 ly give us a little space in your valuable 

 paper, which we all read with much in-

CINCINNATI. 



The Flower Show. 



The chrysanthemum show of the Cin- 

 cinnati florists' society was held Satur- 

 day, and it proved to be the best ever 

 seen in the society's club rooms. Both 

 quality and quantity of blooms were 

 there. The show had been liberally ad- 

 vertised by the city papers, and was 

 viewed by a vast crowd of people in the 

 short time that it was open to the 

 public. . 



Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, 



Mich. 



,lio\\ I 



an 



e display, 

 blooms, 

 t, an in- 

 form and 

 is a some- 

 ' tins the 

 very high. 



lull! shaped flower, trifli incurved, of a 

 good medium shade of pink, stem, t'oli 

 agfi and size right up to the mark. Ii ap- 

 peared to be a good one and scored 

 high. It is a French importation. 



II. W. Rieman, of Indianapolis, Ind., 

 also made a large show, displaying a 

 great number of varieties. They also 

 had two seedlings, named Adelia and Ma- 

 jestic, both white. They were not extra 

 large sized, but color, stem, foliage, etc., 

 1. The latter variety is es- 

 pecially a good thing and will bear 

 watching. 



The E. ti. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., 

 showed over forty different varieties, the 

 majority of them being one bloom to the 

 \ase. with all forms and colors. It made 

 a decidedly attractive display and was 

 greatly admired by everyone. 



Gunnar Teilmann, of Marion, Ind., 

 showed the largest sized mums in the ex- 

 hibition. They were truly immense, one 

 vase of Goldmine being especially no- 

 ticeable for its size. 



J. W. Rodgers staged some nicely 

 grown Bonnaffon and also Berrin, which 

 variety is very hard to beat in pink. 



R. Witterstaetter made a fine show of 

 mums and carnations. His Col. D. Ap- 

 pleton were the finest I have ever seen, 

 and it is doubtful if they could have 

 been better grown. One vase containing 

 a large number of this year's seedling 

 carnations was very attractive and any 

 of them would have made the heart of 

 an ordinary grower happy. A vase of 

 No. 822A, a beautiful red carnation, was 

 in fine form for so early. 



George & Allan staged a vase of Chad- 

 wick which were grand, and had it not 

 been that they were too late in staging 

 them, to compete, they would undoubted- 

 ly have carried off first prize for best 

 vase of white. 



S. S. Skidelsky had with him a vase 

 of the new Breitmeyer rose. They were 

 the same that had been on exhibition at 

 Indianapolis, last week, which proves it 

 to be a good keeper. In other respeets 

 it would not be fair to criticise it, under 

 the circumstances. 



The awards were as follows: Best 

 vase white, first, E. G. Hill Co.; second, 

 Gunnar Teilmann; third, H. W. Rieman. 

 Best vase pink, first, E. G. Hill Co.; sec- 

 ond J. W. Rodgers; third, J. W. Rodg- 

 ers. Best vase yellow, first, R. Witter- 

 stnotter; second, E. G. Hill Co.; third, 

 Gunnar Teilmann. Best vase Bonnaf- 

 fon, first. R. Witterstaetter, second and 

 third, J. W. Rodgers. Best general dis- 

 play, E. G. Hill Co. 



The judge, Theo. Bock, was unable to 

 be present, owing to sickness, and Ben 

 George and Louis Ffeiffer officiated In 

 his stead. 



There was nothing considered for S. A. 

 F. medals. 



After the show the regular meeting 

 of the society was held. There was no 

 business of "importance to be brought 

 up, with the exception of a few details in 

 regard to the future shows. Elmer 

 Smith, on his way home from an ex- 

 tended trip east; Harry Sheppard, of the 

 E. G. Hill Co.; Mr. Rieman, of Indian- 

 apolis, Ind., and S. S. Skidelsky were 

 in attendance at the meeting and all 



gave interesting talks regarding the 

 mum shows they had visited recently. 



The Market. 



Business is just as good as last week 

 which is saying a great deal. Mums still 

 sell well and the supply is heavier than 

 it has been at any time so far this sea- 

 son. They are not bringing quite so high 

 a price, but this is due more to quality 

 than over-supply. 



Carnations are about, the same as last 

 week. Fancy ones are selling well and 

 a good cold snap would quickly put them 

 up to 4 cents. Short-stemmed roses are 

 still over plentiful, but long ones sell 

 well and more could be disposed of. 

 There is a big demand for American 

 Beauties with not enough to supply it. 

 The best grade brings $4 per dozen 

 readily. 



Notes. 



Saturday evening a horse and wagon 

 belonging to George & Allan was stolen 

 from in front of the flower market. The 

 thief was caught but not uutil he had 

 disposed of a good lot of palms which 

 the wagon contained. 



Geo. Bayer, of Toledo, O., is sending 

 some very good mums to E. G. Gillett. 

 They are Bonnaffon, Ivory, Wana- 

 maker, Helen Bloodgood, and Viviand- 

 Morel. 



Owing to the carelessness of a night 

 fireman B. F. Critchell has suffered a 

 loss of from $200 to $300 in his chrys- 

 anthemums. Frost entered one of the 

 houses and they are practically a total 

 loss. 



H. H. Hitter, of Bayton, O., suffered 

 a severe loss through fire during the past 

 week. His boilers exploded, the boiler 

 shed caught fire and before it could be 

 extinguished the greater portion pf five 

 houses was consumed. He carried no 

 insurance. 



Those who attended the Indianapolis 

 show from this city returned home 

 greatly pleased with what they saw and 

 loud in their praise of the hospitality or 

 the Indiana boys. The Cincinnati party 

 consisted of W. Murphv, W. Schuman, 

 D. Sunderbruch and wife, J. W. Rodgers, 

 L. H. Kyrk and W. K. Fartridge. E. G. 

 Gillett was unable to attend, owing to the 

 death of a near relative. 



Ben Hensley, representing Joy & Son, 

 of Nashville, Tenn., was a caller. 



C. J. Ohmer. 



Spokane, Wash. — Hoyt Bros., who 

 now have 55,000 feet "of glass, have 

 moved their retail store to 807 Riverside 

 avenue, where Miss Armstrong has 

 charge. 



Norwalk, O.— Evans & Feat are 

 building a flower store and conservatory 

 which will compare favorably with those 

 in larger cities. They will be ready for 

 business about December 1. 



Winona, Minn. — St. Paul's parish 

 has had a flower show, each of four 

 florists occupying and decorating a sepa- 

 rate room. The exhibitors were the 

 Central Greenhouses, Woodlawn Green- 

 houses, the Winona Floral Co. and John 

 Wunder. 



Springfield, Mass.— Alfred J. Buck- 

 leton is a bankruptcy petitioner, with lia- 

 bilities of $S,538 and assets of $7,000. 

 Fred M. Flagg, of Springfield, and John 

 S. Bogan are secured creditors, holding 

 mortgages on petitioner's real estate to 

 cover loans of $5,800 and $S00, respect- 

 ively.
