them. It certainly is an evidence of 



skillful culture and arrived in perfect 



condition after its 1,000-mile journeyr* 



' ,, from Madison, N. J. The packing of it- 



• 'self was an example of thoroughness. It 



. was crated so that no flower would have 



, . ' been bruised had the plant been tipped 



upside down. 



The dooryard scene by Vaughan's 



Seed Store is one of the best things in 



•, the show. J. S. Wilson and Carl Cropp 



v;>5! r^ were the creators. The lawn is bordered 



' /il with shrubbery and cut by flower beds 



• containing tender stock of many kinds 

 in full flower, grown especially for the 



- .. • purpose. It is one of the finest educa- 

 ' tional features of the exhibition. 



J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, besides his 

 usual entries, has Begonia Agatha, pink, 

 a cross between Moonlight and Socotrana. 

 It was given a place by the fountain and 

 lost its beauty by reason of the steady 

 fall of spray, but it appeared a fine 

 thing. 



Edward Amerpohl, of Janesville, "Wis., 



• ^ duplicates his convention exhibit of Ne- 



phrolepis Amerpohli; one large plant and 

 a number in 3-inch pots which show the 



■ full character. It is not a large table 



■ but it catches the eye. 



Nephrolepis Whitmani, from H. H. 

 Barrows, Whitman, Mass., makes a fine 

 group, attracting much attention. 



The John C. Moninger Co. exhibits a 

 model greenhouse with an attractive set- 

 ting, and the Foley Mfg. Co. has its sign 

 on the greenhouse which is part of A. I. 

 Simmons' display. 



• V A fine group of cyclamen was staged 



by E. Oeschslin, of the Garfield Park 



• Floral Co., Chicago. 



J. N. May, Summit, N. J., brought a 

 table of hardy mums, not for competi- 

 tion. 



August Jurgens has a beautiful round 

 table of begonias edged with English 



ivy- 



C. W. McKellar staged some splenuid 

 ii_„ — orchids grown by George Field, Wash- 

 ington, D. C. The varieties were Vanda 

 csprulea and Uendrobium formosum. 



Peter Reinberg's vase of Mrs. Mar- 

 shall Field rose attracts even more at- 

 tention than last year, when it was first 

 , shown, and the quality is better. 



The show will continue open until 11 

 p. m. Sunday. *
