THE NATIONAL BOSE SHOW. 



Continuing Last Week's Beport. 



The idea that the national rose fes- 

 tival would continue to improve day by 

 day was faithfully pushed, but did not 

 come out strongly. The show was fully 

 as strong on the first day as at any time 

 thereafter. The new attractions came 

 and they just about kept the show at 

 its high level of quality, without rais- 

 ing the standard of excellence. As far 

 as novelty went, the public did not get 

 started quite so fast as the manage- 

 ment had hoped, so the original display 

 was extremely novel to most people 

 when they arrived. The bad weather 

 March 21 cut down the attendance, 

 which improved notably afterward. 



To resume the description of the 

 show given last week: The dinner at 

 the Bellevue-Stratford, given by the 

 American Rose Society in honor of the 

 judges and visitors of national repute, 

 was attended by some sixty guests. 

 William F. Gude said that all the hor- 

 ticultural leaders of the country were 

 there, ready to assimilate knowledge 

 from the society's melting pot. The 

 $18,000 rose from John Cook, of Balti- 

 more, was a star attraction that eve- 

 ning on the handsomely covered dais in 

 front of the Dreer rose garden. Just 

 wliy it was called the $18,000 rose 

 Sriatly agitated the public. From that 

 same elevation, on the same evening, 

 Mrs. Oliver Cromwell (historic name, 

 tJii't!) christened the new pink- 

 Sli twyer-et-al. seedling from Edward 

 Tiiwill, of Roslyn, Pa., after her mother- 

 in law, Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury. It 

 •■pilly ought to be a good rose to live up 

 t" its sponsor's hopes. 



Wednesday and Thursday. 



Vednesday, March 21, brought the 

 •■' e exhibits of the private gardeners, 

 fl' wers from William Kleinheinz, 

 T. 'imas W. Logan and a single entry 

 'r .m James Fox. 



''""hursday, March 22, brought two 

 •^•^'itestants for the prizes for decorative 

 ''f'^es arranged in 200 square feet of 

 ^'ice. A, N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, 

 "'^•nn., captured the gold medal and first

How Dallas Florists Worked Together to Increase the Use of Flowers. 



prize with a fine display comprising a 

 baker 's dozen or so of varieties. A. Far- 

 enwald, of Roslyn, Pa., won the silver 

 medal, second prize, with five or six 

 commercial varieties, shown in excellent 

 form. 



The miniature cottages in carefully 

 laid out lawns proved attractive to the 

 visitors. Taking it all the way through, 

 it seemed that the crowds lingered most 

 over the three large retail displays ar- 

 ranged by Pennock Bros., J. J. Haber- 

 mehl's Sons and the Gude Bros. Co. 

 The fountain in the center of the long 

 dinner table of the Gude display proved 

 a great attraction. 



While the advertising of the show 

 was extensive, it did not prove so ef- 

 fective as the wonderful high-water 

 mark reached by last year's display. 

 Comparing the two shows, the National 

 Flower Show was much larger and 

 touched a greater variety of interest 

 than the rose festival just closed. The 

 rose festival was more effectively 

 staged. The music was a great addi- 

 tion to the enjoyment of visitors. By 

 request the show remained open Satur- 

 day, March 24, one day longer than 

 originally planned. 



The Florists' Club's "Smoker." 



The entertainment given at the Hotel 

 Adelphia Wednesday evening, March 

 21, by the Florists' Club, in honor of 

 the visitors to the show, was in every 

 way successful. About 300 guests as- 

 sembled to join in what the committee 

 styled a smoker. Charles H. Grakelow, 

 chairman of the committee, has an en- 

 viable reputation as a delightful host, 

 so everyone was satisfied to leave it to 

 the committee, as the invitations ad- 

 vised, and nobody regretted doing so. 



There were refreshments served at so- 

 ciable little tables and mild liquids and 

 lots of fumigation and speeches — not 

 too- many — and a really clever vaude- 

 ville performance on a stage in the 

 room. Everybody knew everybody else, 

 or if they did not it didn't seem to mat- 

 ter, and everybody went home happy. 



The Pierson Awards. 



In the telegraphed list of awards pub- 

 lished last week the awards on Hoosier 

 Beauty, Sunburst, White Killarney, Red 

 Radiance, Milady, Lady Alice Stanley,
