The State Fair. 



The West Michigan State Fair was 

 the nujst successful ever held here, clear- 

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

 j)artment the exhibitors wore Crabb & 

 Hunter Floral Co.. Grand Eapids Floral 

 Co., Kii Cross, II. Danhoff, Madge A. 

 Dolan and Lilla V. Kii)]), the last a dahlia 

 specialist from Kockford, Mich. 



The lloral designs were the finest ever 

 shown at the West Michigan Fair. So 

 evi'niy balanced were Cross's and Crabb 

 & Hunter's designs that it took the 

 judges over three hours to decide wiiitdi 

 should receive first j)rize. At last Cross 

 received first, Crabb & Hunter Floral 

 Co. second. Grand Rapids Floral Co. 

 third. 



Considering the size and quality of the 

 work shown, the premiums are believed 

 to bo inadequate and an effort is to be 

 made next year to have the jiremiums 

 on all the cut fiower 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 Rapids Flonil Co. 

 received seven firsts and ten seconds. H. 

 Daidioff 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 iloubt, to the drought.
