The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. 



I 



35 Randolph Street, CHICAGO 



vase of Aristocrat and vase of KeU Bid- 

 ing Hood carnations, arrived in fine con- 

 dition. 



E. (J. Hill Co., Kichmond, Ind., a 

 shipment of mums which arrived the 

 morning after the exhibition. It includ- 

 ed Golden Dome, John Macrae's sport 

 from Yellow Eaton. 



J. M. Dickson, of Northville, Mich., 

 showed a fine vase of Bonnaffon and 

 Chadwick. 



A. J. Stahelin, of (jreenfield, Mich., 

 showed a fine vase of Arline; Dr. Engue- 

 hard, exceptionally fine ; Weeks and other 

 mums. 



A. B. Lewis, of Pontiac, Mich., who is 

 one of the regulars now, was on hand 

 ^yith a fine assortment of fifteen varie- 

 ties. White Bonnaffon is his favorite. 

 Mr. Lewis has a white sport of Maud 

 Dean which made quite a hit. 



Mr. De Carteret, of Grosse Pointe, 

 ^lich., showed some well grown mums. 



H. Smith, of Grosse Pointe, had twelve 

 varieties of mums, all fine blooms, includ- 

 ing a grand yellow variety, Gold Mine. 



J. E. Smith, of Wyandotte, Mich., at- 

 tracted an unusual amount of attention 



with some beautiful large white chrysan- 

 themum blooms, of a fine incurved shape 

 and elegant stem. They are seedlings of 

 Mr. Smith 's from an old variety known 

 as IMoonlight. Some good pink and 

 white sweet peas were also brought from 

 Wyandotte. 



Fred Pantke, of Grosse Pointe, staged 

 a most creditable vase of fifteen varie- 

 ties of mums. 



A. N. Von Boeselager, of Mount Clem- 

 ens, elicited favorable comment with 

 three vases of carnations. A pink sport 

 of Lawson, about the shade of .Toost, 

 originated by Mr. Von Boeselager, looks 

 as though it may have a bright future. 

 His fine red seedling from a cross be- 

 tween Harlowarden and ^enchantress, and 

 a vase of white known as Moonlight, 

 were good. 



J. Breitmeyer's Sons had by far the 

 largest exhibit. In chrysanthemums they 

 had about fifteen vases of different varie- 

 ties, the most noticeable being Mrs. 

 Winkley Smith, a beautiful yellow- 

 bronze. They also had a fine lot of roses 

 grown under Fred Breitmeyer's super- 

 vision. A vase of Kiliarney with mi- 



lisuiilly long stems would have made any 

 Irishman ])roud. 



Robert Klaggo, of Mount Clcinons, re- 

 sorted to roses for his display. His 

 Maids and Richmonds were fine, but a 

 vase of about twenty-iive La Detroit, 

 with stems and tlowers the size of a 

 good American Beauty looinod above 

 every other rose in the room. 



Beard Bros, showed sonic nicely grown 

 mums, also some fine Jcnisnloni cherry 

 plants. 



J. F. Sullivan, tiiough Tint the largest 

 exhibitor, did much credit to the space 

 occupied Avith a number of va.ses of 

 nmms. 



B. Schroeter was on hand with a fine 

 vase of his Rose-pink Enchantress, which 

 received much favorable comment. 



The Park and Boulevard Commission 

 did itself proud with a fine exhibit of 

 some standard mums and a large collec- 

 tion of new and rare plants.
