HOUSTON. TEX. 



One of the chief events of carnival 

 week was the annual flower show for 

 the Faith Home Association. J. D. 

 Pruessner, of Galveston, was judge. The 

 principal prize winners on chrysanthe- 

 «ium cut blooms were J. W. Vestal & 



A Little Over 5,000 Yards of Laurel Wreathing. 



(The E. F. Winterson Co. Supplied Tvs^o- Wagon Loads, 10,000 yards, for the Chicago Show.) 



Son, Little Eock, Ark. Charles Ehler 

 and F. J. Saur were the largest local 

 premium winners. Wm. Kutschbach had 

 a fine display of bush plants out for 

 competition. 



COLUMBUS. 



The annual chrysanthemum show of 

 the Columbus Florists ' Club was held 

 November 13, afternoon and evening, in 

 the club's new rooms in the Brent build- 

 ing. It looked early in the season as if 

 the date set would be a little late, but as 

 all mums here are unusually late this 

 year, it turned out that we could not 

 have selected a time that would have 

 found our growers in better form. As 

 the occasion was our house warming in 

 the new quarters, the committee in charge 

 of the evening's entertainment had pro- 

 vided a musical program. The exhibits 

 of chrysanthemums were of a high order, 

 and interest was manifested by the large 

 attendance of members and their friends. 



In the class for exhibition blooms, the 

 Fifth Avenue Floral Co. was first with 

 Timothy Eaton, W. H. Chadwick, Golden 

 Wedding and Yellow Eaton; E. Metz- 

 meier, with Alice Byron, Golden Chad- 

 wick and W. H. Chadwick, was second, 

 and John H. Williams, with Major Bon- 

 naffon, Modesto and Philadelphia, took 

 third. The above awards were for six 

 blooms. 



In the class for three exhibition blooms, 

 C. P. Torrey was first, with May Sed- 

 don, Souv. de Montbrun and Merza. The 

 Fifth Avenue Floral Co. was second with 

 Timothy Eaton, W. H. Chadwick and 

 Yellow Eaton. For six commercial 

 blooms, cut from three plants, John H. 

 Williams took first with all Major Bon- 

 naffons; E. Metzmeier second with 

 Golden Chadwick and W. H. Chadwick; 

 and third was won by the Fifth Avenue 

 Floral Co., with W. H. Chadwick. For 

 two commercial blooms cut from one 

 plant, the Franklin Park Floral Co. was 

 first with two blooms of W. H. Chad- 

 wick, The second prize in this class went 

 to the Fifth Avenue Floral Co., for the 

 same variety. For nine commercial 

 blooms cut from three plants, E, Metz- 

 meier was first with Golden Chadwick 

 and W, H, Chadwick, John H. Williams 

 with all Major Bonnaffons was second. 

 The last regular class was for three com- 

 mercial blooms cut from one plant. Again 

 W. H, Chadwick took first, this time for 

 Sherman Stephens; and the second was 



to the Fifth Avenue Floral Co,, for the 

 same variety. 



The special features of the show that 

 brought out the keenest competition were 

 the prizes offered by Graff Bros, and M. 

 B. Faxon. Graff Bros, ' prize was for the 

 best twelve blooms, to be judged by the 

 conMjiercial scale. The interest of the 

 evening centered in this award, which 

 the committee finally made to the Frank- 

 lin Park Floral Co,, for an assorted dozen 

 of Golden Chadwick and W, H. Chadwick. 

 The M. B. Faxon prize was for the best 

 five commercial blooms, and was won by 

 the Fifth Avenue Floral Co,, with W. H. 

 Chadwick, The Livingston Seed Co, 

 staged a fine collection, including blooms 

 of Dr, Enguehard, Golden Wedding, Lord 

 Hopetoun, Major Bonnaffon, Alice Byron, 

 Merza, Golden Chadwick, W, H, Chad- 

 Avick, the Eatons and many others. C. 

 A, Eoth and Sherman Stephens also en- 

 tered fine collections of cut blooms. As 

 these last three exhibits were entered for 

 exhibition only, the committee awarded 

 Messrs. Livingston, Eoth and Stephens 

 each honorable mention. The committee 

 on awards was M, B, Faxon, Samuel 

 Graff and T, A. Sexton. Zero. 



LAUREL WREATHING. 



» 



One of the earliest benefits resulting 

 from the Chicago flower show has been 

 the stimulation of the demand for laurel 

 wreathing. Laurel was little known in 

 the middle west until its usefulness was 

 demonstrated by the excellent decoration 

 for the Chicago flower show, where 

 15,000 yards were used. The decorators 

 were Charles A, Samuelson and W. J. 

 Smyth, and now laurel is in demand for 

 all sorts of large jobs. 



For the Chicago show 10,000 yards of 

 the wreathing were supplied by the E. F. 

 Winterson Co, The accompanying illus- 

 tration gives some idea of the bulk of 

 this great quantity of wreathing. The 

 two-horse wagon shown carried only 

 about one-half of the 10,000 yards the 

 Winterson Company supplied. 



I FEEL lost without your paper, as it 

 has saved me many times its cost, — 

 Charles F. Eohr, Naperville, 111, 



Two EivERS, Wis, — Louis Hartung 

 says his recent loss by fire was $3,000. 

 The buildings were insured, but the loss 

 on stock was total. He will rebuild at 

 once.
