CHICAGO. 



A steady down-pour of rain during 

 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of 

 last week caused a very slim attend- 

 ance during the first three days of the 

 chrysanthemum show. Friday and 

 Saturday were pleasant and the twa 

 large floors were then packed with 

 people, but the pleasant weather came 

 too late to enable the society to come 

 out even. There has been nothing but 

 praise for the exhibition, and even one 

 more pleasant day would have turned 

 the scale. Fortunately the Horticultu- 

 ral Society had a surplus in the 

 treasury, and though this will now 

 undoubtedly be reduced, there will 

 still be money to work with another 

 year. 



The awards up to and including 

 Wednesday appeared in our issue of 

 last week, but after we had gone to 

 press a change was made in the award 

 of the grand prize in the International 

 contest. It appeared that the dozen 

 chrysanthemum blooms entered by E. 

 G. Hill & Co. were not all within the 

 requirements of the contest and there- 

 fore the award was changed and the 

 grand prize went to Mr. James 

 Hartshorne, of the Chicago Carnation 

 Co., Joliet, 111. His varieties were 

 Mayflower, lora. Red Warrior. Mrs. 

 H. Weeks, Murdock, Chito, Viviand- 

 Morel, Mrs. Higinbotham, Philadel- 

 phia, Golden Wedding, Chas. Davis, 

 and Boule d'Or. 



A. Herrington, Madison, N. J., made 

 a display of three dozen fine blooms, 

 not for competition. There were 

 eight varieties and all were magnifi- 

 cently done. His blooms of Frank 

 Hardy were grand flowers. 



Carnations. 



Thursday was carnation day and a 

 splendid display of fiowers was made. 

 In the classes for 50 blooms Wietor 

 Bros, took first for Argyle and 

 Alaska; Bassett & Washburn for 

 Flora Hill, any other white (with 

 Mary Wood), Jubilee and Scott; Hins- 

 dale Rose Co. for McGowan; W. N. 

 Rudd for Mrs. McBurney. 



In the classes for new varietjM, 25 

 blooms, Bassett & Washburn led in 

 whites with White Cloud, W. N. Rudd 

 in dark pink with Cerise Queen, Chi- 

 cago Carnation Co. in light pink with 

 Mrs. Jas. Dean. Wietor Bros, in red 

 with Bon Ton, Chicago Carnation Co. 

 in any other color with Gold Nugget. 



In the classes for 15 blooms each, 

 James Hartshorne was first for Flora 

 Hill, Jubilee, Daybreak, Armazindy, 

 Albertini, Mrs. G. M. Bradt and Mayor 

 Pingree; Fred Bahr for McGowan, 

 Tidal Wave and Scott; South Park 

 Floral Co. for Mrs. McBurney and 

 Helen Kellar; F. R. Hills for any oth- 

 er dark pink with Argyle. For best 

 pink, introduction of 1S9S. James 

 Hartshorne was first with Argyle.

 On Friday came the contest in seed-
