Collection of stove and greenhouse 

 plants, arranged to cover 200 square 

 feet, George M. Brinkerhoff, Springfield, 

 111., first; George Van Horn, Springfield, 

 111., second. 



The liberal premiums offered for 

 palms, ferns and miscellaneous plants 

 brought out an unusually large and ex- 

 ceptionally good displa}'. The principal 

 exhibitors were George A. Kuhl, Pekin, 

 111.; Vaughan's Greenhouses, Western 

 Springs, 111.; and the following Spring- 

 field florists: A. C. Brown, George M. 

 Brinkerhofif, Wirth & Gaupp, George Van 

 Horn. The arrangement was not com- 

 mendable. The plants were all placed on 

 the floor and were widely scattered in 

 order to fill space. The smaller plants 

 and ferns at least would have made a 

 much better appearance had they been on 

 tables. 



The .judges were F. H. Meinhardt and 

 Otto Koenig. of St. Louis, and they did 

 excellent work. 



Liberal premiums also were offered for 

 the exhibits of made-up work by retail 

 florists. These were staged Wednesday 

 afternoon, October 6. The entries the 

 day before gave assurance of an inter- 

 esting display, a number of Chicago en- 

 tries having been received. 



BOSTON. 



The Market 



Not for a long time have flowers been 

 so scarce or sold better than during the 

 last ten days. The overwhelming supply 

 of outdoor flowers is ended and the 

 rather inadequate cuts of chrysanthe- 

 mums, roses and carnations are being 

 relied upon to fill the public's wants. As 

 a consequence, prices have advanced all 

 along the line, and fall business has 

 started in a healthy, old-time manner. 

 Roses are coming in of good quality. 

 Beauties are specially fine, and realize 

 better prices. The same holds true of 

 white and pink Killarney and, in fact, 

 all other roses ; even the short-stemmed 

 blooms, which were almost unsalable a 

 fortnight ago, are eagerly snapped up. 

 Carnations are more plentiful, but the 

 bulk are still short-stemmed; $2 to $3 

 per hundred are average prices, fancies 

 making $4. 



Violets are getting quite numerous, 

 singles predominating, and average 50 

 cents per hundred. Valley has a good 

 call, ns have any seasonable orchids, like 

 Cattleya labiata, oncidiums and cypripe- 

 diums. Chrj'santhemums are seen in 

 greater variety. Some fancy blooms 

 have made up to $3 per dozen, average 

 prices being $6 to $12 per hundred. In 

 addition to Golden Glow, Montmort and 

 Bergniann, there are now some fine Mon-
