 tendance from throughout the state. 

 The meeting was held at the Athletic 

 Club rooms, where, at the same time, a 

 flower show was put on. 



There was a fine display of many 

 varieties of chrysanthemums, pompons, 

 roses, carnations and other seasonable 

 stock. It was an attractive display and 

 the members were much interested in 

 the varieties shown. 



The Salzer Seed Co. sent down some 

 Betsy Eess chrysanthemums, which 

 made a great impression. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. showed some 

 excellent roses in the standard varieties, 

 and also some fancy carnations, espe- 

 cially of Edna, White Delight and Har- 

 vester. In chrysanthemums the com- 

 pany showed Mrs. C. C. Pollworth,

 Obertin, of Kenosha, showed some fine 

 sweet peas. Kamp & Spinti, of North 

 Milwaukee, also had a fine display. A
