LAKE GENEVA (WIS.) SHOW. 



'Llip I^ako (ipneva iiiiiisiiiiimcr cxliibiiion 

 of fruit, flowers, vegetables, farm iind dairy 

 products, held under tlie auspices of the 

 Lake Geneva Garden Club, was a pronounced 

 success, both as to the exhibits and attend- 

 ance, the number of entries for comiiotition 

 far exceeding previous years, competition lie- 

 ing very keen in a great number of exliibit.s. 

 The table decorations were a particularly 

 stroug feature, the tables being set for six 

 persons, and personally arranged by the 

 ladies exhibiting. The floral decorations of 

 the first prize table were yellow antirrhinums, 

 all tables being most tastefully arranged, and 

 a striking contrast from each other. Cut 

 flower exhil)ils were very good, considering 

 the wet season, the large collections being 

 very keenly contested. Gladiolis, one of our 

 best summer flowers, was shown in large 

 iinantities. special exhibits being staged by 

 Vaughan's Seed Store. Chicago, and A. E. 

 Kunderd, Goshen, Ind. The vegetable ex- 

 hibit was equal to other years in quality, 

 but the entries more numerous ; the fruit 

 exhibit being jiar excellence, hot house grapes 

 as usual taking the loading part, peaches and 

 nectarines, plums and grapes grown under 

 glass in tubs making a very unique exhibit. 

 .\ plum tree full of delicious plums, shown by 

 Mrs. Francis T. .Tunkin. captured a certifl- 

 cate of merit. A certificate of merit was also 

 awarded to W'm. .1. J. Mitchell for three 

 Lilium Auratums. grown in eight-inch pots, 

 one bulb in a pot. the three plants showing 

 112 fully developed blooms. The quality of 

 the exhibits and the large attendance testify 

 as to this exhibition being one of the best yet.
