time. The subject for discussion was 

 chrysanthemums, of which there was a 

 grand display, so great that the hall was 

 overcrowded and there was hardly room 

 to display them to advantage. 



Among the exhibitors of cut blooms, 

 E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., took 

 first place with a grand display. The 

 twenty or more varieties were all good, 

 and while all were not considered just the 

 thing by those growing cut flowers, the 

 balance were accepted as the correct 

 thing by the park and private gardeners 

 and all will be grown somewhere in Pitts- 

 burg next year. 



The Pittsburg Bose & Carnation Co. 

 showed a vase of Detroyat, which was 

 considered the best appearing pink under 

 artificial light; Morton F. P^nt, Golden 

 Wedding, Appleton, Beatrice May, Mrs. 

 Duckham, Buckley, Alice Byron, Chad- 

 wick and Balfour. This was a most cred- 

 i|tttMe display and' some one remarked 

 that they must all be money makers or 

 Fred Burki would not grow them. 



Schenley park had an exceptionally 

 fine lot of pot plants. 



Walter James, gardener of the West- 

 ern Penitentiary, showed a bunch of 

 blooms grown inside the walls of the 

 penitentiary, in the smokiest part of the 

 «ity, and they were a credit. Mr. Falcon- 

 er says' Walter is one of his old boys 

 and deserved credit for being able to 

 grow stock, handicapped as he is. 



Goodwin & Sons, Bridgeville, showed 

 Mrs. Robinson and Ivory, both good. Mr. 

 Jenkins, Mr. Peacock's gardener, had a 

 fine display jaT cut blooms. Jas. B. 

 Laughlin's gardener was there with his 

 collection and it was .creditable. Mr. 

 Frazer, gardener for H. C. Frick, had 

 quite a display, among them Miss Clay 

 Frick, which was well received. H. 

 Baggs,' of Sewickley, had a vase of mixed 

 chrysanthemums and a vase of roses. Mr. 

 Westhofif, of Allison park, had a vase of 

 mums and a vase of Robt. Craig carna- 

 tions with stems about sixteen inches 

 long, which were considered fine for this 

 time of year. 



A \'i8itor from the east who was pres- 

 ent made a few remarks and expressed 

 astonishment that a club such as ours, in 



a city as rich as Pittsburg, did not huve 

 enough enterprise to secure prizes and 

 get up a chrysanthemum show, and said 

 he had made it a rule to attend the east- 

 ern shows and would guarantee that if 

 our people would send such flowerr as 

 were shown at the club along with such 

 a bunch of carnations to the Philadelphia 

 show they would bring home prizes. It 

 sounded good to the members and tickled 

 a weak spot all right and is a safe thing 

 to say in a strange city. However, it is 

 hoped all Pittsburg readers will take 

 note of these remarks and get busy be-. 

 fore another year. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Burki left November 9, with his 

 family, for a few weeks in the south, vis- 

 iting his sister in "Virginia. 



The Gude brothers, of Washington, 

 stopped in.t^is city on their way west to 

 pay a visft to the piftsbmg Itbsfe & Car- 

 nation Co., and say they were well re- 

 paid for the time and trouble. 



Hoo-Hoo.
