TRADE EXHIBITS. 



"Supply Men's AUey." 



The original plan of filling the Palm 

 room, on the floor above the room in 

 which the P. T. D. convention meetings 

 were held at the Hotel Claypool, with 

 exhibits from supply houses and dis- 

 seminators of plant novelties was aban- 

 doned because the former sought rooms 

 on the floor below and the latter failed 

 to make the hoped-for showing. The 

 date was too early for the growers to 

 show much. The supply men, however, 

 settled so thickly along the corridor 

 leading to the assembly room that it 

 was dubbed "Supply Men's Alley." 

 Salesmen from the leading supply 

 houses opened their trunks and in some 

 cases supplemented this showing by 

 cases of new goods shipped direct from 

 headquarters. The exhibits, if such 

 they may be termed, drew many visitors 

 and led to the booking of many orders. 

 Reports seemed generally optimistic in 

 regard to preparations for an excellent 

 season's trade in retail flower stores. 



Baur & Stelnkamp, Indianapolis. 



On a table in the assembly room was 

 a vase of Harvester carnations of good 

 quality from the greenhouses of Baur & 

 Steinkamp, Indianapolis. Some yellow 

 exhibition chrysanthemums, seedling No. 

 818, were also shown. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. 



Two big trunks filled the large room 

 occupied by H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 Philadelphia, when Isaac Bayersdorfer 

 had arranged the assortment of baskets, 

 wreaths, ribbwns, artificial flowers and 

 other supplies which accompanies him 

 about. Howard Royer was with him. 

 Three cases of new baskets, mostly from 

 Europe, were belated, though shipped 

 from Philadelphia early the week be- 

 fore. 



Burlington Willow Ware Shops, Bur- 

 lington, la. 



After William F. Thomas had opened 

 up his trunks to show the Burlington 

 Willow Ware Shops ' ware in baskets of 

 green and brown and the attractive 

 ivory tone, Arthur Schwerin, head of 

 the firm, brought some more stock from 

 Burlington, la., making an excellently 

 assorted display. Robert Newcomb was 

 likewise present. 



V 



Chicago Flower Growers' Association, 

 Chicago. 



Vases of long-stemmed roses of stand- 

 ard varieties from the growers of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 showed the quality of stock from that 

 market. Manager Paul R. Klingsporn 

 was in attendance. 



J. W. Davis Co., Terre Haute, Ind. 



Cyclamen plants of good culture from 

 the J. W. Davis Co., Terre Haute, Ind., 

 filled one of the tables in the conven- 

 tion hall. Two nephrolepis plants were 

 shown from the same greenhouses. 



Kemxj A. Dreer, Inc., Pliiladelphia. 



Some splendidly colored crotons were 

 shown by Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Phila- 

 delphia. The firm's exhibit included 

 also good specimens of kentias, nephro- 

 lepis, ficus and boxwood. J. J. Karins 

 accompanied the exhibit. 



Fritts & Bell Mfg. Co., Chattanooga, 

 Tenn. 



The "immortelle flower vase" was 

 exhibited on a table in the assembly 

 room by the Fritts & Bell Mfg. Co., 

 Chattanooga, Tenn. Constructed of 

 heavy corrugated rolled metal and made 

 with a prong that holds the vase firmly 

 in the ground, this article commends it- 

 self to florists doing cemetery work. 

 A. H. Bell, of the firm, was with the 

 exhibit. 



Carl Hagenburger, Mentor, Ohio. 



In the convention hall Carl Hagen- 

 burger showed a specimen of his new 

 cherry, Brilliant, as well as a number of 

 plants of his Cleveland cherry, hy- 

 drangeas and several sorts of foliage 

 plants. All showed the usual good cul- 

 ture of the Mentor expert, who was 

 present. 



E. G. Hill Co., Bichmond, Ind. 



In the convention hall were some 

 splendid vases of roses from the E. G. 

 Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. — Citronelle, a 

 pale lemon faintly tipped with pink; 

 White Ophelia, a white sport of the 

 famous pink variety, and Golden 

 Ophelia, a deep yellow sport of the same 

 parent. 



Allan N. Humason, Chicago. 



In addition to a full line of baskets 

 of the Raedlein Basket Co. make and 

 photographs of wicker furniture, A. N. 

 Humason, with the assistance of his 

 brother, C. Dewey Humason, exhibited 

 some wax and velvet flowers that won 

 visitors' admiration. 



Fred H. Lemon & Co., Bichmond, Ind. 



Three new varieties of rosea were ex- 

 hibited by Fred H. Lemon & Co., Rich- 

 mond, Ind., in the assembly hall. These 

 were Freedom, a deep red; Angelas, a 

 large pure white, and seedling No. 28, 

 a pale yellow. 



Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh. 



Chief among the lines exhibited by 

 the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pitts- 

 burgh, were sunbeam or rainbow pods, 

 one of the attractively colored grasses 

 being favored by florists. Wreaths, 

 baskets and other retailers' lines were 

 shown. Permanite, the greenhouse glaz- 

 ing cement, was also included in the ex- 

 hibit, which was set up by H. A. Frish- 

 korn. 



A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago. 



From Chicago the A. L. Randall Co. 

 sent a special shipment representing a 

 number of its lines. Most conspicuous 

 were baskets and artificial flowers. Rib- 

 bons and chiffons were well represented. 

 Colonial bouquet holders, both of the 

 plain sort and with ehiflfon and lace 

 trimmings, drew much notice from vis- 

 itors. An electric fountain, a usual fea- 

 ture of this firm's exhibits, was in ac- 

 tion. H. E. Anderson, H. A. Anderson 

 and R. D. MacDonald represented the 

 company. 



M. Bice Co., Philadelphia. 



A variety of wreaths, colored grasses 

 of various sorts, baskets, ribbons, chif- 

 fons and other articles of the Keystone 

 line were displayed by the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia. With the exhibit were 

 H. Heileman and J. P. McCarthy. 



Smith & Yoimg Co., Indianapolis. 



Wreaths of magnolia leaves and of 

 wax flowers formed a principal part of 

 the display of Smith & Young Co., In- 

 dianapolis. Other lines, such as baskets, 

 ribbons, chiffons and other retailers' 

 supplies, were also shown. Manager 

 Oscar G. Carlstedt greeted visitors. 



q. W. Strout, Biddeford, Me. 



Vases of Maine Sunshine and White 

 Delight shipped from C. W. Strout 's at 

 Biddeford, Me., and exhibited on a table 

 in the assembly room were of excellent 

 quality, although it is early for good 

 blooms of new-crop carnations. Stems 

 of White Delight were notably long and 

 sturdy. 



Bolf Zetlitz Co., Lima, O. 



A table in the convention hall was 

 covered by some fine specimens of cher- 

 ries, cyclamen, peppers and poinsettia 

 and chrysanthemum plants from the 

 greenhouses of the Rolf Zetlitz Co., 

 Lima, O. J. C. Fletcher represented the 

 firm. 



GEO WEES' DIBECTOBS MEET. 



The board of directors of the National 

 Flower Growers' Association met at the 

 Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, October 12, 

 to discuss the questions covering dues 

 left in their hands by the association at 

 the Cleveland meeting. After thorough 

 discussion it was decided to recommend 

 to the association the adoption of the 

 sections of the by-laws in question just 

 as they were presented at Cleveland. 

 This recommendation will be made be- 

 fore the meeting of the association's 

 delegates at Washington in January. 

 The board set the date as the day be- 

 fore the convention of the American 

 Carnation Society. By that time it is 

 expected about ten or a dozen locals will 

 have been organized, each of which will 

 send delegates to Washington. 



CHBISTMAS CHEBBY. 



Is the fruit, or cherry, of the Christ- 

 mas or Cleveland cherry poisonous? I 

 am afraid to have them around where 

 there are children. E. T. O. — 111. 



Christmas, Cleveland, or any of the 

 other varieties of cherry are not poison- 

 ous in any way. They belong to the 

 same family as the tomato, solanum, and 

 are as harmless. Carl Hagenburger.
