In addition to the above there ■were 

 several dozen premiums and in most 

 cases a creditable exhibit, but as there 

 was but one exhibitor it would be tire- 

 some and stupid to repeat his name. 

 The roses grown and exhibited by Mr. 

 Kancourt and Mr. Ginther were grand, 

 and where they were beaten was only 



by the fine stuff of John Dunlop, of 

 Toronto. The Mr. Bamberg, who 

 shewed so well in chrysanthemums, 

 was the leader ol our orchestra. See 

 what a real lover of flowers can do! 

 We thought tor the pride of taking so 

 liiany premiums he would at least 

 throw in one day;, music. 



Adam Graham had little to do on 

 plants but to admire them: sorry for 

 it. Mr. Eyres, of Albany, had more 

 to ilo c!) cut flowers, etc.. and did it 

 well. W. S.

Tile weather was very disagreeable, 

 raining every day since Tuesday, and 

 consequently the attendance at the 

 Chrysanthemum Show was very mea- 

 ger. The result is the society is poor 

 financially and, judging from com- 

 ments by various florists, flower shows 

 will be a thing of the past in this city. 



The hall was tastefully decorated 

 with wild smilax, Florida moss and 

 flags. There were no overhead decora- 

 tions, the moss and smilax being used 

 to good advantage on the balconies. A 

 number of incandescent lights were 

 interspersed among the moss and smi- 

 lax in the corridors, which made a 

 very pretty effect. 



There were quite a number of out- 

 side florists in attendance, who consid- 

 ered the present exhibition one of the 

 finest, if not the finest, given in this 

 city. 



The Indiana Florists' Club enter- 

 tained visiting florists Wednesday 

 evening at the Walla Halla, bowling 

 being the principal attraction of the 

 program, James Hansen, a local flor- 

 ist, won first prize; T, Bock, second, 

 and H. Rieman, third. A very enjoy- 

 able time was had. On Thursday aft- 

 ernoon a match was made up Between 

 Ohio and Indiana floiusts, the Indiana 

 boys (sorry to say) scoring the Ohio 

 boys in fine style. 



The exhibition of roses was consid- 

 ered the best ever seen at our shows, 

 some really magnificent blooms being 

 staged. In the class calling fgr 36 

 blooms each were seen many grand 

 blooms, and this class was a decided 

 attraction. 



The carnation display was not up to 

 the standard. 



One of the features of the show were 

 the fine geraniums shown by H. Rie- 

 man in S to 10-inch pots, which were a 

 mass of bloom. 



Mr. Theo. Bock, of Hamilton, O.. 

 acted as judge of the exhibition, and 

 made the following awards: 



Plants. 



H. Rieman took first for largest sis 

 plants, second for specimen plant pink 

 with Pink Ivory, first specimen white, 

 first specimen red with Childs, first 12 

 market plants, first for 6 market 

 plants with Cullingfoi-di. second 25
