RICHMOND, IND. 



That the E. G. Hill Co. is well pleased 

 with the results obtained at the various 

 chrysanthemum exhibitions through the 

 country goes without saying. It is one 

 thing to win a few prizes and it is quite 

 another thing to get the cream of the 

 premiums. Those who saw their prize 

 winners at the Chicago, Philadelphia, 

 Kansas City and Indianapolis shows 

 need not wonder how it all came about. 

 But chrysanthemums are at present a 

 thing of the past here, though a few 

 late varieties are still holding up their 

 heads in fine shape and may last until 

 Christmas. 



Kichmond rose, as seen here, and tor 

 that matter, elsewhere, is fulfilling every 

 claim made for this most meritorious 

 red rose. It is a winner from the 

 standpoints of both retailer and grower. 

 The ideal, however, has by no means 

 been reached by the Eichmond. There 

 are others on the way, John Lemon, 

 named after Mr. Hill's favorite grand- 

 son, a magnificent specimen of a red 

 rose, surpassing in beauty, form of 

 bloom, foliage and stem anything thav 

 ever "came out of a seed pod." Great 

 hopes are centered upon this rose, al- 

 though it will require another season to 

 test thoroughly its commercial value. 

 The consensus of opinion is that John 

 Lemon is to make its mark. 



Joseph Hill, of which two benches 

 are planted, has every appearance of 

 being a splendid commercial variety. 

 Its color is certainly attractive, resemb- 

 ling somewhat the Sunrise, though u 

 larger bud and a finer stem. Another 

 point, much in its favor, is its produc- 

 tiveness. It has been in crop all season, 

 with every promise of continuance 

 through the winter. 



In carnations, there are two fine reds, 

 several whites, a few pinks and some 

 crimsons, one or two plants of each, all 

 promising. Those to be selected for fu- 

 ture distribution must come up to every 

 requirement, else ' ' the light of day shall 

 never dawn upon them." 



Mr. Hill has had enough experience 

 with seedlings and has perhaps discard- 

 ed more "promising" things than all 

 the seedlings put out within the last two 

 or three years combined. In his own 

 words: "It must be an all-around TVin- 

 ner before it leaves this place." 



The usual quantities of geraniums, 

 fuchsias, heliotropes and bedding stock 

 of all kinds have been planted in antic- 

 ipation of a heavy demand. 



Chrysanthemums will be grown in 

 larger quantities than heretofore, the 

 demand for young plants for early 

 spring delivery warranting the increase. 

 Mme. Touset, the early Chadwick, and 

 Jeanne Nonin, the largest late white, 

 judging by the orders already booked, 

 will certainly be much in evidence a 

 year hence in various parts of the coun- 

 try. ^•
