rived in first class shape. When you 

 consider the distance they traveled, it 

 well proves their good staying qualities. 

 He staged Winsor, White Lawson, Varie- 

 gated Lawson, and Eed Lawson, all 

 finely finished blooms. 



The W. C. Hill Floral Co., Streator, 

 lU., sent a vase of the shell pink sport 

 of Lawson. It has a very pleasing color 

 and looks to be a good one. One of the 

 remarkable features of the show was 

 that Lawson was shown in five different 

 colors, all of them appearing to be good 

 commercial sorts. 



The H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, 

 JMd., sent some fine blooms, among them 

 being My Maryland and a pink seed- 

 ling, Mabelle. A few blooms of a seed- 

 ling on the order of Prosperity, but 

 darker in color, was quite a novelty. 



Geo. Bayer, Toledo, sent a vase of 

 very well grown Lawson, also one of 

 Enchantress. 



Honaker, Lexington, Ky., staged En- 

 chantress in fine form. 



The E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind., 

 made a very fine exhibit, staging among 

 other varieties, Lawson and Enchantress 

 in great shape. 



The Miami Tloral Co., Dayton, O., 

 had Enchantress and Prosperity in very 

 good shape. 



John Hartje, Indianapolis, showed a 

 vase of Candace which made a very good 

 impression. 



Heller Bros., New Castle, Ind., stageu 

 a fine vase of Lawson for exhibition 

 only. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. sent their 

 new rose. Miss Kate Moulton. 



Of our home growers, Wm. Murphy, 

 George & Allan, Thos. Windram, Frank 

 Snyder and Frank Huntsman staged 

 some very finely grown blooms. Geo. 

 Murphy showed some very good pan- 

 sies. 



Last, but by far not least, was the 

 exhibition of our own Dick Witterstaet- 

 ter. It is suflScient to say that the 

 blooms he staged were fully up to his 

 standard. Among the many new sorts 

 none was more admired than Afterglow. 

 It was surely in fine form. 



The judges were Henry Schwarz, C. E. 

 Critchell and D. Sunderbruch. The 

 awards were made as follows. Best vase 

 iitty blooms white, H. Weber & Sons 



Co. first, E. Witterstaetter second, E. G. 

 Hill Co. third. 



Light pink, E. G. Hill Co. first, E. 

 Witterstaetter second, Honaker third. 



Dark pink, E. Witterstaetter first, 

 Frank Snyder second, Thos. Windram 

 third. 



Eed, E. Witterstaetter first, Wm. Mur- 

 phy second, F. E, Pierson third. 



Variegated, H. Weber & Sons Co. first, 

 F. E. Pierson second. 



Best vase twenty-five seedlings, E. 

 Witterstaetter first, F. E. Pierson sec- 

 ond. 



Best 100 blooms, not less than six com- 

 mercial varieties, E. G. Hill Co. first. 



Best general display went to E. Wit- 

 terstaetter. 



The S. A. F. silver medal went to E. 

 Witterstaetter for Afterglow. The 

 bronze medal went to the Minneapolis 

 Floral Co. for Miss Kate Moulton, sub- 

 ject to the approval of the national 

 society. 



W. E. Hall, of Clyde, O., sent a vase 

 of his seedling carnation named E. G. 

 GUlett. It was entered for our society's 

 certificate but lacked two points of ob- 

 taining same. It shows all of the marks 

 of a first class commercial variety, but it 

 has a brick red color and, the judges 

 thinking the darker shade of red to be 

 the best, it lost heavily on that point. 

 It was exhibited at our fall show, when 

 it scored eighty-six points agdinst eighty- 

 three at the present time. 



The H. Weber & Sons Co. entered 

 their seedling Mabelle for a certificate. 

 It scored eighty-two points. 



In response to invitations sent out 

 by our society, there were a large num- 

 ber of visitors in the city. At 6 p. m. 

 they gathered at our clubrooms and then 

 in a body adjourned to the Burnet house, 

 where a banquet was in waiting. Covers 

 were laid for sixty-seven persons and 

 a jollier gathering it would be hard to 

 imagine. Wm. Murphy, the president 

 of our society, acted as toastmaster and 

 during the course of the evening many 

 of those present were given an opportu- 

 nity of speaking on a variety of sub- 

 jects. 



At 9:30 a meeting of the society was 

 called to order. J. W. Weber, of Oak- 

 land, Md., and Eay Murpuy were pro- 

 posed for membership. The rules being 

 suspended, they were unanimously elect- 



ed. " E. G. Gillett spoke of the flower 

 shows which will be held in September,, 

 during the Fall Festival, stating that 

 at least $1,000 would be offered to be 

 competed for. The Fall Festival Asso- 

 ciation wishes the florists to co-operate 

 in making up a schedule which will pro- 

 duce the best showing at that time of 

 year. 



Among the visitors present were John 

 Larsen, Wm. Hack, Henry [pieman. Ho-

 Hartje, Sidney Smith, Fred Hukriede,

The Market. 



Business was poorer last week than it 

 has been for some time. Large quanti- 

 ties of carnations are being sent in and 

 this, in addition to the department store 

 sales, has forced the price of this popu- 

 lar flower down. Eoses do not seem to 

 be overplentiful and are still sell- 

 ing for good prices, the best grade 

 bringing $1.50 per dozen. Violets are 

 sold at all kinds 01 prices, some being 

 offered as low as 15 cents a bunch. Bulb- 

 ous stock is in good demand, with plenty 

 coming in. 



Various Notes. 



What will be, when completed, proba- 

 bly one of the most up-to-date and finely 

 appointed retail stores in this city, will
