NATIONAL SHOW BANQUET. 



The banquet to visiting florists at the 

 Auditorium hotel, Chicago, November 10, 

 was a love feast as well, also the most 

 notable gathering of horticulturists ever 

 brought together in this country. Prac- 

 tically every state in the Union was rep- 

 resented, and Canada also. The keynote 

 of the evening was struck by President 

 Leonard Kill when he said that Chicago 

 took for itself only small credit for the 

 local part of national preparation made 

 for the great exhibition, and that Chi- 

 cago was abundantly repaid for any ef- 

 fort by the presence of so large and so 

 represent^.tive a gathering. 



Between 400 and 500 were present, 

 more than 100 ladies being among the 

 guests. It was the first time in the his- 

 tory of these annual flower show ban- 

 quets at Chicago that the ladies have 

 graced the occasion, and nearly every 

 speaker had a word to say in recognition 

 of the additional pleasure their presence 

 gave. The menu was as follows:

President Kill spoke briefly in wel-

 from its meeting the evening before, and
