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 

 Katon, C. C. I'oihvorth Co., Poehlmann 

 ilros. Co. and F. (i. llill Co. winning in 

 tlie order named. PoUworth had a 

 grand lot of Colden Wedding, but the 

 judges placed it second to Poehlmann 's 

 chadwick in tjic class for forty blooms 

 of any variety. Flmer D. .Smith had a 

 splendid vase of Fnguehard, defeating 

 IlilTs \V(d!s' Late Pink. 



I he only novelty in'" mums, aside 

 iroiii a Mount Greenwood seedling, was 

 < iiadwick .Supreme, from A. N. Pierson. 

 The strong point about this variety is 

 that it comes in after all the other 

 jiinks are gone, when it sells better 

 liian the finest pinks do earlier. 



The following were the awards on 

 cut blooms of chrysanthemums: 



r..rt,v Mooms, any variet.v, any color — Poclil- 

 iiiaiin Bros. Co., Chicago, first, with Chadwick: 

 .', C. I'ollworth Co., Milwaukee, second, with
