TheWcckly Florists' Review. 



Exhibit of A. C. Greiner, of St. Louis, at the World's Fair Flower Show. 



stock, and as usual Fendley's violets 

 showed jip to good advantage. 



In design work W. Sewell, foreman 

 and designer for J, S. Simmons, entered 

 in his own name and beat his employer 

 for the coveted red ticket for the spe- 

 cial design of the show. The anchor 

 was an ideal ship anchor with chain and 

 was a very fine piece. In the baskets 

 and table pieces the competi^i0n~"was 

 keen and much was left to the taste of 

 the judge. J. McKenna, of Montreal, 

 acted as judge of the roses, carnations, 

 and design work. In plants the display 

 was not as large as was hoped for but 

 the quality of the exhibits made up the 

 deficiency in number. Three beautiful 

 displays of orchids were much admired. 

 In the fruit and honey section the display 

 was large and the demonstrations and 

 lectures given in connection therewith 

 were most interesting and instructive. 

 The show was well attended by out-of- 

 town visitors.
