The annual state competitive exhi- 

 bition under the auspices of the So- 

 ciety of Indiana Florists, was held 

 Nov. 13 and 14 at A. Wiegand & Sons' 

 Conservatories. The many entries 

 from all parts of the state, as well 

 as the adjoining states, brought out 

 many new varieties in chrysanthe- 

 mums, roses and carnations. Awards 

 were pretty evenly divided between 

 tlie concerns mentioned under the re- 

 spective classes: Chrysanthemums. — 

 E. G. Hill & Co., Baur & Smith, W. A.

judge of all plants and cut chrysanthe- 

 mums, S. A. Anderson, Buffalo, of car- 

 nations, and C. Tidy, Toronto, of roses, 

 violets and design work. 



A special feature of the design work 

 was a standing wreath of dark oak 

 leaves and Cattleyas labiata and Har- 

 risonii, with a square base of oak 

 leaves, ferns, lily of the valley and 

 cypripediums, the whole forming a 

 most exquisite combination of color, 

 which was deservedly awarded first 

 prize. The design put up by F. Brown, 

 manager of the Dunlop store, was very 

 fine, also the presentation basket of 

 chrysanthemums by Mr. Brown. 



A new pink seedling chrysanthemum 

 exhibited by the Steele-Briggs Seed 

 Co. scored 91 points. George HoUis 

 also exhibited a vase of nice seedling 

 chrysanthemums of commercial prom- 

 ise. Vaughan's Seed Store sent a 

 chrysanthemum plant grafted to 25 

 varieties.

ONTARIO HORTICULTURAL EXHI- 

 BITION. 



The Ontario Horticultural Exhibi- 

 tion held in Massey Hall, Toronto, 

 last week was, as a whole, well up to 

 the standard, especially so in the or- 

 chid groups of Thos. Manton and the 

 Dale Estate of Brampton, as well as 

 all the chrysanthemums exhibited by 

 the Dale Estate and T. McHugh of 

 Montreal. The chrysanthemum groups 

 were about as usual, and pot plants a 

 little better. Lorraine begonias were 

 very fine. 



A splendid exhibit of cut chrysan- 

 themums arrived from Nathan Smith 

 & Son, Adrian. Mich., just 24 hours too 

 late for competition, as the judge had 

 completed his work. W. Wilshire was 



The carnation classes were well 

 filled and the competition keen be- 

 tween the Dale Estate, R. Jennings, 

 Toronto Floral Co. and W. Houston. 

 On roses the Dale Estate, Bedford 

 Park Floral Co. and Toronto Floral 

 Co. made things lively for one an- 

 other. On the various floral designs, 

 baskets, bouquets, etc., J. H. Dunlop. 

 T. Manton and S. A. Frost were the 

 principal competitors. 



MONTREAL GARDENERS' AND 

 FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The 16th annual chrysanthemuiU 

 show of the Montreal Gardeners and 

 norists received only a very limited 

 number of visitors, but the trade was 

 well represented in the exhibits. The 

 display, while not large, was up to the 

 slindard of other shows as far .is the 

 quality went, but it was a pity to find 

 the gardeners and florists lu!:ovv"arm 

 and uninterested in their own chrysan- 

 themum show. 



•^.he band of the Victo-ia Rifles 

 piayed a fine program of clasiical aid 

 popular music, adding greatly to the 

 attractiveness of the affair.
