MILWAUKEE. / 



Encouraged by the success of the; ex- 

 hibitions of the past, the ' Milwaukee 

 Florists' Club opened, Wednesday, jNo- 

 vember 15, the most pretentious exhibi- 

 tion in the west this season. The' de- 

 cision to omit the usual show at Chi- 

 cago had encouraged H. V. Hunkel, 

 president of the club, to put forth' his 

 best efforts in the belief -that a nottible 

 record could be made. His chief lieu- 

 tenant, Mr. Kellner, and First Sergeant 

 Oestreicher, also workjBd to make the 

 show not only the best Milwaukee has 

 ever had, but to give the trade visitors, 

 of whom there will be many before 

 the week is over, an exhibition that is 

 worth the trip. The decorations are 

 more elaborate than before, and on the 

 whole the Milwaukee club congratu- 

 lates itself on the number of exhibits, 

 for this seems to be a year when entries 

 are not so numerous, the country over, 

 as they have been in some other sea- 

 sons. Milwaukee has probably the 

 largest show of the year, and it is a 

 show made entirely by the trade. The 

 local retailers are doing their part. 



Since the show did not open until 

 Wednesday afternoon, the awards were 

 not ready for this edition, but will 

 appear next week. 



LAKE GENEVA, WIS. 



The seventh annual chrysanthemum 

 exhibition, given by the Lake Geneva 

 Gardeners' and Foremen's Association, 

 was held at St. Francis' hall November 

 7 and 8. The exhibition was one of the 

 best the association has ever put up. 

 The plants and cut flowers were better 

 than at any time heretofore, and the 

 competition keener than ever before; so 

 keen, in fact, that the judge, Wm. Cur- 

 rie, of Milwaukee, wfis sorely Muzzled 

 in many of the classes as to a decision, 

 but when he was through eve^body 

 was satisfied with his work. ^ 



The new horticultural hall, now un- 

 der construction, will give a great deal 

 more room for the exhibitions, and the 

 gardeners will be more able to show to 

 advantage in th'e future than in the 

 past. 



The principal exhibitors and prize 

 winners were: Edward Sandgren, gar- 

 dener to N. K. Fairbank; Frank E. 

 Kuehn, gardener to F. D. Countiss; 

 Axel Johnson, gardener to B. T. Crane; 

 J. J. Krupa, gardener to N. W. Harris; 

 Robert Blackwood, gardener to 8. W. 

 Allerton; A. J. Smith, gardener to J. J. 

 Mitchell; M. Barrett, gardener to M.'A. 

 Ryerson; H. Larson, gardener to C. H. 

 Wacker; R. J. Sampson, gardener to 

 E. F. Swift; Wm. Wahlstedt, gardener 

 to George Sturges, and Wm. Longland. 



HABTFOBD. 



The Connecticut Horticultural So- 

 ciety's annual exhibition of chrysan- 

 themums, held in Putnam Phalanx hall, 

 November 8 and 9, was pronounced by 

 different authorities the best mum show 

 ever given by the society. The blooms 

 were of higher quality than ever before 

 and the floor space was arranged to 

 better advantage for the favorable dis- 

 play of the exhibits. 



A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., 

 sent a fine assortment of plants and cut 

 flowers, not for competition. Among 

 the most prominent and successful ex- 

 hibitors was J. F. Huss, president of 

 the society and gardener for James J.
