CHICAGO SPECIAL PREMIUMS. 



A Fine Showing of Prizes. 



All the ]>lan8 for tlic Chica<;o Giand 

 Floral Festival, to be held at the Coli- 

 seum, Novenib(>r !• to 14, were fully dis- 

 cussed in a half-day nieetiuf,' of the 

 executive conimittee. hold at the Morri- 

 son hotel, October 21^ when A. Jlender- 

 son, W. N. Kudd, W. ,1. Keiiiud, August 

 I^oehliiiaiin, JV. .). AVietor, F,. F. Kurow- 

 ski, Guy W. French, N. 1'. Miller, E, A. 

 Kanst, I'ayne .lenuings, Robert Brenton, 

 •T. IT. Durdctt, August Koch, James 

 Morton and M. Barker -were in attend- 

 ance. The final premium list is in the 

 hands of the j'riuters and -will be ready 

 for mailing this week. Copies may be 

 had on apiilication to Secretary N. P. 

 Miller, 179 North AVabash avenue, 

 Chicago. 



An item of unusual interest is the 

 twenty-five silver cups being donated 

 by the greenhouse manufacturers of 

 Chicago. Instead of taking space in 

 tlie Coliseum annex, making trade ex- 

 hibits of greenhouses and greenhouse 

 appliances, the same as is usually done 

 at the annual convention of the 

 S. A, F., the greenhouse manufacturers 

 of Chicago suggested that the space be 

 sold to others and that a contribution 

 bo collected among the manufacturers 

 and donated to the show to be used as 

 prizes. Lord & Burnham Co., Foley 

 Mfg. Co., Garland Mfg. Co., Ickes-Braun 

 Mill Co., A. Dietsch Co. and the John 

 C. Moniuger (^o. were represented at a 

 luncheon at the Grand Pacific hotel 

 <X'tobor i;>, at which a subscription 

 was taken and a fund of !<!500 was made 

 up for the jnirchase of silver cups. It 

 is expected that the action of the green- 

 house maiaifacturers in getting together 

 in this way and making a bulk con- 

 tribulion will set a jirecedent for 

 others of the allied trades and the fu- 

 ture may bring more concerted action 

 in fliis direction. P. L. McKee was 

 given authoiity to collect the funds, 

 arrange for publicity and distribution 

 of the ]iri?.es. If is expecte<l they will 

 he exhibited in one of the large stores 

 downtown jirior to the opening of the 

 sliow. 



In addition to the handsome collec- 

 tion of i-ups donated liy greenhouse con- 

 struction .MPinern-; in the vicinity of 

 f'hicago, a l;irge nninber of other siie-
