Why Reasons Won 



HERE were certain very definite, very logical 

 reasons vs^hy the owners paid us more for 



this U-Bar greenhouse than they could have 



Dought other houses for, constructed other ways. 

 We have a notion the very same reasons would 

 be decidedly interesting to you. 



You may not, right now, think the U-Bar con- 

 struction is worth more than others, but let us talk 

 it over with you and then see where you stand. 



Send for our catalog. Or send for us. Or both.

THE CLEVELAND FLOWER SHOW. 



Ever_\body is talking of Cleveland at this time, because 

 of the nearness of the big I'lower show, that has prob- 

 ably received more advance publicity than any similar 

 event held in an inland city heretofore. 



The various committees have done strenuous work 

 since the 1st of March, and, according to all indications, 

 the outlook for the success of this event, under the aus- 

 pices of the Ohio Horticultural Society, the Cleveland 

 Florists" Club and the (iardcn Club of Cleveland, is very 

 bright. 



The annual meeting of the Chrysanthemum Society 

 of .American will be held on Thursday, November 11. 



Fridav. Xovember 12, will be the Fall meeting of 

 the American Rose Society, and also an executive com- 

 mittee meeting of tbe American Carnation Society will 

 take [dace. 



The committee bas oblaincd the consent of several 

 large growers to have new plants named at the show. 

 One of these will be a new Dixon rose, grown in this 

 country by Chas. Totty, also several new Totty chrysan- 

 themums,' and a number of chrysanthemums grown by 

 Elmer D. Smith, of .-Vdrian, Mich., and E. G. Hill Co., 

 of Richmond, Ind. They will adopt some novel methods 

 for choosing suitable names for these new blooms. 



Those intending tn take tbe trip in tbe east should 

 get in touch with Mr. John Young, secretary of the New 



"\'ork Florists' Chili, or Chas. Henr)- Fox, of Philadel- 

 phia, and Henry IV'iin, of Boston, as special parties are 

 Iieing formed from these points. 



The Cleveland b'lower show will be well worth seeing, 

 and we urge a large attendance of superintendents and 

 gardeners of eastern private estates, as it will enable 

 tliem to inspect some of the model places in the suburbs 

 of the Sixth Citv. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW IN EXPOSITION. 



The first of a series of monthly flower shows and 

 lectures on the subject of the cultivation of flowers 

 will be held at the Country Life Permanent Exposi- 

 tion, Grand Central Terminal Building, New York 

 City, on November 1-2. 



The first show will consist of a chrysanthemum ex- 

 hibit. Charles H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., recognized 

 as one of the foremost authorities in this country on 

 chrysanthemum growing, will deliver a lecture on the 

 first day, Monday, November 1, on "The Cultivation 

 of Hardy Chrysanthemums." 



Suitable prizes will be ofifered to private and ama- 

 teur gardeners in competition. Trade exhibits will 

 be invited, but not for competition. An invitation is 

 extended to all garden lovers to attend the show and 

 lecture, to wdiich ther? will be no charge.
