The Carnations. 



The carnations preceded the roses 

 by one day, being staged November 16. 

 The quality of the stock was something 

 notable, there being absolutely not one 

 poor vase in the several dozens shown. 

 The average quality was what one 

 would expect of February rather than 

 November. "White Wonder was head 

 and shoulders above the other whites. 

 Gloriosa showed up well and apparent- 

 ly Enchantress, though still the most 

 largely grown variety, has a rival 

 here. Bonfire was fine, but Beacon and 

 Victory are the standard reds at Mil- 

 waukee. C. C. Pollworth Co. showed 

 a red seedling 1;hat stood up so boldly 

 that its owners are encouraged to go 

 ahead working up stock. The Chicago 

 Carnation Co., Joliet, had the misfor- 

 tune to have its flowers heat in transit, 

 but nevertheless received six awards. 

 Other growers who staged first-class 

 stock were: Nic Zweifel, Burlington 

 Floral Co., Manke Bros., Mueller & 

 Schroeder Co., C. C. Pollworth Co., 

 Northwestern Floral Co., Mount Green- 

 wood Cemetery Association, Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co. and Paul E. Weiss. 



The awards for carnations were as 

 follows:

Chrysanthemum Cut Blooms. 



Not often does one see .better fin- 

 ished cut blooms of chrysanthemums 

 than were staged at Milwaukee. For 

 instance, in the class for forty white 

 there were three splendid vases of 

 Eaton, C. Q. Pollworth Co., Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co. and E. G. Hill Co. winning in 

 the order named. Pollworth had a 

 grand lot of Golden Wedding, but the 

 judges placed it second to Poehlmann 's 

 Chadwick in the class for forty blooras 

 of any variety. Elmer D. Smith had a 

 splendid vase of Enguehard, defeating 

 Hill's Wells' Late Pink. 



The only novelty in mums, aside 

 from a Mount Greenwood seedling, was 

 Chadwick Supreme, from A. N. Pierson. 

 The strong point about this variety is 

 that it comes in after all the other 

 pinks are gone, when it sells better 

 than the finest pinks do earlier. 



The following were the awards on 

 out blooms of chrysanthemums: 



Forty blooms, any variety, any color — Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., Chicago, first, with Chadwick; 

 C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee, second, with 

 Golden Wedding; K. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., 

 third, with Bonnalton. 



Forty blooms, white — C. O. Pollworth Co., first. 

 with Eaton; Poehlmann ' Bros. Co., second, with 

 Eaton; E. G. Hill Co., third, also with Eaton. 



Forty blooms, pink — Elmer D. Smith & Co., 

 Adrian. Mich., first, with Dr; Enguehard; B. G. 

 Hill Co., second, with WeUs' Late Pink; Mt.
