GLADIOLUS SOCIETY OF OHIO. 



The Fourth Exhibition and Flower 

 Show of this Society was heal in the 

 Assembly rooms of the Hnlienden 

 Hotel, Cleveland, O., on Frid,i.y and 

 Saturday, Aug. 18-19. The season has 

 been in many ways a most unfavor- 

 able one, and the growers were pre- 

 pared for a scanty exhibit, but were 

 very agreeably surprised at the show- 

 ing of splendid gladioli that graced the 

 benches. While not equal in magni- 

 tude or numbers to that of last year, 

 it was quite as good as that of two 

 years ago. which all remember as a 

 very gratifying success. Many fine dis- 

 plays were made, and probably the 

 most striking feature of the exhibits 

 was the fine new varieties and seed- 

 lings which indicate the spirit of prog- 

 ress in this line. The list of awards 

 is given below: 



Best vase Red, James F. Ryehlik ; 2d, 

 same. Best vase of Pink, Guy Hate; 2d,

Owing to the difficulty of securing 

 a quorum, the business meeting and 

 election of officers was postponed to 

 a called meeting in the future. The 

 table decorations by The Jones. Rus- 

 sell Co., The J. M. Gasser Co.. and 

 Knoble Brothers were very effective 

 and pleasing. Also the basket dis- 

 plays of Knoble Brothers, Paul Hahn, 

 A. M. Albrecht and Ernest Wilhelmy 

 were given special notice by the 

 judges, though not entered for com- 

 petition. Altogether the exhibition 

 was very satisfactory and with a bal- 

 ance in the treasury the society is en- 

 couraged to continue its work.

THE "INTERNATIONAL" FOR 1917. 



The first preliminary schedule of 

 the International Flower Show at New 

 York, to be held on March 16-2.3, 1917, 

 has been sent out this week. As 

 heretofore, the exhibition will be held 

 under the auspices of the Horticul- 

 tural Society of New York and the 

 New York Florists' Club. There are 

 some stunning prizes in all the classes. 

 One of the first things John Young 

 jumped into on his return from Hous- 

 ton was the active wcfrk on this big 

 affair, and he found President Have- 

 meyer ready and waiting for him. 

 Clear the track.

DURING RECESS. 

 Albany Florists' Club. 

 The Albany Florists' Club had a 

 glorious outing and clambake at 

 Henkes, Grill, Watervleit, N. Y., on 

 Saturday, August 19. There were 164 

 people present, of whom fully one-half 

 were ladies. The organization of the 

 affair was simply invulnerable. As a

 head waiter, and his brother, Ed. 

 Tracey, as caretaker and purveyor 

 for the ladies took to his job as a duck 

 takes to water. Prank Conly, of The 

 Rosary, was the chief dispenser of 

 soda water and accordingly popular, 

 but the bright star was F. A. Danker, 

 treasurer, who kept his eye and his 

 fingers on the money. Robert Davi- 

 son, secretary, made a record as a 

 phenomenal eater, and R. J. Irwin 

 and wife, who were visitors from New 

 York, experienced the surprise of their 

 life. Another visitor who took in all 

 there was to enjoy was .Tas. Sneiden,
