Not a Becord for Size. 



The indoor display is excellent. It 

 was found possible to keep it all in the 

 main floor of the armory, without' Using 

 the annex, and the show always gives 

 best satisfaction, both to exhibitors and 

 visitors, when it is all in one room. 

 While this show is far from a record- 

 breaker for size, it is well arranged and 

 appears to offer a complete line of stock 

 Tor the inspection of the buyers. The 

 sale of indoor space has given just half 

 the income that was obtained at Chi- 

 cago last year, but the expenses also 

 are cut in half, so the result to the so- 

 ciety is about the same. The exhibitors, 

 with a brief note on the specialties of 

 each, are as follows: 



Advance Co., Bichmond, Ind. 



Four ventilating machines were in- 

 cluded in the small space of this ex- 

 hibit, two of the Big Advance, one ma- 

 chine for operating side sash and a 

 Little Wonder, shown on a rafter 

 bracket, for top sash. There also was a 

 large line of greenhouse fittings. J. E. 

 .Jones was in charge, assisted by his 

 son, R. E. Jones. 



American Importing Co., Chicago. 



Gold letters and script words were 

 the special feature of this exhibit, but 

 a line of imported artificial flowers was 

 so natural as to command attention. 

 Japanese baskets, cycas leaves, pre- 

 pared adiantum and ruscus in several 

 colors also were shown. F. Gerome, 

 president of the company, was in 

 charge. 



Aphine Mfg. Co., Madison, N. J. 



The full line of fungicides and in- 

 secticides made by this company were 

 shown, including Alpine, Scaline, Fung- 

 ine, Vermine and Nikotiana. M. C. 

 Ebel was in charge. 



A. A. Arnold, Chicago. 



This line of cut flower boxes consists 

 of fifty-six different sizes, made up in 

 eight colors. A new thing was a box 

 for baskets of cut flowers or plants. A 

 new line has Easter lilies, orchids, roses, 

 etc., printed on the covers in natural 

 colors. Another novelty is a holly deco- 

 rated Christmas box. S. Freund was in 

 charge. 



C. D. Ball, Holmesburg, Pa. 



The exhibit consisted only of kentias, 

 arecas and Phoenix Roebelenii, the two 

 former being mostly made-up plants, as 

 it has been found that the better class 

 of trade, using these for decorations, 

 prefers the made-up stock to the single 

 specimens of equal height. C. D. Ball, 

 •Tr., was in charge. 



H. F. Baker, Minneapolis. 



For C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom, Hol- 

 land, this exhibitor staged forty-four 

 baskets of Dutch bulbs, principally hya- 

 cinths and tulips. 



L. Ball, Wyomissing, Fa. 

 Lemuel Ball specialized growing only 

 a few varieties of plants and the estate 

 is continuing along the same lines, so 



that this exhibit contained only three 

 things, kentias, pandanus and cocos, 

 though these were in several sizes. J. 

 W. Wade was in charge. : . « • 



W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. 



This was a comprehensive display 

 and included almost everything a flo- 

 rist would be likely to want: seed cabi- 

 nets, bouquet green, Christmas trees, 

 insecticides, raffia, pots, plant stakes, 

 hose, Brink's sprayer, a full line of fall 

 bulbs, Harrisii, freesias, cold storage 

 giganteums and Chinese sacred lilies, 

 the only ones in the hall, Arnold Eing- 

 ier had as hiis assistant W. M. Beid. 



Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. 



This was a large display of a general 

 line of florists ' supplies. Among the 

 new things were imported humming 

 birds. A line of poinsettia and holly 

 decorated baskets was a novelty. Two- 

 toned crepe paper was shown with both 

 ed^es curled. Twenty-five different 

 styles of wreaths of prepared foliage 

 were shown. To take the place of 

 immortelles, wreaths, stars, balls and 

 crosses of frieze were offered. Steel 

 gray was a new color in Porto Eican 

 mats. Inexpensive reed baskets were 

 made over glass vases. A new color in 

 basket finish was a green bronze, used 

 on any reed or willow basket. The 

 royal vase holder for a 10-inch vase for 

 window decoration was an invention of 

 Sidney Bayersdorfer, who was in charge 

 of the exhibit, assisted by I. M, Bayers- 

 dorfer, Martin Reukauf and S. D. 

 Green. 



Bidwell & Fobes, Kinsman, O. 



This concern took over the gladiolus 

 business, as well as the property of the 

 late Frank Banning. The exhibit con- 

 sisted principally of Panama, Niagara 



and America, although King, Gerirude

 tying rose stake and the continuoml 

 • self-tying carnation support. Adaml 

 Heim, the inventor, was in charj,'e. 



John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. T.l 



When cut spikes of gladioli travel! 

 from Long Island to Minneapolis in I 

 condition to exhibit, it certainly provei 

 the flower to be a shipper,. The varie-l 

 ties shown were Safrano, Alaska, Con- 1 

 trast, Panama, Niagara, NegerfurstJ 

 American, Aline, Norman D. Childs, la- 

 conic, King, Sulphur King, Princepil 

 and I. S. Hendrickson. A few spikes ofl 

 Badenia, a German variety, showed it 

 to be possibly the best lavender to date.] 

 The display was in charge of I. S. Hen- 

 drickson. 



Coldwell Lawn Mower Co., Newboig,! 

 N. Y. ' 



The exhibit consisted of lawn mow- 

 ers propelled by power furnished by I
