 second vice-president, Chas. H. Vick, 

 Rochester; third vice-president, F. R. 

 Pierson, Tarry town; secretary, John 

 Young, New York; treasurer, W. A. 

 Adams, Buffalo. The chair appointed 

 P. R. Pierson chairman of the legisla- 

 tive committee and George Thorp chair- 

 man of the state fair committee, and 

 they were given power to name their 

 own committees. 



The report of the treasurer showed a 

 substantial balance in the treasury. The 

 meeting adjourned until next February, 

 when there will be a meeting in Ithaca, 

 during farmers' week.

KOHANKIE'S FIELD OF PHLOX. 



Painesville, O., is noted for its nurs- 

 ery and florists' stock. It is also noted 

 for its Kohankies, who are in part 

 responsible for its fame for the former. 

 Among those so responsible is Julius 

 Kohankie, whose phlox, such as is 

 shown ill the accompanying illustra- 

 tion, becomes yearly better known to 

 members of the trade. Perhaps not the 

 least interesting detail will be Mr. 

 Kohankie 's comment: "These are the 

 phlox I sell each year through my 

 classified ads in The Review." 



ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. 



About the TJsnal Flower Show. 



Advancing the date of the Illinois 

 state fair, annually held at Springfield, 

 and reducing somewhat the appropria- 

 tion for premiums did not appreciably 

 affect either the size of the flower show 

 or the interest taken in it. The show, 

 as usual, occupies the center of the 

 building and attracts so much atten- 

 tion that it is necessary to rope it off 

 from the public. 



The Plant Classes. 



There was excellent competition in 

 the plant classes, the Springfield florists 

 securing their share of the awards only 

 by defeating two good out-of-town 

 growers. Only two classes failed to fill. 

 These exhibits were staged September 

 20 and the awards were:
