by Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago and 

 New York. This is an extra fine ex- 

 hibit in fine shape. The canna is of 

 fine habit, tree flowering, flowers large, 

 good color, dark bronze leathery foli- 

 age. The same flrm make an exhibit 

 of Baby Rambler rose: also a bed of 

 cannas composed of two unnamed va- 

 rieties, with Papa Nardy and David 

 Harum. 



Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., 

 make several interesting exhibits. A 

 bed of canna. Imperial Gardener 

 Hoppc. as growing here is no improve- 

 ment over existing varieties. Canna, 

 Express, by same firm, is a tree bloom- 

 er of dwarf habit; crimson color. 

 Canna, Director Holtz, yellow, ground, 

 heavily spotted red on smaller petals, 

 others slightly spotted; a very effec- 

 tive color. Plants of good habit. Your 

 committee thinks very highly of this 

 variety and recommend a certificate of 

 merit. 



Canna, Oscoda; this is not so effec- 

 tive as others in commerce. Canna, 

 JIartha Washington. Salvia splendens 

 Triumph, of good compact habit, early 

 in flower and of good color. The same 

 firm makes a very interesting display 

 of hardy herbaceous plants. Very 

 effective at the present time are hibis- 

 cus. Crimson Eye. Rudbeckia triloba, 

 Boltonia latisguam. Boltonia aster- 

 oides. Helenium autumnale superbum. 

 and phlox. Mrs. Dwyer. 



From W. F. Kasting, Buffalo. N. Y., 

 an exhibit of canna, Mrs. Kasting; 

 color a brilliant red. the flower spike 

 carried well above the foliage, making 

 it very effective. 



H. A. Dreer. Philadelphia, makes a 

 very interesting exhibit of Delphinium 

 Belladonna, petunias, Pennisetum 

 macrophyllum, atrosanguiueum, and 

 ageratum. Inimitable. 



Gus. Obermeyer. Parkersburg, W. 

 Va.. showed canna. West Virginia. 

 This is an improved form of Antoine 

 Crozy. fine habit and free in flower. 



Your committee recommend that the 

 Society's silver medal be awarded to 

 Mr. John Freudenberger for his care, 

 planting and tasteful arrangement of 

 the outdoor exhibits.

REPORT OF JUDGES ON OUT- 

 DOOR EXHIBITS. 



The judges appointed to examine 

 and report on the outdoor exhibit of 

 plants beg to submit the following: 



An exhibit of canna. King Humbert, 



CONVENTION NOTES. 



Horace M. Frank made an ideal ex- 

 hibition manager. Self possessed in 

 the face of all difficulties, urbane, 

 courteous, and obliging to all, tireless 

 here, there, and everywhere, from early 

 morning till late night, prompt and 

 exact in every detail of his arduous 

 duties, he made a record in the eyes 

 of the visitors. A nice little bunch 

 of greenbacks sprouting from a lily 

 bulb was the spontaneous tribute of 

 the exhibitors whom he had served so 

 well. Col. Castle of Boston was 

 pressed into service to make the pres- 

 entation sneech. 



Somebody inscribed on the "com- 

 plaint book" a request that J. B. Heiss 

 supply 1000 electric fans for the ex- 

 hibition building and run the street 

 cars up to the door. No wonder they 

 thought J. B. was omnipotent. What- 

 ever this indefatigable hustler under- 

 took had to go through, regardless of 

 all obstacles. The post office sub- 

 station in the exhibition hall was one 

 of his innovations that the Society cao 

 not afford ever again to do without.
