 F. Micliell Co. vase for the best one 

 hundred blooms of carnations — four 

 varieties — to be exhibited at the ex- 

 hibition of the American Carnation 

 Society, Washington, D. C, in 1908. 

 It is made of green glass and silver.

 ventional carnations and leaves, which

 the Henry F. Michell Co., 1018 Market 

 street, Philadelphia, who have pres- 

 ented several decidedly unusual prizes 

 within the last few months.

LOCAL AND FLORISTS' SHOWS. 



The annual chrysanthemum show of 

 the Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O., 

 was held November 5-9. 



The Hingham (Mass.) Agricultural 

 and Horticultural Society held a chrys- 

 anthemum show on Friday, Novem- 

 ber 1. 



James A. Tefft's greenhouses at 

 Peacedale, R. I., have presented an 

 attractive variety of the popular chry- 

 santhemums during the past week. 



B. J. Finch, of Mishawaka, Ind., is 

 making a display of the newer varie- 

 ties of chrysanthemums at his green- 

 houses that is attracting much atten- 

 tion. 



W. H. Buckbee, Rockford, 111., in- 

 vited the townspeople to enjoy his col- 

 lection of chrysanthemums prior to 

 their shipment to the St. Louis and 

 Chicago shows. 



Chrysanthemum day at the experi- 

 ment farm, Burlington, Vt., was a rev- 

 elation to many of the visitors and a 

 gratifying evidence of the ability of 

 the gardener, H. V. F. De Thestrup. 



The exhibition at Lincoln Park, Chi- 

 cago, opened on November 4 and will 

 continue four weeks. Mr. Frey says 

 that his collection of chrysanthemums 

 this year surpasses any previous rec- 

 ord. 



E. P. Stannard, Westbrook, Conn., 

 has opened his conservatories to the 

 public and the visitors include many 

 from a distance who find his hand- 

 some display of chrysanthemums well 

 worth the trip. 



The annual chrysanthemum show at 

 the Missouri Botanical Garden, St. 

 Louis, which opened on November 4, 

 was held in a mammoth tent, and dur- 

 ing the two weeks' exhibit the usual 

 throngs have been present. 



The Ernst Wienhoeber Co., of Chi- 

 cago, who have taken the rooms over 

 their store on Elm street for an ex- 

 hibition of their large stock of florists' 

 supplies, added a floral display on Oc- 

 tober 30 and invited the general pub- 

 lic. The roses with which visitors to 

 the Coliseum exhibition later became 

 familiar were chiefly in evidence — 

 Poehlmann Bros.' Mrs. Potter Palmer 

 and Cardinal and Peter Reinberg's 

 Mrs. Marshall Field. There was a 

 large attendance, especially from the 

 north shore. 



Another one of the large willows in 

 the Public Garden, Boston, was up- 

 rooted by the gale on November 6. 

 An attempt is to be made to derrick 

 it back into position, where it will be 

 secured by steel guys.
