Annual Dahlia Exhibition. 



The annual autumn flower show, Sep- 

 temper 16 and 17, brought out a splendid 

 exhibition of dahlias and other seasonable 

 flowers. Probably in no city in the coun- 

 try are there so many dahlia specialists 

 and the quality of their exhibits is high. 

 Mrs. H. A. Jahn 's silver cup for the most 

 meritorious exhibit in the show went to 

 James Garthley for a fine group of palms, 

 hydrangeas, lilies, etc., in which vases of 

 dahlias were used to good effect. The 

 principal prize winners were: W. F. 

 Turner & Co., W. D. Hathaway, Mrs. H. 

 A. Jahn, F. L. Tinkham, J. P. Bodge, 

 Mrs. George Fuller, Joseph Thorpe, T. M. 

 Stetson, H. F. Burt and George H. 

 Walker. 



The W. W. Eawson silver medal for 

 best cactus dahlia seedling went to W. F. 

 Turner & Co. A bronze medal offered by 

 the same firm for best specimen of W. W. 

 Bawson show dahlia was also taken by 

 W. F. Turner & Co., also the Farquhar 

 special for twelve blooms of peony-flow- 

 ered dahlias in not less than three vari- 

 eties. The society 's silver medal for best 

 seedling was taken by Mrs. H. A. Jahn. 

 The Parkinson silver cup for twenty-five 

 blooms for amateurs went to M. McCarthy 

 and for twelve blooms to James McVicar.

ThcMa^et 



The market conditions of last week 

 were about the same aa the previous, with 

 the exception that the supply of gladioli 

 and asters is on the decline, making roses 

 and carnations, which are improving day 

 by day, better property. There also was 

 an unusual demand for valley. 



SUte Fair. 



"With Friday, September 17, this year's 

 state fair came to an end and, by all 

 reports, it was a grand success. While no 

 oflicial report has yet been given out, it is 

 probable that there will be a small sur- 

 plus, which is gratifying news. It really 

 was a good display in everything except 

 flowers, outside of the flower beds which 

 beautified the grounds. The prizes on 

 these were awarded as follows : 



Geranlnms, Heitman & Baerman, tint; R. 

 Preu88, second. 



i Salvia, B. Preuss, first; Heitman & Baer- 

 inan, second. 



CamM, Heitman & Baerman, first; R. Preusa, 

 secono. 



Any other bed, Heitman & Baerman, first; 

 John Dunlap, second. 



Alex Klockner, John Dunlap and H. W. 



Koerner were the leading exhibitors of 



cut stock and pot plants. The honors 



were equally divided among them. Hun- 



kel's Seed Store and W. E. Dallwig each 



had a creditable display in the seed line. 



Vaiiouf Notes. 



Last Sunday the store force of the 

 Holton & Hunkel Co. played a return 

 baseball game with the greenhouse force 

 of the same firm at Brown Deer. The 

 weather was not any too favorable, but 

 they played just the same. The score was 

 23 to 22 in favor of the greenhouse team. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports having 

 sent out a carload of French bulbs of 

 extra fine quality last week. 



The following were visitors: John 

 Peterson, Escanaba, Mich.; Otto Sylves- 

 ter, Oconomowoc; Jno. Bheinfiisch, Be- 

 loit; Mrs. C. J. Lotz, Watertown; J. Tre-
