11. X. Brmis inaintainod a tahlt 

 cut valley througliont tlie show. 



In tlio annex ^'allgllan 's Seed Store 

 had a table showing a large variety 

 of vegetables, attractively arranged. 



After having declined ii ninnber of 

 exhibits from mirseryinen. because of 

 nnticijiated lack of I'ooin. the nianage- 

 jnent found a jdaci' in tlic annex for one 

 such exliibit, tliat of Swain Nelson «Sc 

 Sons Co. Tiie E. Y. Winterson Co. also 

 put up a group of palms, ferns and nurs- 

 ery stock. 



To the public a special feature was 

 the man making, flower pots, and his 

 coni])anion giving a dcmons'tration of 

 potting young stock. 



N. C. Moore & Co., Morion (!rove, 

 III., exhibit(Ml a new yellow iiompon mum 

 named Nellie C. Moore. 



In the days before the competition on 



table decorations, K. Witndioelter and 

 W. J. Smyth maintained dccoratiMl tables 

 in the annex, which were one of the 

 special features, attracting fully as mmdi 

 attention as anything in the show. 'J'he 

 retail work always draws the crowd. It 

 is the most int(n'esting feature to the 

 ladies. 



A.- Lange nuiintained an exhibit of 

 bri(l(>s ' bou<iuets, corsage bt)iiquets, bas- 

 kets, etc., wliiidi was a center of attrac- 

 tion. 



Jn the annt^x A'auglian's Seed Store 

 occui)ie(l a large s]iace with an exhibit 

 I'epresenting a neglected backyard, and 

 the same yard horticulturally endiej- 

 lishi^d. Th(^ bi'forc^-taking side of the 

 l)icture never fiiiled to jirovoke a laugh, 

 and the after taking side was admirablv 

 executed. Probably the exhibit will (1 

 as nnich as anything in the show in 

 the way of .Mctuaily increasing the dj 

 niand for plants and- flowers. 



The tlower booth, for the sale of 

 blooms, is conducted for tiie ('hicago 

 Florists' Club, by .Mrs. T. K. Waters, 

 and is doing a jirosperous business.

J. W. Dudley, I'arkersburg, W. Va., 

 had .a, display of Begonia (iloire de 

 Lorraine in good shape. 



K. M. Barton put- up a fine table of 

 vegetables. 



The information booth is in charge of 

 the /private gardeners, Emil B<iliinger, 

 cli.yrman. and their selection for this 

 du/\- was a most happy one.

 eipliia. is present, but his exhibit is 

 ;it tli(> Croat Northern hotel, where he 

 las a large liiK^ of florists' supplies.
