 ticularly flne in flniE>h, as were also Mr. Tyson's 

 flowers of Mrs. G. Lloyd Wigg, Mrs. J. Gib-

 Sailer, superintendent for J. Gordon Douglas,

 variety won flrst for Wm. Huckvale in the class 

 calling for six any crimson variety; James Fra- 

 ser, second, with the same variety. Mr. Huck- 

 vale also received flrst for six any other color, 

 with Mary Mason. 



The vase of flowers with othef foliage, ar- 

 ranged for effect, was won by Robert Tyson, with 

 a beautiful collection of large-flowered pompons 

 and autumn foliage. These vases, exhibited for 

 effect, are always one of the flne features of 

 the Madison show. 



Charles H. Totty secured flrst in the pompon 

 classes and in the commercial classes, as fol- 

 lows: Ten flowers, any yellow, with October 

 King: ten flowers, any pink, with Chieftain;

 were awarded to C. H. Totty for W. H. 

 Waite, bronze; Golden Champion, 

 orange-yellow, and President John 

 Everitt, a bronze with an amaranth re- 

 verse. 



Among the special vases of flowers 

 were the twelve Marigold staged by 

 C. H. Totty. The stage, as usual, was 

 decorated with single, early and large- 

 flowering mums, combined with autumn 

 foliage. This, as in previous years, 

 was taken care of by Mr. Totty. 

 Among the most noticeable flowers on 

 the stage were Lillian Doty, White 

 Doty, Mrs. John A. Stewart, Jr., and 

 other singles, standing five or six feet 

 high. 



This has been an ideal fall for mums, 

 as was proved by the quality of stock 

 staged at the Madison show. 



Soses. 



Among the interesting impressions 

 obtained from this show was an evi- 

 dent change in rose growing in the vi- 

 cinity of Madison — a change indicated 

 by the fact that only two vases of 

 Killamey were staged, and these only 

 in classes that called specifically for 

 that variety. 



In the American Beauty section L. A. Noe, 

 New York, N. Y., easily captured all the flrst 

 prizes. _ _

 Gentlemen: — 



Bnclosed find copy for increased space our 



fall campaign. 



The "Review" certainly is profitable to us. 

 We get as many orders from small space with 

 you as we did from big space in other papers, 

 orders received in the last two weeks through 

 the "Review" pay for increased space for some 

 weeks to come. 



And large space is especially gratifying at 

 this time, when every florist is prepairing 

 to safeguard his greenhouses by buying a few 

 clamps for emergency. 



Any time we can say a good word for you let us 

 know. 



Very truly yours, 

 jt.fi.SK-LUKEB t CO.

 ed first for a graceful exhibit of crotons, ferns,
