Other Awards.

 H. M. Lown, Ehinebeck, N. Y., first.

 valley, Poehlmann Bros. Co., first; H. N. 

 Bruns, second. The Bruns exhibit con- 

 sisted of 500 spikes, that of Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., of several times that number. 



After the rose awards had been an- 

 nounced, it was found necessary in con- 

 formity with the rules to rejudge several

 itor had made more than one entry. The 

 results of the rejudging were as follows: 



100 Beauty, Bassett & Washburn, first ; 

 Peter Eeinberg, second; Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., third. 



Forty Eichmond, Bassett & Washburn, 

 first; Peter Eeinberg, second; Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., third. 



Forty any other variety, Peter Eein- 

 berg, first; Bassett & Washburn, second; 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., third. 



100 Eichmond, Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 first; Peter Eeinberg, second. 



100 White Killarney, Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., first. 



The judges concluded their work with 

 recognition of the merit of the exhibits 

 in the annex, which were not for competi- 

 tion, mentioning those of Winterson'a 

 Seed Store, George Wittbold Co., Axel 

 Setterberg, Maywood Nursery Co., Leea- 

 ley Bros, and Vaughan's Seed Store. 

 Their report concluded: "Alois Frey, 

 Crown Point, Ind., has a fine exhibit of 

 single chrysanthemums, worthy of a cer- 

 tificate. Lincoln park, Chicago, has an 

 extensive exhibit of well-grown collections 

 of palms and fine decorative plants. 

 South park has a fine group of palms and 

 decorative plants and also a very choice 

 exhibit of Adiantum Farleyense, orchids 

 and a group of cyclamens. Special com- 

 mendation should be given to the park 

 exhibits, as they are very worthy." 



Miccellaneout Exhibits. 



One of the largest exhibits of the show 

 was that of Wietor Bros., who staged 

 eight varieties of roses, five of the big 

 exhibition mums and eleven varieties of 

 pompons and singles. The display was 

 not for competition, but was arranged 

 for decorative effect. 



F. H. Lemon & Co., Eichmond, Ind., 

 put up an attractive vase of mums ar- 



ranged for effect. The two varieties were 

 Ileston's White and Winter Cheer, red, 

 an equal number of blooms of each color, 

 arranged so that the two colors alter- 

 nated perfectly through the hundred or 

 more in the vase, like a checker board. 



Alois Frey, Crown Point, Ind., staged 

 twenty-eight varieties of single mums, of 

 his own raising, and including many fine 

 kinds. 



The Glencoe Violet Farm exhibited 400 

 of its trademarked flowers. 



H. P. Smith, Piqua, 0., sent a vase of 

 a yellow sport of Touset, which attracted 

 much attention. 



F. Dorner & Sons Co. had vases of two 

 yellow chrysanthemums that showed up 

 strongly. One was Golden Eagle and the 

 other Merry Jane. 



The Schiller Estate sent a group of 

 Nephrolepis Superbissima that made an 

 attractive feature. 



W. N. Eudd showed a vase of his white 

 carnation, Mrs. J. C, Vaughan. 



N. Zweifel staged a few blooms of his 

 dark pink seedling, Badger State. 



Hospitalities. 



Instead of the annual banquet to vis- 

 itors, a stag party was given in the Coli- 

 seum annex, Thursday evening, November 

 4. Those present numbered 314, eighty- 

 one visiting florists and 233 locals. 



While the gentlemen were gathered in 

 the Coliseum annex, the visiting ladies to 

 the number of some thirty, chaperoned by 

 Phil Foley, possibly selected because of 

 his matronly proportions, were enter- 

 tained at Ben Hur at the Auditorium and 

 later at supper. 



Jottings. 



Judge John T. Temple says that the 

 reason the Milwaukee carnation growers 

 were so successful is that they doubtless 

 watered their stock with the product that 

 made Milwaukee famous, the stimulating 

 properties of which are well known. 



The green substance that the attend- 

 ants scattered on the floor before sweep- 

 ing was Kilduat and N. J. Wietor, presi- 

 dent of the Kildust Kemical Kompany, 

 defied anyone to detect dust in the air. 



C. W. Johnson states that the variety 

 of chrysanthemum with which Mt. Green- 

 wood Association won for best 100 

 blooms, was Mrs. Charles Eazer. It 

 closely resembles Virginia Poehlmann, 



but is a little more closely incurved and 

 of purest white. 



The third prize for twenty-five Ameri- 

 can Beauties should have been credited to 

 L. A. Coles instead of W. W. Coles, hia 

 father. The young man has recently 

 started in business for himaelf at Koko- 

 mo and has one house of Beauties. 



H. E. Philpott worked indefatigably in 

 charge of the booth for the sale of flow- 

 ers and the Chicago Florists' Club will 

 find its treasury enriched by a good, 

 round sum as the results of the efforts 

 of Mr. Philpott and his assistants. 



Friday, November 5, the Chicago Car- 

 nation Co., A. T, Pyfer, manager, took a 

 party of visitors to JoUet on a special «ar 

 leaving at 11:45 a. m. and arriving at 

 the greenhouses in time for luncheon. The 

 trip was specially for the purpose of see- 

 ing Conquest, Sangamo and Mary Tolman 

 growing.
