ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. 



Flower Show a Big Success. 



The Illinois state fair flower show 

 was an excellent success this year, 

 rather better than usual, in spite of the 

 fact that the competition in the later 

 days was not so strong as earlier in the 

 week. The fair runs' so many days that 

 the cut flower classes are repeated, 

 some of them being up three times and 

 calling for exactly the same exhibit 

 each time. The principal awards were 

 published in last week's issue of The 

 Review. The later ones follow:

 fused because of the good location and 

 the length of time established.
