This was distinctly a trade show, 



given by florists, for the purpose of 



interesting the public in flowers. To 



help along the work President Adrian, 



of the Florists' Society, appointed a 



loinmittee of information for each day, 



the duty being to mix with the visitors 



and explain the exhibits to them. The 



committees were: 



Monday — Jas. Allen, chairman; Frank Dellar, 

 Herbert Greensmith, J. A. Peterson, Alex. 

 Ostendarp. 



Tuesday — Chas. H. Hoffmelster, chairman; D. 

 itusdonl, A. C. Hickman, Jr., J. Chas. Murphy, 

 Hen George. 



Wednesday— C. E. Critcliell. chairman; -Mto 

 Hoffmeister, R. C. Wltterstaetter, Dan Car- 

 inichael. 



Thursday — .T. A. Peterson, chairman; George 

 Tromey, Al. Sunderbruch, Bd. Fries, Gus Adrian. 



Friday — Henry Scbwarz, chairman; J. Chas. 

 .McCullough, Chas. Brunner, Ed. Schumann, Jas. 

 Allen. 



Saturday— C. J. Jones, chairman; Chas. Wlt- 

 terstaetter, Ernst Mack, Fred Backm^ier, Willis 

 Kennedy. 



Tuesday was carnation day and the 

 consensus of opinion was that the stock 



exhibited was the best collection ever 

 gathered for a single show this early 

 in the season. The stems and blooms 

 would do credit to February rather 

 than November. E. C. Wltterstaetter 

 won the silver cup for the best seed- 

 ling carnation with Valentine, while 

 H. W. Bieman, of Indianapolis, took 

 the silver cup for the best seedling 

 chrysanthemum with White Ball. 



There were many trade visitors from 

 out of town the early part of the week. 

 Some will leave in time to take in part 

 of the Milwaukee show, while others 

 will remain. 



The attendance for the first two days 

 was small and unless the close brings 

 more people there promises to be a 

 large call on the guarantors.
