Tlie Winnebago County Fair held its 

 annual pxhibition here Sept. 2nd to 6th. 

 Tlie Hoiieultural department was for 

 uuiny an important feature. The cut 

 flowers would have done great credit to 

 ii more pretentious organization. I have 

 seen in the whole of my experience one 

 exhibit containing no less than sixty- 

 eight distinct varieties of petunias. 

 Among the single kinds were varieties 

 closely resembling dipladenias in size 

 and coloring; others like giant pink 

 fringed Chinese primroses, the flowers 

 with green margins, some fringed and 

 others smooth, with blotches of deepest 

 rose, crimson and purple were equally 

 conspicuous. An immense smooth, round 

 flower five inches in diameter, of the 

 ileepcst cobalt blue (not purple) re- 

 minded one of a giant morning glory. 

 These are only a few of the distinct 

 single kinds. The double kinds presented 

 everything that seems possible. There 

 were hollyhock shapes, pseony shapes and 

 every known variety of fringing. The 

 green ground blotched, both plain and 

 fringed, made one think that some of the 

 petunia family are caricaturists. A va- 

 liety covered with hairs like Boehmer 

 chrysanthemum, pink and white, proba- 

 bly is the latest departure. 



The display of nasturtiums came next. 

 Some of the varieties were brilliant and 

 lieautiful. The later introductions must 

 very soon become as much appreciated as 

 She later introductions of sweet peas 

 liave been. 



Then came the Dianthus, and perhaps 

 no better or larger variety has been e.x- 

 iiibited, the intense claret and ruby red 

 colors being most remarkable. Of phloxes, 

 ])erennial and Drunimondii, were also 

 good, as were sweet peas, verbenas and 

 [)ansies. 



There were some good exhibits of vege- 

 tables, conspicuous among which was 

 Huckbee's beefsteak. Jlr. Buckbee is an 

 active member of the Association. His 

 many friends will be pleased to learn that 

 1)0 is surely recovering from the acci- 

 dent he met with last winter. A visit 

 to the greenhouse department found ge- 

 nial Charley' Johnson as modest and un- 

 assuming as ever. There are five or six 

 houses of chrysanthemums that are in 

 the finest possible condition. There'll be 

 something doing from Rockford in No- 

 vejnber. Carnations are in equally good 

 condition. The planting from out of 

 doors began July 17th and most of the 

 jjlants were housed before the first of 

 August. There is no stem-rot, rust or 

 sjiider. A 200 foot house of American 

 Beauties and one of the same size of 

 P>ridesmaids are far above the average.

 Dear Sir : I have used your Wire 

 Carnation Supports for the last two 

 years, in all about 12,000. They fill 

 the bill in every particular. Nothing 

 could be more satisfactory, and it 

 would give me a great ceal of pleas- 

 ure if I can bespeak a good word for 

 you to the trade, and you are at lib- 

 erty to refer to me at any time. 

 Yours very truly.

 Dear Sir:— \tier usingyour Model 

 carnation support in two of our 

 1 houses the past winter we have come 

 I to the conclusion that it is perfectly 

 I adapted to supporting carnation 

 J plaits and shall use them on all our 

 plaots the coming season. We were 

 much pleased with the simplicity, strength and neat ap- 

 pearance of the support. Yours t'uly,
