pating retailers deserve great credit for 

 their aid in every way. Some outsiders 

 remarked that this show compared favor- 

 ably with the Chicago show. 



In carnations, Winsor was the best 

 keeper, for it showed up just as well 

 Sunday night as when' staged Friday 

 morning, with X. Zweifel's Bright Spot 

 a close second. 



The back yard, before and after, ex- 

 hibit did not occupy a conspicuous 

 place and as the one was too far dis- 

 tant from the otlier, it did not serve the 

 purpose intended. 



J. Finger, West Allis, Wis., had a 

 creditable display of cut mums of the 

 smaller commercial varieties. 



Saturday evening after 9:30 the visit- 

 ing florists were tendered a banquet at 

 the Republican house by members of the 

 Florists' Club. C. C. Pollworth was in- 

 troduced by President Dallwig as toast- 

 master. He in turn called on most of 

 the visitors for a few remarks and thus 

 the time passed and everyone seemed to 

 have enjoyed the little social. H. E. 

 Philpott, president of the Canadian 

 Horticultural Society, was among the 

 guests. E. O.

ROCHESTER. 



Charles H. Vick, who was chairman of 

 the general committee in charge of the 

 recent exhibition of the Rochester Com- 

 mercial Florists' Association, states that 



the success which attended the recent 

 exhibition has insured the show becoming 

 ' an annual event. At a meeting of the 

 association November 8 at the office of 

 James Tick's Sons, Treasurer W. S. Kel- 

 ler gave a partial report of the financial 

 result, showing a profit of approximately 

 $1,000 as a result of the show. The 

 records show that 17,375 people passed 

 through- the gate, of whom 16,289 paid 

 the admission fee. The committee which 

 managed the show was as follows: C. H. 

 Vick, chairman; George B. Hart, W. L. 

 Keller, J. M. Keller, F. J. KeUer, R. G. 

 Salter, E. P. Wilson, A. H. Salter,

ST. LOUIS. 



The flower show given by the St. Louis 

 Horticultural Society opened November 9, 

 in the Coliseum building, under favorable 

 conditions, and closed November 12. The 

 big hall was nicely decorated. The ex- 

 hibition was staged in the big arena, laid 

 out as a park and the edge sodded, which 

 gave all exhibits a neat appearance. The 

 competition in cut flowers was not large 

 on the first day, but became stronger the 

 last three days. In the class for plants 

 Fred C. Weber's Japanese pagoda, deco- 

 rated with cut flowers inside and sur- 

 rounded with plants, was one of the most 

 attractive displays in the hall. The booth 

 of Ostertag Bros, consisted of a fisher- 

 man's dinner table, with electric effects, 

 which was much admired for its original- 

 ity. F. H. Weber had a neat booth sur- 

 rounded with plants, and a table decora- 

 tion in the center. The St. Louis Seed 

 Co. and the Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. both 

 had fine booths, displaying their seeds 

 and bulbs. Otto Sander had a large plat- 

 form on which he displayed several well 

 made-up designs, which were favorably 

 commented upon. Taking everything into 

 consideration, the show was complete in 

 every detail and deserved the success it 

 achieved. The executive board deserves a 

 great deal of credit on the management 

 of the show. Fred H. Meinhardt and O. 

 G. Koenig had charge of the floor and 

 the exhibition. 



The pomological display was not what
