MILWAUKEE. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club sprung 

 a surprise on the trade last week. Every- 

 body knew that Milwaukee was going to 

 have a right smart flower show, as a 

 southerner would put it, but few, if any, 

 looked for a show which would rival the 

 exhibition at Chicago, which has come 

 to be known as the country's biggest 

 autumn exhibition. The Milwaukee show 

 lacked only the encompassing circle of 

 retail booths, the frame for the picture, 

 to bind the exhibition into an harmo- 

 nious whole, to stand comparison on every 

 point with the exhibition at Chicago. 

 Indeed, in some respects Chicago was 

 outclassed. There were more entries for 

 cut mums at Milwaukee than at Chicago, 

 and the arrangement and general effect 

 of the ensemble was not less satisfactory. 

 There were not so many roses as at Chi- 

 cago, but there were more carnations. 



This is the first time the Milwaukee 

 Florists' Club has had an adequate 

 building for a show. The new Audi- 

 torium leaves little to be desired. Mil- 

 waukee never before has had an exhibi- 

 tion of this magnitude, so the attendance 

 was not much of an evidence of what 

 it will be in years to come, except that 

 the later days of the show the public 

 thronged to the exhibition in numbers 

 sufficient to tax the capacity of the floor 

 space. It was a strictly trade exhibi- 

 tion, the exhibits being practically all 

 those of commercial growers, the private 

 gardener element taking no conspicuous 

 part. In the future Milwaukee will have, 

 if this year's show is a fair indication, 

 one of the big commercial exhibitions of 

 the country, one which will command 

 the attention of the trade and be no less 

 an educator of the public taste because 

 of the element of the personal interest 

 which enters into the efforts of flower 

 sellers to create flower lovers. 



The awards at the Milwaukee show
