Horticultural Society Shows. 



Despite early and severe frosts, which 

 robbed it of many intended exhibits, the 

 annual September exhibition of the 

 Ehode Island Horticultural Society, 

 which was held last week in the parlors 

 of the Xarragansett hotel, was most 

 successful. The crowning feature of the 

 show was the large collection of dahlias 

 by professional growers. One of the 

 drawbacks of tliese exliibitions for a 

 number of years has oeen the lack of 

 interest on the part of the professional 

 growers, but tlic last three or four years 

 lias witnessed a more general response 

 by this class to the society's invitations. 



Much interest was created among the 

 amateur exhil)its in tlie competitions for 

 special prizes offered ])y Willis S. Pino, 

 the Michell Co., Joshua Vose and Will- 

 iam Steele. 



Among the winiiers of awards were 

 William Steele, Albert Poultoii, X. J. 

 .lillsoii. A. 11. Solli-w, W. D. Hathawav, 

 C. L. Ailing, Neil Ward and C. K. WaitV. 

 There were gratuities for M. Macnair 

 and .Tdliiistoii Bros.

LANSING, MICH. 



At the suggestion of the leading bank 

 of this city, the florists, with one ex- 

 ception, cooperated in giving a flower 

 show in the capacious bank building. 

 Asters and gladioli were leaders, the 

 latter being labeled. A large collection 

 of varieties was staged. The show was 

 made a society event and lasted one 

 week. Mrs. Harry' E. Saier, who had 

 charge of the exhibit, remarked that 

 there was much work involved, but that 

 the result was satisfactory to all inter- 

 ested. Many notebooks were observed, 

 the owners taking notes of the varieties; 

 some orders already have been received. 



In the midst of building, Mr. Saier 

 made a tl.ving trip east, being a member 

 of the F. T. 1)., a recent addition to 

 the fraternity. He took advantage of 

 the opportunity to exchange ideas. He 

 believes the success he has met with 

 l)roves the truth of the assertion that 

 there is business to be done if one 

 goes about it in the right way. From 

 what be saw he has formed the opinion 

 that the florists in the larger cities need 

 to advertise more than others, their op- 

 portunity for localizing being less. In 

 connection with the local flower show, 

 for instance, all of the flowers were sent 

 to the hospital and the donors received 

 much free jiublicity at the liands of the 

 press. 



]\lr. Saier reports a liaiiner seed liusi- 

 iicss. He is ]iuttiiig up more j,dass and 

 is afraid that the present store, occu- 

 ])ied but two y(>ars, will soon be too 

 small. W. M.
