PEORIA» ILL. 



D. U. Augspurger & Sons have just 

 finished sowing 100,000 cyclamen seeds. 

 Nearly an entire house was used. Su- 

 perintendent M. D. Augspurger stated 

 that their four new houses were almost 

 completed and that a new boiler would 

 be installed, probably next week. 



J. Nelson disposed of a large lot of 

 Boston and Whitmani fern runners to a 

 local wholesale plant firm. 



Arnold Lomuel has secured a position 

 with Geo. A. Kuhl, of Pekin, 111. 



Budolph Jacobs, formerly with D. U. 

 Augspurger & Sons, is now with Henry 

 Baer. 



Mr. Jerabek says his new houses are 

 nearing completion, and after a little 

 more plumbing, will be ready for stock.

The State Fair. 



The West Michigan State Fair was 

 the most successful ever held here, clear- 

 ing up about $10,000. In the floral de- 

 partment the exhibitors were Crabb & 

 Hunter Floral Co., Grand Eapids Floral 

 Co., Eli Cross, H. Danhoff, Madge A. 

 Dolan and Lilla V. Kipp, the last a dahlia 

 specialist from Rockford, Mich. 



The floral designs were the finest ever 

 shown at the West Michigan Fair. So 

 evenly balanced were Cross's and Crabb 

 & Hunter's designs that it took the 

 judges over three hours to decide which 

 should receive first prize. At last Cross 

 received first, Crabb & Hunter Floral 

 Co. second, Grand Eapids Floral Co. 

 third. 



Considering the size and quality of the 

 work shown, the premiums are believed 

 to be inadequate and an effort is to be 

 made next year to have the premiums 

 on all the cut flower work increased.

took first on the general collection of 

 stove and greenhouse plants, also on 

 palms, and thirteen other firsts and four 

 seconds. The Grand Bapids Floral Co. 

 received seven firsts and ten seconds. H. 

 Danhoflf secured one first and several sec- 

 onds. 



The amateur section, as usual, showed 

 some well grown plants, which compared 

 favorably with last year's exhibit. The 

 cut flowers, however, were inferior to 

 last year's, due, no doubt, to the drought.

Birmingham, Ala. — The local florists 

 are making a united and well directed 

 effort to aid in beautifying the city. The 

 secretary of the Florists' & Hortiicultu- 

 ral society, D. P. Durban, after confer- 

 ring with the president, Hugh Seales, 

 called a meeting of the society Septem-

 and lawns. It is hoped that the house- 

 holders will preserve these schedules for 

 reference.
