Wednesday was s] al carnati lay 



and we had by far the besl and largest 

 display of carnations ever seen al anj 

 of our fall shows. Onh Btandard vari 

 .■ties i-niilil compete iii the regular classes, 

 but nearly all of the new candidates were 

 shown ni large h.ts. The I-'. Dorner & 

 Sims Co., of Lafayette, showed their two 

 tine whites, besides a large number of 

 seedlings in lesser quantity. E. Witter- 

 staetter, of Cincinnati, showed an im- 

 proved Estelle which attracted much at- 



tention by its fine

fine slini 



apolis, which attracted much attenti 

 by its fin. collar. They also showed 

 vase of each of two other seedlin 

 Beatrice, a light pink, and Indiana M

The 



previouslj shown here, both in quantity 

 and quality. Of course the new ones 

 w.-ie th. center of attraction and most of 

 them looked very promising. Breitmeyer's 

 new pink rose attracted much atten- 

 tion and the $100 offered for a name 

 kept the crowds guessing alone that line. 

 This looks like a good thine and the 

 judges unhesitatingly declared that it 

 would 'ill a long felt want, as more vari- 

 ety is badly needed in roses. K. G. Hill 

 showed several of his new varieties, one 

 of them capturing the prize of $50, and 

 will be named Rosalind Orr English. 

 This is a beautiful deep but bright pink 

 sort of great promise, Mr. Hill says it 

 has a great pedigree. Among the others 



Was a fine vase of his yellow seedling. 

 A fine |iink one captured the prize for 

 best forcing variety. He also showed 

 several of his Liberty seedlings and a 

 vase of Mildred Grant, a beautiful, deli- 

 cately tinted variety of white and pink 

 color. E. T. Grave showed a bloom of a 

 pink sport from Liberty. 



Heller Bros, put up a large exhibit Oi 

 Beauties of various lengths and they 

 made a grand show. They were ar- 

 ranged on several tables so that the peo- 

 ple could walk between them, and there 

 was always a crowd around them. There 

 must have been nearly 1,000 blooms in 

 it. all told. W. K. ' Partridge's roses 

 wen- as fine as any the writer has e\ei 

 seen. The blooms were large and well 

 colored and the foliage as dean as could 

 be. He won four firsts out of live en- 

 tries. The new rose Ideal shown by the 

 E. G. Hill Co. is a beauty. The prizes
