Prize Winning Beauties 



Mr. George Burton won the Lord & Burnham Cup at the National 

 Rose Show in Washington last week. This cup was offered for fifty- 

 American Beauties. There was no competition, Mr. Burton being the 

 only grower who could exhibit fifty fancy blooms. Mr. Burton having 

 won this cup two years ago from a number of competitors, now holds 

 the trophy. We handle all Mr. Burton's flowers.

Robert Kift, Herbert G. TuU, of Henry 

 A. Dreer; G. C. Watson and David Rust. 

 Together they aecided the above points 

 ana made financial arrangements. 



Tuesday evening the Florists' Club 

 entertained the visitors at a banquet 

 given in the foyer of Horticultural hall. 

 Sixty guests assembled. Among the 



visitors, besides the executive committee 

 before mentioned, were J. C. Vaughan, 

 of Chicago; E. V. Hallock, Queens, N. 

 Y.; Peter Crowe, Utica, N. Y.; Thos. 

 Johnson, Providence, R. I.; G. X. 

 Amrhyn, New Haven, Conn. ; Felix 

 Mense, Glen Cove, N. Y. ; E. J. Haus- 

 wirth, Chicago; Harry C. Sim, Riverton, 



N. J.; Col. Castle and J. L. Congdon, 

 Boston, and Edward A. Flood, Atco, N. 

 J. Samuel S. Pennock presided, and 

 Robert Craig acted as toastmaster. 

 Speeches were made by W. J. Stewart, 

 John Westcott, J. C. Vaughan, P. J. 

 Hauswirth, W. F. Kasting, E. V. Hallock 

 and Robert Kift, and songs were sung 

 by P. J. Lynch, J. F. Hogan and A. L. 

 Campbell. The evening was thoroughly 

 enjoyed. Mr. Kift, who spoke for the 

 horticultural press, made the point that 

 while the other speakers were telling of 

 the benefits various societies gave their 

 members at their conventions, the press 

 had a weekly convention, which was far 

 more beneficial and far reaching in ita 

 effects. 



Rose Show Gleaxiiogs. 



Philadelphia captured fifteen prizes at 

 Washington last week, including the 

 Lord & Burnham and Michell cups. 



The victory of George Burton, who 

 won the Lord & Burnham cup for the 

 second time, was notable in that Mr. 

 Burton was able to bring fifty fancy 

 blooms at a time of such scarcity. 



Edward Towill's success in winning 

 the Michell cup was a popular victory. 

 It took fifty fancy Richmonds to do it. 



It was stated that Wm. Kleinheinz 

 was in an automobile accident while see- 

 ing the city. Fortunately, nothing more 

 serious than an hour's detention resulted. 

 Mr. Kleinheinz and his friends were 

 then borne back to their hotel by a red 

 devil. 



Among the Philadelphians at the show 

 were David Anderson, George Burton, 

 G. E. Campbell, A. B. Cartledge, D. T. 

 Connor, Robert Craig, W. P. Craig, J.
