The presence of Mr. Buckbee among 

 the private gardeners is explained by an 

 error in the schedule, which stated classes 

 ll'O to 123 inclusive were limited to pri- 

 vate gardeners, when 110 to 126 was in- 

 tended. Mr. Buckbee entered every class 

 he had stock for.

 • Notes. 



The benefit flower booth did a big 

 business under the management of W. P. 

 Kyle, who had the assistance of H. E. 

 Philpott as chief salesman. 



W. P. Craig and W. N. Rudd were dis- 

 appointed at the way the judges "scored 

 their pets. If the Cubs had been no more 

 successful than were this set of judges 

 at rolling up good scores, we never would 

 have won the world's championship. 



In addition to the trade displays noted 

 in last week's report, W. A. Manda 

 brought a group of his new draceenas 

 from South Orange, N. J. 



Among the successful features was 

 the voting contest on the school to re- 

 ceive the collection of house plants. The 

 efforts of the pupils to get- their friends 

 to attend and vote no doubt helped the 

 attendance materially. Alois Fry's twen- 

 ty-five mums which were named by lot

Private Gardeners' Exhibits. 



The exhibits of the private gardeners 

 were of uniformly excellent quality, as 

 they always are, and the special pre- 

 miums served to bring out a larger com- 

 petition than usual. The awards follow:

 Reardon gardener, first; A. S, Trude, 

 Robert Mueller gardener, second.

Special Awards. 



The judges recommended a certificate 

 of merit for Dracaena Mandaiana, special 

 recognition of a rose of yellow Eaton 

 exhibited by Poehlmann Bros. Co., and 

 gave high commendation to the land- 

 8(ftipe and seed display of Vaughan's 

 Seed Store. 



Special mention in the judges' report

 son; philodendron, from F. R. Weisser-

drawn from a box in which the ladies 

 deposited their cards, was another good 

 advertising feature. One of the mums 

 was named for May Irwin, the actress, 

 and another for Ida Kroeschell, daugh- 

 ter of one of the Kroeschell brothers. 



The Banquet. 



Nearly 200 persons, a large majority 

 of them trade visitors, attended the an- 

 nual banquet of the Florists' Club at 

 the Auditorium hotel Saturday evening. 

 At the right hand of President Bruns sat 

 F. H. Traendly, of New York, president- 

 elect of the S. A. F., and W. F. Kast- 

 ing, of Buffalo, chairman of the commit- 

 tee on national flower show. These gen- 

 tlemen were unfortunately compelled to 

 take an early train, but those present 

 were given an opportunity to hear them 

 between courses of the banquet. Both 

 Mr. Traendly and Mr. Kasting spoke for 

 united support of the S. A. F. and its 

 big show next year. Mr. Traendly in- 

 vited co-operation also for the August 

 -convention at Niagara Falls. Mr. l^wt- 

 ing outlined the national show arrange- 

 ments as so far completed.
