 Uu of Chrysanthemums, consisting of the following exhibition varieties: Merza, W. R.

 respond with intending exhibitors^, or retailers planning a store exhibition, with the view of 

 disposing of these blooms. ^^g. ^^_ SCOTT CO., CORFU. N. Y.

VALUE OF TRADE SHOWS. 



The first "advertising show" ever 

 held, at Chicago, October 11 to 18, 

 was an unqualified success, especially 

 in point of attendance.' In reviewing 

 the affair Charles H. Jones, president 

 t)£AtIte National Federation of Adver- 

 tising "Clubs, said: ' 



But the show accomplished much more than 

 bringing the crowds to see the exhibits. Above 

 «U, It accomplished this: It advertised adver- 

 tlaing with unprecedented force. It did much 

 for tlie advertising profession. At the same 

 ^tUae It popularized and elevated advertising. 

 .It showed what advertising really was doing 

 «nd what it was accomplishing in the business 

 World. 



Just that does every successful 

 flower show do for the florists in the 

 community in which it is held. 



THE ST. LOUIS SHOW. 



Profiting by the experience and the 

 prestige of the World's Fair flower show, 

 the St. Louis Florists' Club has shuf- 

 fled the cards to deal out the biggest 

 local exhibition the town has ever had. 

 The committee has been at work for 

 months and every detail has been at- 

 tended to in good season. The program 

 was out last week and in sending a copy 

 to a friend Manager Otto G. Koenig 

 wrote: "The hall, with its accessories, 

 will be a thing of beauty, and I know 

 will be long remembered by all who will 

 come and visit us. Our visitors will be 

 courteously received, the exhibitors will 

 get full justice and the winners cash for 

 every premium they take. ' ' Indeed, a 

 elance at the program would lead to the 

 belief that the boys have "rustled up" 

 enough advertising to insure the- dis- 

 icharge of all liabilities, without recourse 

 to the pleasant published list of guaran- 

 tors and donors of premiums. As with 

 »o many other shows, the St. Louis man- 

 agers are this year offering more liberal 

 premiums than ever before. Best 100 

 mums get $100, $75 and $50; fifty Beau- 

 ties, $50 and $35; 100 Beauties, $100, 

 $75, $50; table decoration, $75, $50, 

 ♦35; group of palms, $75, $50, $25, and 

 many others equally liberal. Besides, 

 there are Shaw and S. A. F. medals for 

 new plants. St. Louis certainly ought 

 to do well this year.
