In addition to the premiums offered 

 in the preliminary list, J. B. Valentine, 

 of the Park Floral Co.. Denver, Col., 

 offers $25 in cash for the best twelve 

 blooms of one variety of an undissem- 

 inated seedling, shown by the originator. 

 All varieties are excluded that are 

 shown in classes requiring a larger num- 

 ber than twelve blooms, but competition

 hibitor from showing the same variety 

 in Class If. or any similar class that 

 may hereafter be added requiring but 

 twelve blooms or less of a variety to be 

 shown. 



Parties having promising seedlings 

 With a limited number of plants will do 

 well to note this premium and if not

 January 1. so as to get the needed in 

 formation for making out: 



"A BRIGHT SPOT." 



Are you coming to the convention? 

 You have but a few weeks to deliberate 

 on this important question, but you 

 should not lose a moment's time hesitat- 

 ing about this great event. 



It is an assured fact that every able- 

 bodied florist is coming and the florists' 

 business will be at a standstill all over 

 the country, except at Milwaukee, where 

 there will be something doing. YYra can- 

 not afford to miss this opportunity of 

 meeting your brethren in the trade, ex- 

 ■ ii.i nu i ii u nolo, ami l.aiewiiiL: aequaini- 

 ances. The east is coming strung and 

 New York is already talking carload 

 lots, both in exhibits and human freight. 

 Now let the west and south re-pond 

 from each and every hamlet and we will 

 have one of the greatest gatherings of 

 florists in the history of the society. 



The entries in the trade exhibit are ex- 

 ceptionally larsre and our spacious con- 

 vention ball will be Tilled with I 

 novelties in our line. This feature alone 

 is worth coming miles to see. The vari- 

 ous committees of the Milwaukee Flor- 

 ists' Club are perfecting plans for the 

 comfort of every visitor. i h 

 tainment committee is completing ar- 

 rangements which will take the cares off 

 your business at least for the time be- 

 ing. The ladies' day committee will 



look after the welfare of the ladies in a 

 way that will please them. The bowling 

 committee promises a cool temperature 

 but a hot time. Tiie Olympia alle/s, 

 where the bowlers will bold sway, are 

 perfection. There are twelve alleys, all 

 under one roof, with plenty of light and 

 fresh air and sufficient room to accom- 

 modate a large crowd of spectators. 

 There will be such a large entrv that 

 there will he no chance to lose, so don't 

 fail to enter a team. The more the mer- 



Tbe hotels of Milwaukee are many in 

 number, both on the American and Eu- 

 ropean plans. The faet of the hotel ca- 

 pacity of our city being so great and 

 the solid comfort offered by these host 1- 



lii giving to our city a reputation as an 

 ideal place for holding the convention. 

 If you wish to reserve accommodations
