HABERMEHL SHOW. 

 One of the features of Philadelphia's 

 chrysanthemum show week was the 

 Habermehl exhibit at the Bellevue- 

 Stratford. Not only was there a grand 

 display of the giant cut blooms of 

 such varieties as Appleton and Duck- 

 ham, but the bouquet art from the stiff 

 paper-collared article of 1850 down to 

 the loose, artistically ribboned pro- 

 duction of the present day was effec- 

 tively displayed. The table decorations, 

 basket work, screen designs and other 

 staples of the florists' art were traced 

 . by striking designs, not only showing 

 what good work is, but giving striking 

 examples of bad taste and labeling the 

 latter as such. No better trade getter 

 from a retail point of view has ever 

 been devised than this as far as our 

 recollection goes, and the Messrs. 

 Habermehl have scored a distinct suc- 

 cess, and will compel the attention and 

 admiration of even their most stren- 

 uous rivals. G. C. W. 



t- FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILA- 

 DELPHIA. 

 The newly elected president, Samuel 

 S. Pennock, made his maiden effort at 

 presiding and proved himself a good 

 one. Business was pushed through 

 with dispatch and an early adjourn- 

 ment achieved for the devotees of the 

 flower show. Robert Craig gave 4n ac- 

 count of his recent visit to the James- 

 town Exposition. Resolutions of sym- 

 pathy were passed on J. L. Dillon and 

 Fred Krebs, recently deceased mem- 

 bers. 



' CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



A special meeting of the Executive 

 Board of the S. A. F. is being held at 

 Chicago this week. 



The annual chrysanthemum show of 

 the American Institute was held at 

 New York on Nov. 7, 8 and 9. 



The Gardeners' Club of Baltimore, 

 Md., will hold their chrysanthemum 

 show on Nov. 13-16 in the new Flor- 

 ists' Exchange building, corner of 

 Franklin and St. Paul streets. 



The annual chrysanthemum show of 

 the Santa Barbara Horticultural So- 

 ciety, Cal., was held on Oct. 17 and 18, 

 with a flne display and a large repre- 

 sentation of the gardeners in that lo- 

 cality among the exhibitors. 



No man who grows stock tor sale 

 can call himself "progressive" if he 

 omits to advertise it. If you grow for 

 retail exclusively, advertise in your 

 local papers. If you grow for whole- 

 sale trade, or if you have a surplus 

 above your retail needs, get in line 

 with those who are to be found in 

 HORTICULTURE'S advertising col- 

 umns. You will find it distintcly to 

 your advantage and will have no 

 trouble to back up the claim that you 

 are "progressive." HORTICULTURE 

 is essentially the medium of the "pro- 

 gressive" horticulturist, and this is one 

 reason why it is the best advertising 

 medium In its class. 



BAY SHORE FLOWER SHOW. 



The fifth annual exhibition of the 

 United Bayshore Horticultural Socle- 

 ties was opened November 2 in the 

 Carleton Opera House, and the dis- 

 play of flowers, fruits and vegetables 

 was considered the best in the history 

 of the show. The organization num- 

 bers among its patrons and exhibitors 

 many prominent members of the South 

 Shore summer colony, who own coun- 

 try homes in Babylon and Islip. 



Chrysanthemums were considered 

 one of the star features of the show. 

 Honors in the chrysanthemum classes 

 were divided between S. T. Peters, 

 Louis Bossert, Colonel Alfred Wag- 

 staff, Eugene P. Strong and Edwin 

 Thome. Mr. Peters was the heaviest 

 winner of the day, carrying off thirty- 

 six premiums. A noticeable exhibit 

 from the Peters place was a rare col- 

 lection of stove and hothouse plants, 

 gracefully arranged on the stage of 

 the opera house. 



There was a fine display of carna- 

 tions, and Messrs. H. G. Timmerman 

 and Edwin Thorne were winners of 

 the greater number of awards. Fruits 

 and vegetables were shown in excellent 

 form.

In addition to our notes on this ex- 

 cellent show, in our issue of last week, 

 we record that the silver medal for the 

 best new decorated plant not yet in 

 commerce was awarded to Scott Bros., 

 for an improved form of Dracaena 

 Godsefliana, the white variegation be- 

 ing much more pronounced than in 

 the type. The Pierson U Bar Com- 

 pany's special prize for table of deco- 

 rative plants was won by David Mc- 

 Farlane. The silver cup offered by 

 Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish for dinner table 

 decoration was won by James Ballan-
