The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBER ".. 1899. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Dahlia Congress. 



The congress of American dahlia 

 growers was opened at 10 o'clock Tues- 

 day morning in the convention hall of 

 the Exposition. Owing, however, to 

 the fact that carpenters were still at 

 work on the building, the first session 

 was postponed till the following morn- 

 ing. 



The hammering of the workmen did 

 not, however, interfere with the mag- 

 nificent exhibition of cut blooms. The 

 display completely filled the ball and 

 constituted one of the <rnost interesting 

 features of the Exposition. Nearly a 

 hundred thousand blooms were taste- 

 fully arranged in vases on the display 

 tables, while the columns and walls 

 were almost wholly concealed by many 

 varieties of decorative plants. 



One of the attractions was a long 

 tank containing a large collection of 

 water lilies in great variety and other 

 aquatics, exhibited by H. A. Dreer. 



W. P. Peacock was the largest ex- 

 hibitor of dahlias, he showing several 

 hundred varieties, including many new 

 ones. W. Atlee Burpee. H. F. Michel! 

 and W. H. Maule also made excellent 

 displays. 



Following are the awards made by 

 the judges, Messrs. James Campbell 

 and Harold Otter: 



Burpee prizes, limited to amateurs, 

 largest ami best display, best collection 

 12 blooms, 12 varieties, and best arranged 

 vase for decorative effect, Thomas Hol-
