Jottings. 



It was well done and a grand success, 

 thus reflecting great credit on the 

 executive committee, which consisted of 

 C. Dallwig, C. C. Pollworth, J. G. Heit- 

 man, N. Zweifel, W. Zimmermann, G. 

 Kellner and H. V. Hunkel, with the lat- 

 ter as chairman, upon whose shoulders 

 practically tiie whole thing rested. When 

 the opening hour was reached every- 

 thing was finished. The main hall of 

 the new Auditorium, in which the show 

 was held, with its white finish, furnished 

 an elegant background and the decora- 

 tions under the supervision of A. Kell- 

 ner were fine, presenting a garden spot 

 with five full-sized garden houses, one 

 in the center and one in each corner, 

 covered with wild smilax, trailing vincas 

 and Japanese lanterns, which furnished 

 a most pleasant resting place for 

 visitors. 



Alex. Klokner had a display of nurs- 

 ery stock and some aquatic plants, 

 which, although not beautiful, were out 

 of the ordinary and did not mar the 

 beauty whatever. The competing dis- 

 play of palms and ferns plus the orig- 

 inal hanging baskets of wild smilax, 

 with yellow tinted etectric light effects, 

 gave the whole thing an artistic appear- 

 ance. 



Friday was carnation day and this 

 brought out an exhibition which as to 

 quality and quantity compared favorably 

 with any other flower show of the coun- 

 try. There were 108 vases of carnations 

 and only a few of these were put up, 



not for competition; in fact, competi- 

 tion in a good many cases was so keen 

 that it took more time to jndge than 

 was looked for. 



Saturday was rose day and, as there 

 are not so many grown around here, the 

 i^display. Mas not large, but the exhibits 

 ■•Dir"hfed were a credit to the show. 



'Stinday the only new feature was the 

 changing of dinner table decorations, 

 which also were on display Friday and 

 Saturday. 



This being the first show of any kind 

 by the local club since 1905, the public 

 really did not know what it might ex- 

 pect, and with rain the first day the at- 

 tendance was small. On the second day 

 the attendance was fair, but Saturday 

 the hall was crowded to the doors and 

 Sunday afternoon and evening was also 

 well attended. 



The judges fo? the table decorations 

 were lady representatives of six Mil- 

 waukee newspapers, and this, with the 

 good work of the press agent, undoubt- 

 edly brought the desired results. Emil 

 Buettner, Rogers Park, 111.; J. E. Mat- 

 thewson, Sheboygan, Wis., and Otto Spei- 

 del, of Oconomowoc, Wis., acted as 

 juftges in the general classes. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. had forty- 

 seven entries, which shows that they did 

 their share to help make a big show. 



In the American Beauty class the en- 

 try of Holton & Hunkel Co. was fine. 



Heitman & Baerman had several vases 

 of fine mixed carnations for exhibition 

 only, and a good sized geranium bed bor- 

 dered with salvia. 



F. Hesse had quite a display of well 

 grown Eex and other begonias an(i a 

 neat basket of mixed plants. 



Theo. Boettcher had a neat group with 

 a specimen latania as a center, finished 

 off with chrysanthemum plants in 6-inch 

 pots, cyclamen, stevia and Salleroi ger- 

 aniums. 



Kenneth Barnhart, Peter Schilt, gar- 

 dener, Evanston, 111., had a unique mum 

 plant. Dr. Enguehard variety, trained 

 in two rows, semicircular form, which 

 attracted considerable attention. 



In the class for single specimen cut 

 blooms E, G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind., 

 came in strong with good stock. Others 

 who displayed fine mum cut blooms were
