The Florists' Review 



w 



entries in some" of the rose classes, all 

 local except for three exhibitors, Poehl- 

 maun Bros. Co., Chicago; Pyfer & Olsem, 

 of Wiliriette, and QuUett & Sjap, Lin- 

 ('oln. The Poehlmainn entries made a 

 dean sweep, taking all the first prizes 

 on the varieties shown. The principal 

 other exhibitors were G. J. Dinkel, A. C. 

 Brown arid Hembreiker & Cole, all of 

 Springfield. 



The Carnations. 

 The J. !>• Thompson Carnation Co., 

 ./oliet, a new exhibitor, made a fine 

 showing in the carnation classes, taking 

 ><'ven first prizes on nine entries. Among 

 til em were the two big prizes, for the 

 best 100 blooms and for four vases, fifty 

 blooms each of four varieties. The prin- 

 I ipal other exhibitors were Poehlmann 

 r.ros. Co., and GuUett & Sons. The Chi- 

 o:igo Carnation Co. did not set up its 

 blooms, as they had suffered in transit. 



Miscellaneous Cut Flowers. 



In spite of the early date there was 

 a good showing of mtims, four entries 

 in the class calling . for fifty blooms. 

 Pyfer & Olsem, Wilmette, were first. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. put up a beauti- 

 ful display of cattleyas and oncidiums 

 in the class for cut orchids and also took 

 first for 100 sprays of valley, but the 

 prize was not so much as the flowers 

 were worth in the market. 



Betailers' Work. 



There are few metropolitan exhibi- 

 tions that can make the showing of re- 

 tail work that is seen at the Spring- 

 field fair. It is in this department that 

 the exhibitors get the best publicity for 

 home consumption. This year there were 

 nine contestants, as many as eight of 

 them entering in the classes for sprays. 

 Nearly all the Springfield florists put up 

 work and from outside there were Geo. 

 A. Kuhl, of Pekin; GuUett & Sons, of 

 Lincoln; A. T. Hey, of Maywood, and 

 Pyfer & Olsem, of Wilmette. The local 

 exhibitors included Hembreiker & Cole, 

 A, C. Brown, G. J. Dinkel, G. M. Briuk- 

 erhoflf and the Janssen Seed & Floral Co. 

 Coni petition was keen and the awards 

 fairly equally divided. 



Miscellaneous Plants. 



The show opened with the miscel- 

 laneous plant classes, staged September 

 21. Competition here was not quite so 

 keen as usual, although Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. entered in these classes for the first 

 time and captured premiums on each 

 entry. The awards in these classes were 

 as follows:

WILLIAM MURPHY. 



PERHAPS it IS hay fever that sends William Sureshot Murphy to Les Cheneaux 

 islands every year — and then again perhaps it isn't. Perhaps it's only his 

 love of the out-of-doors, the open air, the rod and gun. Mr. Murphy's friends 

 will recognize the illustration as characteristic, as the Cincinnati wholesale florist 

 is widely known as a woodsman. He is at Les Cheneaux this month as usual 

 dodging the sneezes and storing up energy for the busy season, for Murphy 

 pursues the elusive dollar as indefatigably ten months in the year as he does his 

 hobby the other two. He works hard and plays hard, but he is the best natured 

 kindest hearted and most tolerant of men. '
