PAN-AMERICAN ECHOES. 



Since retiring into "private life"' i 

 have had many communications from 

 exhibitors about their premiums, and 

 occasionally we notice a comment in the 

 trade journals, one very ambiguous and 

 ungracious one from poor "Vidi" in our 

 New York contemporary. I am not go- 

 ing to waste time to reply to such feeble 

 but uncalled for stuff. If some one at a 

 distance and not knowing the programme 

 here had offered some criticism it would 

 have been quite excusable. However, 

 it seems so much easier and agreeable 

 for some little fidgets to criticise than 

 to commend that it is a pity to hinder 

 their natural bent. 



It is quite possible that some exhibit- 

 ors may have thought that I should have 

 sent each one a report of their awards. 

 In justice to myself I must be allowed 

 to say that I received orders to "let 

 nothing out" till it was parsed on by the 

 grand jury. About October 25 a full 

 report of all awards in my department 

 was handed to Mr. F. W. Taylor, the 

 head of the Horticultural Department. 

 We went over it carefully together and 

 then left it in his charge to be passed 

 along to the jury of awards. Who they 

 were I don't know, but not horticultur- 

 ists, I am sure. From tliat day I had 

 no more authority over it or with it 

 than Mr. D. B. Long. 



The Horticultural Department was 

 dissolved on November 1. but I gladly 

 worked on till the 6th or 7th. I saw 

 that every exhibit was returned or sat- 

 isfactorily cared for and it is a source 

 of the greatest pleasure to me that I 

 have yet to hear of a single exhibit go- 

 ing astray, and .some acknowledgements 

 of my efforts to take care of exhibits to 

 the end will always be the mojt cher- 

 ished keepsakes I possess. But this is 

 perhaps egotism and all I wished to ex- 

 plain was that the award business passed 

 entirely out of my hands. 



The Pan-American financially was a 

 howling failure although a most beauti- 

 ful and artistic display, as beautiful in 

 its architecture, general plan and illum- 

 ination as the world ever saw. If they 

 had made $14,000,000 profit they would 

 not and never intended to award the 

 actual medals, and for advertising pur- 

 poses they are not needed, although some 

 exhibitors in the Horticultural Depart- 

 ment richly deserved the genuine gold 

 medal and several of them at that. 



The show business is a show business 

 and only those who have gone through 

 it know what it is. I would like to see 

 the Horticultural Department of the next 

 big fair entirely divorced from all other 

 departments for it is too clean and hon- 

 orable a business to be mixed up with 

 the general show people.

We have been enjoying a good trade 

 as a result of our ad in the Review. — 

 Cottage Greenhouses, Litchfield, 111. 



I FIND the Review a very satisfactory 

 paper. — Geo. E. Luffman, Birmingham, 

 Ala. 



Would think I was out of business if 

 I did not get the Review each week. — 

 Chas Juengel, St. Louis, Mo. 



As a Christmas present, nothing 

 would be more greatly prized than a 

 copy of the Florists' Manual, by Wm. 

 Scott. It covers the whole field of com- 

 mercial floriculture, and the price is 

 $5.00.
