THE TRADE'S DISPLAY 



rti(Svitrstii«viirsvir)«vir)«vir?svitysviivs\ir/Svir?w»Y;ir«^^^^ 



UNPREPOSSESSING as it may be 

 from the outside, being the sec- 

 ond story of one of those central 

 market houses commoner to cities of the 

 east than of the west, convention hall is 

 one of the best inside that the society 

 has had in recent years for its display. A 

 high-arched roof gives it a spacious 

 appearance, and the light and general 

 view are good, no columns interfering. 

 Aisles are wide enough and exhibitors 

 have opportunity to extend themselves 

 so far as their wishes may carry them. 

 Large exhibits, however, are not many, 

 railroad rates militating against them, 

 and the result is that the floor space 

 is cut up in an irregular way that does 

 not produce an artistic whole. Descrip- 

 tion of the individual exhibits follows: 



M. Adler, New York. 



Florists' pins of many varieties were 

 the leading item in the exhibit of nov- 

 elties staged by M. Adler. Some were 

 of plain sorts, others of sterling silver. 

 Silver-plated flower baskets, waterproof 

 chiffons, novelty corsage shields were 

 among the other novelties shown. Mil- 

 ton Adler and Alexander Adler, the sons 

 of M. Adler, acconipaniod the exhibit. 



American Bulb Co., Chicago. 



Vases of blooms from the corms sold 

 by the American Bulb Co. showed the 

 quality of this firm 's stock. Some cases 

 of bulbs and sanijjles of florists' supplies, 

 including bulb bowls, artificial flowers, 

 pot covers, frieze, etc., were exhibited. 

 I. Rosnosky was in cliarge. 



American Oreenhouse Mfg. Co., CMcago. 



A model of the new steel-bar house 

 of tlie American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 

 drew the interested inspection of hun- 



dreds of growers. So simple is its con- 

 struction that it has proved highly pop- 

 ular already this year, about 700,000 

 square feet of it being already erected 

 or in process of erection. The work of 

 fitting and cutting is so well done in 

 the factory that there is little to do in 

 process of erection save fasten the bolts 

 in the proper places. The result is an 

 exceedingly live and well built house. 

 P. L. McKee, president of the company, 

 was in charge. 



Basket Shop, Bellefonte, Fa. 



Hand-made reed baskets, in colors, are 

 the specialty of the Basket Shop, and 

 the color combinations obtained are re- 

 markable. In shaded and solid colors, 

 these baskets lend themselves particu- 

 larly well to either cut flowers or plants. 

 Fred Lane was with the exhibit. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. 



Many new things were shown in the 

 exhibit of H. Bayersdorfer & Co. and 

 yet it was stated by Sydney Bayers- 

 dorfer that 100 cases, containing the 

 latest purchases abroad by the head of 

 the house,, had not been allowed through 

 the customs in time for display. As it 

 was, however, there were the Manning 

 baskets, a metal container decorated 

 with hand-painted decalcomania that ap- 

 peals to retailers who know how to fill 

 them with garden flowers; imperial 

 china in many shapes, vamp dolls, pre- 

 j)ared flowers, which are natural garden 

 flowers treated to render them imperish- 

 able; wood flowers, satin-finished red 

 bronze baskets, satin-finished metal lus- 

 ter wreaths, Christmas gnomes and pre- 

 pared foliages, baskets and staple sup- 

 plies in every form a retailer wants 

 them. Sydney and I. Bayersdorfer, S. 



D. Green, Howard Eoyer, Edward Thor- 

 sen and John Welsh were with the dis- 

 play. 



Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J. 



Unfamiliar sights such as Araucaria 

 excelsa greeted one in Bobbink & At- 

 kins' display. This firm is endeavoring 

 to make up for the stock lost through 

 the enforcement of Quarantine 37 and 

 is in fair way to succeed so far as one 

 firm is able. Kentias and phoenix were 

 exhibited in various sizes. Standard 

 azaleas. Gardenia Veitchii, Genista race- 

 mosa. Erica melanthera and evergreens 

 in boxes were other items among a num- 

 ber shown. Fred L. Atkins was present. 



Botanical Nursery Co., Lapeer, Mich. 



In a booth built of rustic boughs the 

 Botanical Nursery Co. displayed ever- 

 green wreaths, baby Christmas trees 

 and dried flowers and grasses for re- 

 tailers' use, an interesting and, for 

 many, an instructive exhibit. Mrs. Mil- 

 dred Mason Adams was again in charge. 



Burlington Willow Ware Shops, 



The varied display of the excellent 

 lines of willow baskets made at the Bur- 

 lington Willow Ware Shops proved an 

 interesting exhibit for visitors, by vir- 

 tue of the tasteful tints and useful 

 shapes contained in it. The baskets 

 ranged from tall standard baskets to 

 small sizes, featuring particularly good 

 shapes in the most generally used sizes. 

 The baskets of any size may be finished 

 in one of thirty-six tones. A new gold 

 tone and one two-tone combination of 

 gold and black are especially effective. 

 The refrigerator basket-vase, intro- 

 duced by this firm, wins particular no- 

 tice from florists. S. A. Dawson, the 



In the Florists* Supplies Section of the Washington Exhibition, with Display of A. L. Randall Co^ Chicago.
