from local growers. Mr. Kastincr exhib- 

 ited some vases of Timothy Eaton and 

 Maud Dean grown by Mr. Christensen, 

 of Eggertsville, that would be hard to 

 beat at any show in the country. 



The list of prize winners would be 

 only of local interest, but briefly is as 

 follows: C. D. Zimmerman, one 2nd and 

 two 3rd; A. J. Reichert, two 3rd; L. 

 H. Neubeck, one 2nd and one 3rd; S. A. 

 Anderson, fii-e 1st, four 2nd and three 

 3rd: Mrs. D. Newlands, one 1st; N. 

 Smith & Son, one 1st; William Scott, 

 live 1st, eight 2nd and two 3rd; W. F. 

 Kasting, two 1st, one 2nd and one 3rd; 

 C H. Keitsch, one 3rd; William Belsey, 

 one 1st; Mr. Karmuth, one 3rd. 



Messrs. C. H. Keitsch, Thomas Fitz- 

 gerald, of the Botanic Garden, and Chas. 

 L. Dole, of Lockport, did ably as judges, 

 and some of the contests were very close. 

 A few of the local florists held aloof and 

 thought it would not be worth while to 

 (feme in. They were not missed, as all 

 available floor space was filled up, and 

 next year they will see the wisdom of 

 being sociable. Mr. Tom Coleman should 

 be proud of his management of this 

 show, his first experience. 



There was only one occurrence that 

 caused a ripple of annoyance in this 

 otherwise smooth and pleasant affair. 

 Three classes of cut blooms were open 



cess that has come to him. He has 

 worked hard with hands and head and 

 few young men have stuck to business 

 as he has done. We wish him success 

 and lots of it on the corner of Main and 

 Genesee. W. S.

On Tliursday came the display of car- 

 nations, and it was undoubtedly the fin- 

 est ever seen at a fall exhibition. Some 

 thought it exceeded that at any of the 

 exhibitions of the Carnation Society. It 

 eertainl}' contained an immense number 

 of fine blooms, and the competition was 

 sharp in nearly every class. The awards 

 follow :

only to growers of Erie (our home) 

 county. However, the schedule read, 

 the meaning was that the flowers should 

 be the produce of their greenhouses. But 

 one florist received some fine flowers 

 from out of town and entered them as 

 the produce of his houses. The fraud 

 ■was so palpable that all other exhibitors 

 protested, but in vain. Unfortunately 

 none of us had visited his greenhouses 

 within a week or two, and he had re- 

 moved the soil where these flowers had 

 supposedly grown, so there was no rem- 

 nant to judge from, but we are all 

 morally and absolutely sure they were 

 grown 400 miles away. The guilty man 

 put up a good bluif. When you do 

 stoop to such a trick a good bliiff is a 

 necessary accompaniment and a long and 

 frequent practice in both makes profi- 

 ciency. The judges could not help them- 

 selves, for they judged only what they 

 saw. It is a great pity that such con- 

 temptible tricks can ever exist, and an- 

 other year they will be guardecl against. 

 W. J. Palmer & Son opened their new 

 branch or uptown store today. It is an 

 ideal corner for the business. Two sides 

 are ghtss and any one passing down Main 

 street can not but see the well-appointed 

 store. Mr. Palmer deserves all the suc-

On Friday there was a competition in 

 seedlings that brought out a great many 

 fine new ones. A light pink seedling 

 named Fiancee, sliown by F. Dorner & 

 Sons Co. and purchased from them by 

 the Chicago Carnation Co., of Joliet, 

 111., swept everything before it. An il- 

 lustration and description will be found 

 elsewhere in this issue. The awards in 

 the several classes follow, twenty blooms 

 being required in each class. No less 

 than twenty-four seedlings were entered 

 in these classes : 



Best white, F. Dorner & Sons Co., with 

 seedling No. 123 (00). 



Best red, E. T. Grave, with Elsie Mar- 

 tin.

 to Eli Cross, Grand Rapids, Mich. 



Floral Arrangements. 



The competitions on both Friday and 

 Saturday brought out large and attrac- 

 tive displays and the entries were all 

 excellent. They were a strong feature of 

 the exhibition. As all will be illustrated
