THE ILLINOIS STATE FAIB. 



Monday, September 10, marked the 

 opening day of the floricultural section 

 of the Illinois state fair at Springfield. 

 The display was entirely of plants, the 

 cut flowers and designs following on 

 succeeding days. J. F. Ammann, of Ed- 

 wardsville, 111., acted as judge, and the 

 department could not have selected a 

 better man for this. Mr. Ammann made 

 the awards from the standpoint of artis- 

 tic arrangement and skill as well as 

 from that of color and variety. Compe- 

 tition was not keen, for on the first day 

 there are usually few exhibitors, and

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



The Market. 



The weather last week, cold and dark, 

 was much on the fall order and the stock 

 in the market showed the effects. While 

 there are still some garden flowers to be 

 had, they are fast disappearing. Gail- 

 lardias, cosmos, marigolds and zinnias 

 continue in good supply. Bonnaffon 

 chrysanthemums are in the market. The 

 supply of rubrum and Easter lilies is 

 small. Orchids are almost unobtainable. 

 Roses are in good supply and of fine 

 quality. Richmond, Killarney and White 

 Killarney, Mrs. Hearst, Milady, Kaiser- 

 in and other varieties of roses all sell 

 well. Good chrysanthemums are com- 

 ing from the local growers. Asters 

 have been scarce this year. 



State Fair Exhibits. 



A number of local growers and retail- 

 ers had exhibits at the state fair last 

 week. While the number of entries in 

 the various classes was not large, some 

 fine flowers and designs were shown. 



A partial list of the prize-winners 

 and classes follows: ..(''''
