The Rose Show. 



The annual rose show of the Florists' 

 Society took place last Saturday. The 

 exhibition this year, while not large, 

 was very good as to quality and was well 

 worth seeing. The majority of the stock 

 shown came from out of town and was 

 a credit to the growers. 



Peter Keinberg, Chicago, made a very 

 nice exhibit, staging Beauty, Bride, 

 Maid, Ivory, Meteor, Uncle John and 

 Chatenay. The vase of Uncle John de- 

 served special mention. 



Weiland & dinger staged Beauty, 

 Maid, Bride, Uncle John and Chatenay. 



Sunderbruch & Meier staged Bride and 

 Bridesmaid which were a great credit to 

 that firm. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co., Minne- 

 apolis, sent a vase of their new rose, 

 Miss Kate Moulton, which certainly made 

 a fine showing. It showed fine shipping 

 and staying qualities. It is a beautiful 

 medium shade of pink, very long stem, 

 a very large flower which opens in a very 

 pleasing manner. It is a little single, 

 but it is such a beautiful thing that 

 the general opinion was that there is 

 a place for it. 



One of the chief attractions of the 

 show was a vase of Carnation Aristocrat. 

 It was in fine form and made a great 

 showing. 



The prizes were awarded as follows: 

 Peter Keinberg received first on Beauty, 

 Ivory, Meteor and Uncle John; third 

 on Bridesmaid and Bride. Weiland & 

 dinger received second on Beauty, Maid, 

 Bride and Chatenay ; third on Uncle John 

 and first on best general display. Sun- 

 derbruch & Meier received first on Bride 

 and Bridesmaid. 



For the S. A. F. medals the Miss Kate I 



Moulton received ninety points. These 

 medals are not awarded till after our 

 March meeting. 



A meeting of the society was held in 

 the evening. Two new members were 

 •voted in, J. P. dinger and Wm. H. Gar- 

 dener. It was decided to send out invi- 

 tations to all florists who possibly can 

 do so to come to our carnation show, 

 March 10. Not only will the show be 

 well worth seeing, but the Cincinnati 

 boys will spread a banquet for the visi- 

 tors. All growers of seedling carnations 

 are requested to make note of this date. 



Various Notes. 



Miss White, of Lexington, Ky., left 

 last week on a trip through California, 

 to be gone a month or more. 



Visitors were Wm. Heinl, of Jackson- 

 ville, 111., and Martin Beukauf, of Bay- 



ersdorf & Co.

The Market 



The business for the past week has 

 been only fair, very poor some days and 

 good the others. First-class roses have 

 been scarce, especially fancy grades in 

 Bride and Maid and Eichmond. In first 

 and second grades the commission men 

 have a fair supply, which, of course, sell 

 well at good prices. Of Beauties there 

 are enough for the demand. 



Carnations are very plentiful in all 

 grades and varieties, top price being $5 

 for extra fancy Enchantress, Lawson and 

 Lady Bountiful. Some extra fine Nelson 

 Fisher were seen the past week. The 

 best red in the market is Cardinal, but it 

 is not very plentiful. Violets continue 

 to arrive in large quantities. For the 

 best Californias 40 cents is asked, and 



60 cents for doubles. Bulbous stock of 

 all kinds is very plentiful, especially 

 Koman hyacinths and Paper Whites. 

 Von Sions are just coming in and sell 

 well. Tulips are somewhat scarce. CaUas 

 are easy, but Harrisii have a good call. 

 Lily of the valley is in demand and not 

 overplentiful. 



Smilax'is plentiful, the demand being 

 rather slow the past week. Other greens 

 are equal to all demands. 



Club Meeting. 



The carnation meeting held February 

 8 drew the largest attendance the club 

 has had this year, the number being 

 forty-eight. The exhibition was very 

 large and the stock of fine quality.

 u, M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind., who

 land, Md., showed My Maryland and Jes- 

 sica. D. C. Noble, of Columbia City, 

 Ind., showed a fine vase of light pink 

 sport of Lawson. John Hartje, Indian- 

 apolis, sent that fine pink, Candace. The 

 Minneapolis Floral Co., of Minneapolis, 

 Minn., staged a fine vase of the new 

 rose. Miss Kate Moulton. Among the 

 local growers Wm. Winter, Kirkwood, 

 had Enchantress, Patten, Lawson and 

 Bountiful; J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 

 Enchantress, Patten, Lawson and Lady 

 Bountiful; Henry Braun, foreman for
