CHICAGO. 



The most .successful iniio\ation in i-oii 

 ncction with l.ast Aveek "s llower sliow 

 was keeping it o|ien Sunday at a le 

 liuced admission, for Snnd.ay aftcinoon 

 broke the \\t'ek"s lei-md Idi' attendance. 

 Sunday e\enin;; the ciowd was lari^e ••iiid 

 \Miuld doubtless ha\e iieeil much greater 

 had till' wi'.athci- been less iiiclenient. so 

 that it may be taken foi- yi-anted that 

 all future shows in < iiiiayu will jire.ach' 

 "a sermon in flowers.'' ,\ ^ikkI attend- 

 ance on Siind.'iy \\as just what wa.s need- 

 ed to ievi\e the spirits of the tired 

 niaiiaycnieiit. for. ^n.-il as was the artis- 

 tic achiexement. it is the dismal f.act tluit 

 last yeai''s linancial success was not le- 

 Jioated. i;\('ry d:iy thi' ;;ate receijits fell

 until S;itiiril:iy. when a did ilii/./.|(> cut a

The Carnations. 



The showing nl' cirnations was some- 

 thing I'eniiirkable in \ie\v of the lateness 

 of the crojis this fall. (Quality never 

 was better, and the tlowers Lasted widl. 

 'i'he principal exhibitors were I'nehlmann 



P.ros. (ii., and they not only showed more 

 \arieties, lint wmi more premiums than 

 any otlii-r exhibitor. Still it was dis- 

 tinctly a red letter event for the Chicago 

 ( '.•irii;it inn Co. Not only was Aristocrat 

 the center of interest, but they succeed- 

 ed in capturing lifteen lirst jiremiuins. 

 They had four grand \arieties in Aris- 

 tocrat, White Perfect ion, No. 49, red, 

 .iiid l\'ose-|iink Kiichantiess. Sol Carland 

 came to the t'roiit with a couple of win- 

 ners. 



S. S. Skiihdsky, riiiladeljihia, staged a 

 fine \ase of Ii. Schroeter's U'dse-jiiiik J'lii- 

 ( hantress wliiidi, next to Aristocrat, at- 

 tracted more jitfeiition than .any other 

 \ariety in the show.

 keiitias, not tor coiiipef it ion. 



The Sidflidge collection of' nrcliids w;is 

 represented for a day by a group whicdi 

 was probably the most \aliiable ever 

 slinwii at a liic.-il exhibitinii. .\ large 



number of varieties were represented, all 

 s|ilendid i)laiits in line tlower, and for 

 the time the group was allowed to re- 

 main away from Lincoln jiark it was the 

 most attractive feature of the show.
