The Florists^ Review

Rose Garden of A. N. Plerson, Inc., Which Took First Prize at Indianapolis, and Roland's Acacias Behind It. 



Co., big pans of white hyacinths make 

 a striking feature. Baskets of sweet 

 peas and tulips are well arranged. Ken- 

 tias, araucarias, crotons and phcenix 

 give background to the display. 



An arbor decorated to form an in- 

 door garden by the Circle Floral Shop, 

 Indianapolis, is unusual. White rose 

 plants at the corner columns and white 

 furniture, on which stand baskets of 

 lilacs, roses and daffodils, with smilax 

 festooned over all, create an effect that 

 brings r^uch attention. 



The remaining exhibit in the row is 

 that of M. Brandlein, Indianapolis. 

 This space is lined with small pots of 

 pandanus, with larger specimens at the 

 corners. Ferns in urns and baskets of 

 cut flowers occupy the space, with some 

 specimens of excellent cinerarias jjroni- 

 inent. 



To the Left. 



As one starts down the space at 

 the left of the hall, the display of cut 

 flowers from members of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association catches 

 the eye. It is a profuse arrangement 

 of the chief items of stock to be found 

 in a wholesale cut flower house at this 

 time of year. There are roses, car- 

 nations, valley, sweet peas, calendulas, 

 stocks, » daffodils, Narcissus poeticus, 

 snapdragons, daisies, lilies and del- 

 phinium. The variety of the array in- 

 terests many persons. 



Across the aisle are vases of cut flow- 

 ers sent from Philadelphia from the 

 S. S. Pennock Co., which show the high 



quality of the roses grown for that 

 market. 



Adjacent are two vases of Solanum 

 jasniinoides, from W. A. Manda, South 

 Orange, N. J., a flower which the ex- 

 hibitor believes will be valuable to re- 

 tailers who grow their own stock. 



A big vase of the rose Frank W. 

 Dunlop, from John 11. Dunlop & Son, 

 Richmond Hill., Ont., was examined 

 closely by the rose growers at the show 

 Monday. A yellow sport of Ophelia, 

 carrying big blooms, w.os also viewed 

 with much interest. 



Farther down the aisle is a square 

 space filled with hybrid tea roses and 

 hybrid i)erpetual roses in pots, from 

 the Daisy Hill Farms, Chagrin Falls, O., 

 an interesting exhibit, the components 

 of which took a couple of prizes. 



The hydrangeas of Lars Anderson, 

 Rocky River, O., are a splendid sight. 

 Some of them stand here. Mr. Ander- 

 son exhibits so many hydrangeas that 

 they are to be found in many parts of 

 the hall. It might be noted that he 

 took first prize in every class offered 

 for them, numbering four, while the 

 plants of A. Wiegand 's Sons Co. were 

 close rivals, taking second in every 

 class. 



Farther down this aisle are competi- 

 tive exhibits of various kinds, such as 

 azaleas, forsythias, ramblers, hyacinths, 

 cinerarias, daffodils, etc., from Berter- 

 mann Bros. Co., Indianapolis, and the 

 Friedley Co., Cleveland, whose high 

 quality is better indicated by their rep- 



resentation in the list of awards than 

 by description here. 



More Retailers' Exhibits. 



The center row of exhibits, as on the 

 far side of the liall, is chiefly of local 

 retailers' exhibits. If we come back 

 along this row, we encounter first that 

 (if E. E. Temperley, which is well 

 comjiosed of baskets of mixed flowers, 

 ferns and rafiia furniture. 



Next is a cliarming arrangement of 

 baskets, chiefly of roses, but also of 

 other flowers, which are lit by stand- 

 Jird lamps. This is l)y A. Wiegand 's 

 Sons Co. Cibotiums furnish a grace- 

 ful background. 



The display of H. W. Rieman's Sons 

 centers about a fountain in a rockery. 

 Bulbous plants and baskets of cut flow- 

 ers, and pots of marguerites, azaleas 

 and cinerarias are so combined as to 

 produce an effect most attractive. 



A marble table surmounted by a huge 

 bowl of American Beauty roses makes 

 the display of Bertermann Bros. Co. 

 an exceedingly striking one. Baskets 

 of valley and orchids heighten the 

 effect. The space is covered with adian- 

 tums, which, with cibotiums at the 

 bai'k, produce an effective setting. 



At the front of the row is the ex- 

 hibit of the Marer Flower Shop, Indian- 

 apolis, which contains attractive ar- 

 rangements in baskets.
