Among the new carnations the B. K. 

 & B. Floral Co., Richmond, Ind., staged 

 a fine vase of its new white, Sarah Hill, 

 which seems a splendid thing. It is, a 

 good keeper and Richmond florists who 

 have watched it say it is a splendid pro- 

 ducer. Lawson Enchantress also was ex- 

 hibited by this firm, neither exhibit being 

 for competition. 



It was the practically unanimous opin- 

 ion that the finest vase in the show was 

 Bassett & Washburn's new red, Oriand 

 P. Bassett. In the dark pink class Aft- 

 erglow showed up splendidly, but was 

 beaten by Aristocrat, sent out last year, 

 and from the same originator. Defiance, 

 shown by Jensen & Dekema, was well 

 liked by the growers. White Perfection 

 is hard to beat, but White Enchantress, 

 exhibited by several, is what its name 

 implies and sure to be grown largely 

 next year. Beacon and Winsor were 

 shown in splendid shape. 



Among seedling carnations exhibited 

 November 9 was Snowdrift, a fine white 

 from R. Witterstaetter ; Red Fisher, from 

 A. C. Canfield; Lucille, from F. Bahr; an 

 unnamed white from the Wanoka Green- 

 houses, Barneveld, N. Y. ; Winona, from 



Dorner & Sons Co.; Defiance and Sin- 

 cerity, by W. N. Eudd and Jensen & 

 Dekema, and several seedlings \mder 

 number from Mount Greenwood Ceme- 

 tery Association. No. 1605a, among the 

 latter, scored 89 points and the judges 

 pronounced it the best thing in the seed- 

 ling line at this show.
