these are used principally, but Mr. 

 Schroeter says he never before has 

 found it so diflScult to get medium 

 Beauties in quantity as it was this 

 week. 



Roy Wilcox, of J. F. Wilcox & Sons, 

 Council Bluflfs, la., was a visitor on 

 the market September 22. H. W. Voss, 

 who has charge of the retail end of 

 the Wilcox business, was with him. 



H. W. Koerner, the Milwaukee gla- 

 diolus grower, was in town last week 

 with an armful of spikes of his new 

 late pink variety, Twilight Chief. He 

 also had some fine flowers of a large 

 single white dahlia that he called 

 Snowstorm until he found someone had 

 beat him to it on that name, so how he 

 calls it Snowflake. Mr. Koerner says 

 the Milwaukee market did not want 

 <lahlias when he first shipped them, 

 but now takes all he can cut, and at 

 good prices. 



Visitors: Henry Ostertag, N. Kings- 

 ley, W. A. Seeger, Jr., and R. J. Wind-

 Orleans Horticultural Society was held 

 September 18 at the Association of 

 Commerce building. President P. A. 

 Chopin was in the chSir. Paul Abele 

 acted as secretary in the absence of 

 C. R. Panter. Many members were 

 present and the meeting was a spirited 

 one from beginning to end. 



The flower show to be held at the 

 opening of the Southern States Fair in 

 November, 1914, is creating a wide- 

 spread interest among the local florists. 

 The following were appointed on the 

 arrangements committee for the show: 

 C. W. Eichling, chairman; P. A. Chopin, 

 ex-oflBcio; C. R. Panter, secretary; 

 Joseph Steckler, treasurer; Paul Abele, 

 A. Alost, E. Baker, Chas. Eble, H. C. 

 Doescher, J. A. Newsham, H. Papworth 

 and Frank Reyes. The society intends 

 to make this show the largest ever held 

 in the south and intends to combine

 manufacturers of florists' supplies. C. 

 W. Eichling pointed out the opportu- 

 nity for an excellent outdoor exhibit on

account of our mild winter, referring to 

 the sensation made at the Minneapolis 

 convention. 



At the next meeting in October, a 

 contest for the best grown plant will 

 take place. Members wishing to take 

 part should bring any variety of ferns; 

 no restrictions as to size of pot. Each 

 firm entering the contest is entitled to 

 show only one plant, thus putting indi- 

 vidual growers on an equal footing with 

 those places of business that have more 



than one member affiliated with the 

 society. Prizes in the nature of cer- 

 tificates of merit will be awarded by a 

 secret ballot of the members present. 

 The plants will be placed on exhibit the 

 following morning and the public in- 

 vited to view the exhibition. This fea- 

 ture is bound to arouse interest and 

 new activity among the members and 

 bring the society in a novel way before 

 the flower loving public.
