INDIANAPOLIS. 



Fine weather throughout the week 

 favored the attendance at the show 

 in Tomlinson Hall the past week, 

 bringing out the public in larger num- 

 bers than usual. That the people 

 were well repaid for attending was 

 evidenced on all sides by the exclama-^ 

 tions of pleasure expressed at the 

 quality of the exhibits and the beauti- 

 ful decorations. In only one respect 

 did the show lack, and that was in 

 the quality of the plants shown. The 

 lateness of the start of preparations 

 made it impossible to grow fine speci- 

 mens, such as we are accustomed to 

 seeing here, and there being five 

 shows running in the middle west in 

 the same week made it impossible 

 to get any but home-grown plants. All 

 the cut stock, however, was of excep- 

 tionally high quality and easily made 

 up for what the plants lacked. 



A new arrangement has been pro- 

 posed with a good chance for adop- 

 tion under which the State Florists' 

 Association will hold a show each 

 year. Past experience having proven 

 that a show in this city each year is 

 not as satisfactory as a show once in 

 two or three years, it is now proposed 

 to hold shows in other cities of the 

 state in the off years. There are at 

 least a dozen cities in the state with 

 populations of 35.000 to 75.000 which 

 would patronize a show liberally once 

 in five or six years. The Association 

 will co-operate with the local florists 

 in handling the arrangements, lending 

 its name to give the project dignity, 

 etc. 



The list of awards is given below.

We are now under the sign of 

 Chrysanthemums and they are good 

 this year, a little earlier tlian last 

 year, price about the same, but more 

 have IJeen planted. The annual chry- 

 santhemum show of our local club was 

 held on Nov. 8 in the store of S. N. 

 Peck. It was strictly a club affair 

 and was attended by almost every 

 member. Prizes were offered high 

 enough to make the growers hustle, 

 but they did not draw the competition 

 which was expected. 



There were five exhibitors, Harry 

 Heinl, George Bayer, .7. L. Schiller, 

 E. Kuhuke and S. N. Peck, all except 

 .1. 1>. Schiller competing for prizes, 

 the latter not growing clirysanthe- 

 mums for the sake of the flowers, his 

 business being in rooted cuttings only. 



The prize for the best chrysanthe- 

 nuims was cashed in by Harry Heinl 

 for Dolly Dimple, a splendid exhibi- 

 tion variety. The flower as shown is 

 very large, of the Japanese type, light 

 yellow, a magnificent bold flower. 

 Geo. Bayer staged in novelties of this 

 year's introduction Oroba, Elise Pap- 

 worth and Mrs. Wm. Wincott. J. L. 

 Schiller showed Elise Papworth and 

 Mrs. W. E. Kelley. These are two 

 varieties which I think will be grown 

 on a larger scale. Elise Papworth is 

 a splendid large white. For a golden 

 yellow Mrs. W. E. Kelley. introduced 

 UKiil, is hard to beat. The prize for the 

 best new introduction went for Elise 

 Papworth. Emil Kuhuke had Col. Ap- 



plpton and Intensity on exhibition 

 and S. N. Peck showed Alice Byron, 

 Intensity, Prest. Roosevelt, Baron Vic- 

 tor Reilley and Helen Frick. 



An exhibition of pot plants will be 

 held by the club at the first meeting 

 in December and prizes will be award- 

 ed for the best Cyclamen, Primula 

 chiuensis and Cineraria. 



DOBBS FERRY. 



The Dobbs Ferry Horticultural Asso- 

 ciation held their eleventh annual 

 flower show on the 4th and 5th of No- 

 vember at the Town Hall. It was one 

 of the best in the history of the Asso- 

 ciation. Great credit is due the ex- 

 hibitors as this section had no rain 

 lor five months, yet all of the exhibits 

 were first class in every respect. There 

 were about 120 entries. The following

PROVIDENCE. 

 The annual Chrysanthemum and 

 Fruit Exhibition of the Rhode Island 

 Horticultural Society was held at the 

 Mathewson Street M. E. Church on 

 Nov. 10 and 11. The exhibits were all 

 of excellent quality. The exhibit from 

 the Aldrich Estate was quite extensive 

 and included chrysanthemums and 

 other flowers and plants, among which 

 was a handsome specimen of Celosia 

 Pride of Castle Gould. F. S. Peck 

 was a winner in many classes of chrys- 

 anthemums, also carnations and Lor- 

 raine begonias. Johnstone Bros, won 

 first on centrepiece of carnations. 

 Samuel Kinder & Bro. of Bristol 

 staged an unnamed crimson seedling 

 carnation, fine form and rich color; a 

 promising variety.
