Mention The Review when you write. 



cial secretary, reported receipts of the 

 evening $130. 



The exhibits from out of town were 

 cs follows: 



Winsor, from F. K. Pierson Co., 

 staged Dy Jensen & Dekema, attracted 

 the favorable comment of everyone. 

 The flowers were shipped from Scar- 

 boro, N. Y., Monday and were in per- 

 fect condition Thursday night, more 

 than three days later and nearly a thou- 

 sand miles from home. The color tills 

 a gap and is fine under artificial light. 

 Several growers who had visited the 

 Pierson place spoke highly of the habit 

 of growth. It will be planted largely 

 in the vicinity of Chicago next season. 



H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, Md., 

 sent Toreador, on the Prosperity order, 

 and Mabelle, pink. Toreador is to be 

 sent out next year and will be tried by 

 most of the growers, for its color is 

 needed. Both sorts traveled well. 



J. E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., sent 

 Imperial and Pink Imperial. There 

 would be no steady sale for the former 

 in this market, because of its peculiar 

 variegation, but Pink Imperial pleases. 

 Both sorts have magnificent stems. 



B. Witterstaetter, Cincinnati, sent a 

 good white, called Snowdrift, a large, 

 round, full flower. 



Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, sent 

 May, flesh pink. It is too small. 



The largest local exhibit was that of 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. It included En- 

 chantress, Bed Lawson, Lawson, Gov. 

 Wolcott, Lieut. Peary, Craig, Variegat- 

 ed Iiawson and White Lawson. The 

 White Lawson and Bed Lawson were 

 especially good. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. staged a 



splendid vase of Aristocrat, much bet- 

 ter than was shown at Toronto; also 100 

 magnificent blooms of White Perfection 

 and 100 good Bed Biding Hood. This 

 is not an exhibition sort but Mr. Pyfer 

 says is a free bloomer. Their fine En- 

 chantress were weak in stem, as in 

 many other exhibits. Daybreak Lawson 

 and Variegated Lawson completed their 

 table. 



J. A. Budlong had a table of up-to- 

 date commercial varieties, including Car- 

 dinal, Lady Bountiful, Nelson Fisher, 

 Enchantress, Lawson and White Law- 

 son. 



Jensen & Dekema had some good 

 blooms of Boston Market, Victory, Mrs. 

 Patten, Enchantress and Lady Bounti- 

 ful. 



Anton Then staged his variegated 

 seedling, Winnemac; also Harlowarden, 

 Enchantress, Mrs. E. A. Nelson, Law- 

 son, White Lawson and Lady Bounti- 

 ful. John Then is a chip off the old 

 block. 



Peter Beinberg had Enchantress, 

 Lawson, Lady Bountiful and Bobert 

 Craig, all good commercial stock. 



W. N. Budd brought his red, No. 

 16802a, which has size, lorm and espe- 

 cially good color. 



Bassett & Washburn set up a splen- 

 did vase of their red, No. 20. It is 

 better than when shown at Toronto, 

 where it won the large medal, and at- 

 tracted as much comment as anything 

 in the hall. 



John Beardon brought red sport of 

 Lawson which originated with him and 

 which it has pleased his employer, M. 

 A. Byerson, to name for himself. 



H. N. Bruns brought a bunch of fine 

 valley. 



E. F. Winterson is entitled to special 

 mention for the work he did in provid- 

 ing vases, tables, etc., for so much stock. 



Easter plants, with an address by J. 

 S. Wilson, will be the feature of the 

 March meeting. 



The Winandy Sale. 



Thursday, February 14, the referee in 

 bankruptcy confirmed the sale of the 

 Winandy equities and personal property 

 to Arthur B. Dietsch on his bid of 

 $4,500. Mr. Dietsch states that he will 

 conduct the establishment until ho can 

 find a purchaser at a satisfactory price. 

 The houses are now planted to lettuce 

 and carnations and good crops are said 

 to be in sight for spring. 



One of the trustees states that the 

 purchase price will not cover the costs 

 which have accrued since the petition 

 in bankruptcy was filed. He states that 

 outstanding accounts of the trustees 

 must be scaled ten to fifteen per cent 

 and possibly more. 



The Harttborne Fund. 



At the club meeting last week P. J. 

 Hauswirth reported that the Hartshorne 

 benefit fund now amounts to $1,250 or 

 $1,300. Of this $325 was subscribed 

 at the time of the S. A. F. convention; 

 $500 was realized from the flower booth 

 at the last Chicago show. At Toronto 

 J. A. Valentine brought up the subject 

 and C. W. Ward gave his check for 

 $100. W. S. Kasting took the matter 

 up then and there and secured $275. 



While this is quite a sum, Mrs. Harts- 

 horne is left with five children, the
