VICTORY 



THE BEST SCARLET CARNATION 



ST. LOUIS FLOWER SHOW. 



The llower show under the auspices 

 of the Florists' Club ch]sed on the 

 evening of the 11th, and the committee 

 who have labored so diligently must 

 feel gratified with the success achieved 

 and the fine exhibits brought together. 

 The adaptability of Westminster Hall 

 as a setting for the array of plants and 

 cut blooms, making the customary 

 drapings of Southern smilax unneces- 

 sary, was a matter of much favorable 

 comment. Coming at the same time 

 as the Chicago show the exhibits were 

 naturally divided in some cases, while 

 some exhibitors of former years were 

 noticeably absent. The names most 

 frequently mentioned in the long list 

 of prize-winners are Fred C. Weber, 

 William Schray & Sons, Koenig Floral 

 Co., W. ,J. * M. S. Vesey, The E. G. 

 Hill Co., Vaughan's Seed Store, F. H. 

 Fillmore & Son and F. H. Meinhardt.

CINCINNATI FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The chrysanthemum show which was 

 held^at the Jabez Elliot Market house 

 November 11, and which has always 

 been a phenomenal success, was far be- 

 low former shows, both in quantity and 

 quality. It was rather discouraging 

 to see upon entering the exhibition 

 room so much unoccupied space and so 

 few exhibitors. The exhibitors were 

 R. Witterstaetter of Cincinnati, George 

 Bayer of Toledo, H. Schmidt of Oxford, 

 George & Allen of Cincinnati. R. Wit- 

 terstaetter exhibited some of his new 

 seedling carnations and they were very 

 much admired. 



KENTUCKY SOCIETY OF FLOR 

 ISTS. 



The Louisville show is over, and was 

 a most satisfactory exhibition, nothing 

 being short but the public. Guttman 

 & Weber won the silver medal on their 

 new carnation Victory, which won gen- 

 eral admiration. Robert Craig and 

 Candace were awarded certificates of 

 merit. Nearly all the classes were 

 well filled, and competition was decid- 

 edly warm. 



Order now before cold 

 weather sets in. 



We also have a good supply 

 of specimen KENTIAS, BAY 

 TREES and other decorative 

 plants.
