LITTLE ROCK, ARK. 



The first annual flower show of the 

 Arkansas Floral Society was held in the 

 banquet room of the Hotel Marion No- 

 vember 14 to 16. The exhibits were 

 sufficient to fill the space provided, and 

 the quality of the stock was excellent. 

 The manager of the show was P. M. 

 Palze, of Vestal & Son, which was a 

 guarantee of capable arrangement. As 

 an artistic success the show left noth- 

 ing to be desired, and financially it was 

 satisfactory, the attendance being large 

 throughout, and the interest taken by 

 the best flower buyers of the town all 

 that could be desired. The principal 

 trade exhibitors from outside of Little 

 Rock were the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, 

 Ind., which staged a large number of 

 new variety chrysanthemums and the 

 new rose, Rhea Reid; Vaughan & Sperry, 

 Chicago, who exhibited violets, all the 

 way from the Hudson river ; H. W. Buck- 

 bee, of Eockford, 111., who exhibited cut 

 blooms of chrysanthemums, carnations 

 and roses and pot plants of chrysanthe- 

 mums; Poehlmann Bros. Co., of Chicago, 

 which exhibited chrysanthemums, carna- 

 tions and roses; Nathan Smith & Son, 

 Adrian, Mich., cut chrysanthemums; Pe- 

 ter Reinberg, Chicago, who exhibited the 

 new rose, Mrs. Marshall Field; Charles 

 W. McKellar, Chicago, who exhibited or- 

 chids, and Zech & Mann, Chicago, who 

 sent chrysanthemums. 



J. W. Vestal & Son were the leading 

 exhibitors among the local trade, and 

 captured nearly all of the many pre- 

 miums for plants, there being several 

 local amateurs who also put up good dis- 

 plays.
