MILWAUKEE FLOWER SHOW. 



The Executive Committee of the 

 Flower Show which will be given un- 

 der the auspices of the Milwaukee 

 Florists' Club are getting busy pre- 

 paring some of the preliminary work 

 in connection with the show. The Au- 

 ditorium Building, which is now near- 

 ing completion and in which the 

 Flower Show will be held, Nov. 13th, 

 14th, 15th anil 16th, is one of the 

 finest buildings in the country adapted 

 for the purpose. It has an immense 

 arena with seats surrounding the en- 

 tire floor space, on the circus order, 

 which gives the public an opportunit\' 

 of seeing the show complete from all 

 viewpoints. Likewise a celebrated band . 

 and soloists will be engaged as an ad- 

 ditional attraction and wilh this 

 double attraction it is expected the 

 show will be a great success in every 

 way. 



SHAW'S GARDEN. 



On Sunday, Septembei- F,th, the sec- 

 ond opening of Shaw's Garden to the 

 public on Sunday takes place. As di- 

 rected by the will of the late Henry 

 Shaw, the garden is only open to the 

 public on Sunday in tne months of 

 June and September. September 1st 

 was the fiftieth anniversary since Mr. 

 Shaw turned over the garden to the 

 public. The name of the garden has 

 since been changed to the Missouri Bo- 

 tanical Garden; but the public knows 

 it only as Shaw's Garden. 



NEPHROLEPIS ELEGANTISSIMA COMPACTA 



Another New Fern Originatins with Us. To be introduced Fall, 1909. 



Of all the valuable introductions in ferns that we have sent out, beginning wilh the Pierson (Nephrolepis 

 Piersoni). we consider Elegantissima compacta the mcst valuable of all, particularly from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles Elegantissima in a general way, it is far superior to that variety, on account of its perfect 

 habit Yet it can hardly be compared with Elegantissima except in a general way, because it occupies a place by 

 itself, and is as distinct from Elegantissima as that variety is from Piersoni, — in fact, it bears the same relation to 

 Elegantissima that Scottii does to Bostoniensis. 



Elegantissima compacta has an ideal habit. The fronds are conjiderably shorter than those cf Elegantissima, 

 and it is a more compact plant. It throws a great many more crowns naturally, making a very busfcy, dwarf, com- 

 pact plant. The difference between the two varieties can be seen at a glance. 



Fine, strong plants, 21'4-in. pots, $5.00 per (fozen, $35.00 per 100; 4-ln. pots, $7.50 per 

 dozen, $50.00 per 100; 6>in. pans, $1.50 eacb ; S-ln. pans, $3.00 eacb. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of Nephrolepis, carrying a large stock of all sizes at all times, — Piersoni, 

 Elegantissima, Superbissima, Bostoniensis, Scottii, Whitmani, Amerpohli, etc.
