MOR?] exhibitors could not have been 

 accommodated in tlie Arcadia audi- 

 torium, larg'.' as it is. After reserva- 

 tions were made, tlie allotments were 

 cut flown in sonu' cases in order that 

 additional exhibitors might have the 

 opjiortunity to stage disi)lays. And this 

 condition jirevailed in spite of the fact 

 that greenhouse builders limited the ex- 

 tent of tlu'ir displays because they did 

 m>t wish to take skilled workmen off 

 building jobs when such labor is so 

 scarce, and plantsmen restricted their 

 showings because they tliought it in- 

 advisatdc to exhibit sjiecimens of stock 

 on which they were already sold out. 

 The supply liouses made the most ex- 

 tensive exiiibits and were most strongly 

 rei>resented, jiractically every concern 

 which caters to florists making an ex- 

 hibit. Yet they did not spread them- 

 selves as thev sometimes have. The 



fact is that material is harder to obtain 

 than orders, in every line that florists 

 call for, and the outlook is not toward 

 an immediate or early increase in the 

 supply. 



One who wished, liowever, could buy 

 anything lie needed, from greenhouses 

 to jiins, on the exliibition floor. All 

 departments were well represented and 

 the exhibits were staged with care. The 

 (juality of everything sliown was excel- 

 lent, indicating that the increase in de 

 mand liad not caused a lowering of 

 standards or the substituting of inferior 

 grades of material. Of course, prices 

 are consequently high, but under pres- 

 ent conditions no one expects them to 

 be anything else, unless higher. A few 

 supplies, some bulbs and two Belgian 

 palms were all the foreign goods on the 

 exhibition floor. The quality of the 

 American-grown plants made one won- 



der if, after a year or two, Quarantine 

 Xo. 157 will be much ftdt after all. Prices 

 are higher, on account of the labor, but 

 the quality, some maintain, is also 

 higher. 



Following is a list of those who have 

 space in the trade's display, together 

 with a short description of what each 

 on? shows: 



Advance Co., Richmond, Ind. 



In the exhibit of the American Green- 

 house Mfg. Co. were included ventilat- 

 ing api)aratus of all tyi)es and fittings 

 manufactured by the Advance ("o. R. 

 K. Jones was in charge. 



American Bulb Co., Chicago. 



On the tables of the American Bulb 

 ('o. were cases of three sizes of Formosa 

 lily bulbs expressed from the Pacific 

 coast from the first cargo from .Ia[ian.
