 view are good, no eoliinins interfering. 

 ,\isles are wide enough and exhibitors 

 li;i\t' ojiportiinity to extend thenisehes 

 so far as their wishes may carry them. 

 Large exhiliits, liiiwever, ai'e' not many, 

 railroad rates militating jigainst them, 

 and the result is tluit tlie lloor space 

 is cut up in ;iii irregular \v;iy that does

M. Adler, New York. 



Florists' pins of many \arieties were 

 the leading item in the exhibit of nov- 

 elties staged by M . .\dler. Some were 

 of pl.ain sorts, others of sterling sihcr. 

 Sil\ cr |ilatcd llower b.'iskets, waterproof 

 < hifl'ons, novelty corsage shields were 

 .•iiiiirii;; the other novelties shown. Mil-

 of .\l. .\dlel'. .irrdmp.'lliird the exhibit.

 111 the .\lliei ie;i II ( i Tee II 111 lUse Mfg. Co. 

 drew the interested i llsiieet inn of hun- 



dreds of growers. So simple is its con- 

 struction that it has proved highly pop- 

 ular already this year, about 700,000 

 s(|Uare feet of it being already erected 

 or in |irocess of erection. The work of 

 fitting and cutting is so well done in 

 the f.'ictory that there is little to do in 

 jiidcess of erection save f.'isten the bolts 

 in the ])roper places. The result is an 

 exceedingly live and well built house. 

 P. L. McKee, jiresidcnt of the company, 

 was in charge. 



Basket Shop, Bellefonte, Pa. 



Hand-made reed baskets, in colors, are 

 the specialty of the Basket Shop, and 

 the color combinations obt;iined are re- 

 markable. Jn shaded and solid colors, 

 these baskets lend themselves jiarticu- 

 laily well to either cut tlowers or plants. 

 Fred Lane was with the exhibit. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. 



Many new things were shown in the 

 exhibit of 11. Bayersdorfer & Co. and 

 yet it was stated by Sydney Bayers- 

 dorfer that 100 eases, containing the 

 latest luirchases aliroad 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 

 b;iskets, a metal cont;iiner decorated 

 with hand-|iainted deealcomania thiit aji 

 pe;tls to retailers who know how to till 

 them with garden flowers; imperial 

 (diina in many shapes, vamj) dolls, pre- 

 pared llowers, which are natural garden 

 llowers treatecl to render them imperish 

 able; wood llowers, sat in-linished red 

 bron/e bnskets, sat in finished metal lus- 

 ter wre.aths, ('hristmas gnomes and pre- 

 pared foliages, baskets and staple suji- 

 |ilies ill every form a retailer wants 

 tlieiii. Sydney and 1. Bayersdorfer, S. 



1). Green, Howard Koyer, Edward Thor- 

 sen and John Welsh were with the dis 

 play. 



Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J. 



Unfamiliar sights such as Araucaria 

 ('■xcelsa 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 phcpuix were 

 exhibited in various sizes. Standard 

 azaleas, (iardenia '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 v;iried display of the excellent 

 lines of willow baskets made at the Bur 

 lington Willow Ware Shojis ])roved an 

 interesting exhibit for visitors, by vir 

 tlie of tlie tasteful tints and useful 

 shapes containiMl in it. The baskets 

 ranged from tall standard baskets to 

 small sizes, featuring particularly good 

 shajies 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 ;ind Idack are esjtecially effective. 

 The refrigerator basket-vase, intro 

 dticed by this firm, wins particular no 

 tiee from florists. S. A. Dawson, the 



la the Florists' Supplies Section of the Washington £xhibition> with Display of A. L. Randall Co., Chicago.
