On Thursday evening the State Flor- 

 ists' Society entertained the visiting 

 florists at a banquet given at the Ger- 

 man House. About eighty gentlemen 

 and one lady sat down and partook of 

 the entertainment, and that it was heart- 

 ily enjoyed could be seen on all sides. 

 Vice-President E. A. Nelson introduced 

 E. G. Hill as toastmaster and he filled 

 the position as only he can. The other 

 speakers were Mrs. Vesey, J. D. Car- 

 mody, W. N. Rudd, E. Wienhoeber, Theo. 

 Bock, Phil Hauswirth and "Baby" Fo- 

 ley, all of whom were full of praise for 

 the show and its management, Messrs. 

 Rudd and Hauswirth spoke of the effect 

 the failure to have a show is having on 

 the 'mum market in Chicago, while Mr. 

 Bock kept the assembly laughing by tell- 

 ing how the judges decide a close race 

 when there is really no perceptible dif- 

 ference between two lots of blooms. Mr. 

 Buettner contracted a severe cold on 

 Wednesday night and was obliged to re- 

 main at the hotel, which every one re- 



gretted very much indeed. After the 

 feast there was bowling, etc., which was 

 kept up until a late hour. 



The following visitors attended the 

 show and many of them the banquet:

The annual flower show was a great 

 success, opening November 11 in Wind- 

 sor hall. The space was well occupied 

 and the quality of the material was ex- 

 cellent. Among the exhibitors were Na- 

 than Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich.; F. C.

PHILADELPHIA. 



The second day brought the carna- 

 tions, roses and violets. All these were 

 well represented. The feature of the rose 

 exhibit was the vase of twenty-five spe- 

 cial blooms of Liberty from Edward 

 Towillj of Roslyn. They were exceed- 

 ingly well done. Beauty and Edgely 

 were shown in good form, also a great 

 number of smaller roses. This exhibit 

 was very popular. It was often diffi- 

 .eult to get near the flowers. 



The carnations were varied and full 

 of interest. Peter Fisher had a fine 

 new scarlet, showing both plant and 

 blooms as required by the rules. The 

 increase in the number of fancy sorts 

 shown was marked. This exhibit was 

 creditable for the season. 



Very few violets were shown, but those 

 present were fine. 



T. H. Norton had some splendid 

 white. Mrs. Sarah J. Smith added to 

 her reputation as a grower of choice 

 singles. A few additions were made to 

 the show the remaining days. 



John Brietmeyer's Sons of Detroit, 

 sent a bunch of their new pink rose 

 which was placed in a vase at the foot 

 of the main stairway, where every one 

 might see it. On the vase was a card 

 offering $100 in gold for a name. It is 

 said 19,999 names were sent in, here is 

 the twenty thousandth: 



Pray number me amone those 



Who enter the golden race; 

 "Phil" offers your lovely rose 

 The beautiful name of Grace. 



There was an effective mantel decora- 

 tion arranged with chrysanthemums and 

 foliage by Joseph Kift & Son. 



A dinner table was set for twelve with 

 depressed center, edged with asparagus 

 and filled with a variety of orchids. The 

 corsage bunches and boutonnieres were 

 of violets. This was the work of the 

 William Graham Co. and was much ad- 

 mired. 



In an alcove on the first floor was a 

 large circular bed of tulips in full bloom.
