The quality is exceptionally good this seas(m, and the advantages of buying direct from a large 

 grower where the flowers are cut, graded and kept chilled until the customer receives them, together 

 with prices no higher than others charge, make our stock a very attractive proposition.

 trimmed with arbor-vitse, which give 

 them the appearance of trees. The hall 

 is prettily staged with benches and 

 tables for the exhibitors, of whom there 

 are a good number. The largest space 

 is occupied by James Vick's Sons, who 

 have a wonderful display of annuals 

 and perennials. The most interesting 

 feature is their new yellow aster, not 

 yet named. They are showing a good 

 quantity of bulbs. The exhibit is in 

 charge of the Misses Burns and Fuller 

 and George L. Case. 



Notes of the Exhibits. 



Arthur M. Newborn received much 

 comment on his exclusive collection of 

 everlasting strawflowcrs. A handsome 

 wreath of oak leaves decorated with 

 gypsophila and statice was shown, as 

 well as several corsages and clusters of 

 everlastings. Baskets of named va- 

 rieties attracted those who carry note- 

 books. 



The Rochester park department has 

 an elaborate display of ferns, palms, 

 dracsenas, begonias, gloxinias and three

 suspended from the ceiling. These are 

 a novelty and attract large crowds. 



Jacob Thomann & Sons have an un- 

 usual display in which gladioli are the 

 principal feature. They are staged in 

 baskets and on pedestals. Large baskets 

 of good asters also are included. This 

 exhibit is in charge of Fred Thomann. 



IT. E. Wilson shows a collection of 

 palms, bay trees and ferns and vases of 

 gladioli and asters, besides contesting 

 for premiums for gladioli, roses, carna-

 exhibit also includes a fine lot of varie- 

 gated plants.

 has a pleasing display of gladioli.
