ticultural Society had a meeting at the 

 Auditorium Annex Tuesday evening and 

 had several retailers in for supper. The 

 pledges of support were reassuring. 

 James Burdett, press agent, thinks 

 everything especially favorable for a big 

 show and a large attendance this year. 



The orchids at Lincoln park are in 

 fine flower and attract much attention. 



F. W. Timme and fanuly have returned 

 from their ten weeks' trip to Europe. 

 Mr. Timme reports a most enjoyable 

 vacation and looks the picture of good 

 health. 



John Van Bochove and Gerry Van 

 Bochove, of Kalamazoo, Mich., were vis- 

 itors this week. They report excellent 

 prospects for a big season in their terri- 

 tory. 



ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. 



At the Illinois State Fair at Spring- 

 field, October 1 to 3, considerable effort 

 was made to enlarge the professional 

 flower show feature. The display of 

 plants was very good and in nearly all 

 cases well worthy of the prizes, espe- 

 cially so in nephrolepis ferns, but the 

 display of cut roses and carnations in 

 the professional classes was, with a few 

 exceptions, very poor. H. W. Buckbee, 

 of Bockford, came in with a fine lot of 

 roses and carnations, most of which 

 came too late to be judged. In roses, 

 especially, he would have swept the 

 board. The few of his exhibits that 

 were up in time all took first prize. The 

 Thompson Carnation Co. and Chicago 

 Carnation Co. showed some fine stock in 

 carnations. In miscellaneous cut flowers 

 competition was more keen, but mostly 



confined to local growers. In artistic 

 designs the displays were very good, 

 with a few exceptions. 



It is to be regretted that some grow- 

 ers and retailers that stand among the 

 leaders in our profession will exhibit 

 stock and design work that is wholly un- 

 worthy of any premium at all. This 

 was done at this show in a good many 

 instances. Another thing that is much 

 to be regretted is that the leading cut 

 fiower growers of our state, especially in 

 and about Chicago, do not avail them- 

 selves of the premiums offered at this 

 show. Their attention was called to 

 this opportunity just previous to the 

 fair, and they failed utterly to respond. 

 Hence the work done by members of the 

 State Florists' Association, with the as- 

 sistance of Hon. Bobt. O'Dwyer, to get 

 the increased appropriation from the 

 board of agriculture for premiums in this 

 department, has to a great extent gone 

 amiss, and most of the time put in by 

 these men has been a sacrifice. Therefore 

 there is not much encouragement to 

 keep it up. J. F. A.
