Miscellaneous Cut Flowers. 



There "were superb Marie Louise vio- 

 lets from Watertown, Wis., and the 

 Easter lilies were so uniformly good 

 that the best the judges could do was 

 to split the money equally between the 

 four exhibitors. Fine antirrhinum also 

 was shown and the valley was excellent, 

 although not well staged. The awards 

 for miscellaneous cut flowers were as 

 follows: 



Orchids — James Livingston, Milwaukee, first.

Miscellaneous Plants. 



This was purely a florists' flower 

 show and it was stronger in miscella- 

 neous plants than in any other feature. 

 Hardly ever is there so comprehensive 

 a showing of the kind of plants the 

 visitor can find on sale in any flower 

 store. The palms and ferns were fine 

 commercial stock and the displays were 

 all local except three groups from 



Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, one 

 of araucarias, one of Phcenix Boebelenii 

 and one of Cocos Weddelliana, the lat- 

 ter two including all sizes. There were 

 groups of palms from five exhibitors, 

 including Holton & Hunkel Co., Edlef- 

 sen-Leidiger Co., Currie Bros. Co., A. F. 

 Kellner Co. and Jacob Freytag. Groups 

 of ferns were even more numerous and 

 included some specially well arranged 

 lots of Boston and its sports from 

 Pollworth and Holton & Hunkel and 

 some excellent Cibotium Schiedei from 

 Currie Bros. Co. Groups of araucarias 

 were shown by Pollworth, Holton & 

 Hunkel, Edlefsen-Leidiger, Currie and 

 Jacob Freytag. 



In flowering plants, geraniums were 

 particularly well shown; Heitman & 

 Baerman, Plocienniczak Bros., Walter 

 H. Hummel & Co., Thomas Griebler and 

 Otto H. Eggebrecht all had good 

 groups. There were three good lots 

 of cyclamens, from Carl Meier, Fox 

 Point Floral Co. and Charles Kitzerow. 

 Begonias were notably numerous. J. E. 

 Matthewson, Sheboygan, included La 

 Patrie in his lot, but all the others 

 were Lorraine type. The exhibitors in- 

 eluded J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, Fred 

 Vogel, Jr., C. C. Pollworth Co., Jacob 

 Freytag and Plocienniczak Bros. 



The following were the awards on
