The roses were staged on Wednesday 

 and brought out about the keenest com- 

 petition ever seen at a western exhibit, 

 and Chicago shows are noted for the 

 splendid displays of roses. There were 

 not so many entries as usual, but qual- 

 ity was better than ever, and it was 

 nip and tuck in most of the classes. It 

 took the judges most of the afternoon 

 to get through their task.

Cuttings. 



The program for the rest of the week 

 is as follows: Thursday, carnations, vio- 

 lets, valley, bouquets; Friday, miscel- 

 laneous plants, private gardeners ' classes, 

 seedling mums and seedling carnations, 

 second display of American Beauty roses ; 

 aaturday, floral arrangements in baskets; 

 Surday, closing day. 



The lectures on gardening are handi- 

 capped by the fact that there is no place 

 to hold them except in the hall in the 

 second story of the annex — not easy to 

 find, even when one is looking for it, and 

 possessed of unusually poor acoustics. 

 But the lectures are a popular feature. 

 The speakers are C. B. Whitnall, E. G. 

 Routzahn, J. C; Blair, Frederic Crane- 

 fiehl, a National Cash Register man, and 

 Miss Sipe, the latter announced to talk 

 to school teachers and pupils on Satur- 

 day. The subjects concern amateur gar- 

 dening. 



The Illinois State Florists' Associa- 

 tion holds a meeting today. So does the 

 S. A. F. executive board and the Na- 

 tional Council of Horticulture. The Flo- 

 rists' Club meets tonight before the ban- 

 quet.
