Each box was filled with a different 

 variety, thus making not only a most 

 pleasant effect but introducing a most 

 satisfactory way of showing each va- 

 riety to the best advantage, somewhat 

 on the English exhibition board style. 

 In this way every flower was shown at 

 its best, especially the cactus varieties. 



On the opposite side of the center an 

 effort at design work was made. In 

 preparation a slanting staging was 

 built, which was covered with flats filled 

 with moss, making a solid bank sixty- 

 four feet long and six feet high. Com- 

 mencing at one end, a 12-foot space was 

 covered with Delice as a ground, in 

 which was a cornucopia of Golden West, 

 followed by a photograph of four of 

 the presidential candidates, each in a 

 frame of dahlias 5x6 feet. Taf t was sur- 

 rounded by Souvenir de Gustavo Doaz- 

 on; Wilson, by Cuban Giant; Roosevelt, 

 by Mrs. Eoosevelt, and Chafin, by Grand 

 Duke Alexis. These were followed by a 

 block the same size of pompon dahlias, 

 in which were circular beds each four 

 feet in diameter, featuring special 

 kinds, finishing with another 12-foot 

 space of Jack Rose, surrounding a cor- 

 nucopia of Master Carl, altogether mak- 

 ing a magnificent and much admired 

 arrangement, requiring about 10,000 

 flowers. 



A design 6x2 contained a life-size 

 bust photograph of the senior member 

 of the firm surrounded by a Camselia- 

 flora in a Maltese cross effect filled in 

 with Jack Rose, making a frame five 

 feet wide, at each side of which were 

 panels eighteen inches wide of Kriem- 

 hilde and Prof. Mansfield. 



In the field there are about thirty- 

 five acres of dahlias and fifteen acres 

 of cannas, all in the best of shape, with 

 every prospect of a splendid crop of 

 roots. The stock houses of geraniums 

 in the standard varieties have all been 

 replanted, requiring nearly 130,000 

 plants, which are ready to commence 

 propagating and which should furnish 

 an enormous" amount of cuttings, which 

 are potted directly from the stock into 

 2-inch pots.

Freeport, HI. — John Bauscher, the 

 Chicago street florist, enjoys the unique 

 distinction of being the greatest

 United States. At the meeting of Free- 

 port lodge No. 617, B. P. O. E., Septem- 

 ber 19, Mr. Bauscher was initiated along 

 with fifteen others into the mysteries 

 of Elkdom, this last affiliation making

 tions to which he belongs.
