 standard varieties of carnations made 

 a very creditable show at the Art In- 

 .stitute on Jan. 14th. Tlie flow'ers weie 

 slow in arriving and at noon the out- 

 look was not very encoura.ging, but by 

 two o'clock everything was in shape, 

 with Uncle John Thoi-pe the presiding 

 genius. Tbe right of M. R. Miller, of 

 AVillmette, quietly superintending 

 ( verytiiing, brought back the big show 

 cf a few weeks ago. C. W. Johnson, of 

 Rockford, 111., arrived and assumel 

 , his duties a.s judge. 



While the attenrlance cannot be 

 :aid to have been large, it; was fair 

 und a good beginning. The rival red 

 carr.ations, 0. P. Biassett and Pres. 

 Taft occupied opposite ends of a long 

 table, while Bay State. Lucile and 

 Seedling 500 — three varieties about 

 whioh there was a great difference of 

 opinion — with Sarah Hill and White 

 Enchantress, filled to excellent advan- 

 tage the space b<'tween them. The 

 ether tables contained a fine showing 

 ot old'or varieties and seedlings.

 son, WHiite Perfection. Enchantress 

 tiiid Winona, an admirable collection.
