The Florists' Review 



March 80. 1922 



same plants, surrounded by a small cir- 

 cular pond, bordered also with tulips. 

 Two oolong beds at the rear are com- 

 posed of hyacinths. The display was 

 excellently set up and the quality of the 

 stock used was high. 



Since it is close, we might skip di- 

 rectly across the hall to the bulb gar- 

 den of the Wayside Gardens Co., Men- 

 tor, 0., which took second prize. Nar- 

 cissi bordered either side and ever- 

 greens formed a somber background at 

 the back. Plots of tulips occupied the 

 middle distance and a border in front 

 added to the finish. 



Kurume Azaleas. 



Resuming our walk down the right 

 aisle, we see next the Kurume azaleas 

 of Henry A. Dreer, Inc. The eleven 

 specimens shown are full of bloom, with 

 large heads, and win much attention. 

 This exhibit received a silver medal. 



Bedding platr^ of a wide variety 

 make up a display made by the Indian- 

 apolis Water Co. 



Then comes the display of genistas 

 by Wiegand's, and next the six Bou- 

 gainvillea Crimson Lake of Henry A. 

 Dreer, Inc., which won a silver medal. 



Lars Anderson 's lilies are splendid. 

 Next them are the Cineraria stellata 

 that captured first prize for the A. Wie- 

 gand's Sons Co. Then the same firm's 

 display of flowering and foliage plants 

 arranged for effect, and in the corner 

 the twenty-five pots of lilies which took 

 first prize for Bertermann Bros. Co., tall, 

 fine plants. 



Down the Left Aisle. 



If we follow the same course down 

 the left aisle, we find, in the front cor- 

 ner, H, W. Rieman's Sons' display of 

 flowering and foliage plants, which cap- 

 tured second prize. 



Next is the splendid array of hydran- 

 geas from Wiegand's, magnificent 

 plants, with a huge urn filled with them 

 in the center of the group. 



We have noted Merkel 's rose garden 

 and the bulb garden of the Wayside 

 Gardens Co. In between is the arch ar- 

 rangement of roses by A. N. Pierson, 

 which took first prize. 



Beyond the Wayside Gardens Co. 

 bulb garden are the prize-winning tulips 

 of the Friedley Co., Cleveland. Then 

 Merkel 's splendid genistas. 



Adjoining is the 50-foot bulb display 

 which took first prize for the A. Wie- 

 gand's Sons Co. Daffodils form the 

 center, while about them are pink and 

 red tulips, and a border is formed by 

 blue, white and blush hyacinths. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. have a splendid 

 display of foliage and flowering plants 

 back here, grouped about a gazing 

 globe, and in the corner are lilies from 

 the same firm. 



F. T. D. Booth. 



In the rockeries that form the base 

 of the towering exhibit of the Florists' 

 Telegraph Delivery Association are ar- 

 ranged various competitive exhibits, in- 

 cluding the six Bougainvillea Sanderiana 

 of A. N. Pierson and the cut orchids 

 and the valley, pans of Bertermann 

 Bros. Co. Directly in front, a vase of 

 Rose American Legion, from the orig- 

 inator, Edward Towill, Roslyn, Pa., was 

 a center of attention, being much ad- 

 mired by the public. 



The F. T. D. display itself was a fig- 

 ure of Mercury on a pillar surmounting 

 a globe against a background of blue. 

 White strings, decorated with rose buds, 

 and legends on the background were in- 

 tended to typify telegraph service. 

 Models of flower stores, telegraph wires 

 and delivery cars in the foreground, as 

 illustrating delivery of flowers by wire. 



PrUe-Winning Lilies of Beftermaim Broi. Co. Made an Effective Group. 



aroused the curiosity of the visitors. 

 Behind and beneath this monumental 

 display were the association's headquar- 

 ters, where messages might be tele- 

 graphed. 



At Sight of HalL 



Ascending from the sunken area, we 

 shall start at the front and go down 

 the right side of the hall. Along the 

 wall are trade displays which are de- 

 scribed in another place. A broad aisle 

 separates these from a line of exhibits, 

 which in turn are separated by another 

 wide aisle from those which border on 

 the sunken space. 



First we encounter the display of cut 

 blooms made by the E. C. Amling Co., 

 Chicago, which shows the stock regu- 

 larly received by this firm from its 

 growers. Among the roses are some 

 splendid Premier, Columbia, Ophelia, 

 Mme. Butterfly and Double White Kil- 

 larney. Carnations, snapdragons and 

 daffodils fill other vases. On a table 

 near by are smaller flowers and season- 

 able stock, including pansies, freesias, 

 stocks, marguerites, sweet peas and 

 forget-me-nots. The wide variety and 

 the excellence of the display brought 

 much attention from the public, as well 

 as from retailers and growers present. 



Adjoining are some of the competi- 

 tive classes of miscellaneous cut flow- 

 ers. In them is excellent stock from a 

 number of Indianapolis firms. The lilies 

 of the Roepke Floral Co., the snapdrag- 

 ons of Baur & Steinkamp, and Temper- 

 ley's calendulas and callas are particu- 

 larly fine. 



A plot of large specimens of Pan- 

 danus Veitchii from the Indianapolis 

 park board separates these cut flowers 

 from a group of primulas and cinerarias 

 from E. H. Rieman, Indianapolis, some 

 of which were among the prize-winners. 

 Ferns and geraniums combined with 

 these, and a background of larger fo- 

 liage plants set off the whole to the best 

 advantage. 



The group of foliage and flowering 

 plants which came next is the only 

 one staged by a private grower in the 

 hall. Mrs. Hugh McK. Landon, one of 

 the warm supporters of the undertak- 

 ing, shows pot roses, ferns, bulbous 

 plants, etc. 



Farther back are the primulas, be- 

 gonias and callas of E. E. Temperley, 

 which took prizes. Other plants are 

 mixed to give the desired ornamental 

 effect. 



Retailers ' Exhibits. 



Turning to the right and coming back 

 along the row which stands midway 

 between the sunken area and the trade 

 exhibits along the wall, one finds chiefly 

 retailers' displays, put up for the pur- 

 pose of interesting the public. 



Farthest back is that of the Pahud 

 Floral Co., composed of a basket of 

 cinerarias in the center, with daffo- 

 dils, tulips, hyacinths and ferns along 

 the front, and lilies and calendulas 

 among the ferns and blooms at the rear. 



An urn made of carnations, a white 

 body with a pink neck, was decorated 

 with cattleyas and filled with roses by 

 George R. Gause, Richmond, Ind. A 

 spray of roses at the base and trim- 

 mings of smilax add to the effect, which 

 the visiting public found reason to ex- 

 claim over. 



John Heidenreich has filled a square 

 space with cinerarias of all colors, about 

 100 in all. The plants show excellent 

 culture.
