A. Smith, Geo. Robinson and R. W. 

 Whiting. 



In cut chrysanthemums firsts went to 



W. J. Wilshire, T. McHugh and W. H. 

 Horobin. In roses and carnations the 

 winners of firsts were W. H. Horobin 

 and P. McKenna & Son. In decorations 

 first honors were taken by Wilshire Bros, 

 and Jos. Bennett. 



INDIANAPOLIS, EMD. 



The exhibition of chrysanthemums, 

 etc., at the horticultural rooms in the 

 state house, given by the State Florists' 

 Association, Nov. 14, was a grand affair. 

 The quality of the blooms were unsur- 

 passed and the competition in most of the 

 classes was very keen, and those who 

 were lucky enough to win premiums cer- 

 tainly deserve them. 



H. W. Rieman won first for market 

 plants in 6 and 8 inch pots; 6 blooms, 6 

 varieties; 10 blooms, 10 varieties, and 25 

 blooms in variety. E. Hukriede, first for 

 single stems, and for 6 blooms of W. H. 

 Lincoln. West View Floral Co., Knights- 

 town, Ind., first for 6 blooms white; 6 

 blooms pink and 6 blooms any other 

 color. G. Teilman, Marion, Ind., first for 

 25 blooms, one variety. W. W. Coles, 

 Kokomo, Ind., first for 10 white roses; 

 10 pink roses; 10 roses any other color; 

 25 pink carnations and for vase of 25 

 roses arrangement considered. J. W. 

 Bernard, Marion, Ind., first for 25 white 

 carnations; 25 red and 25 any other 

 color.
