Special Awards. 



There were a number of fine exhibits 

 for which there was no place in the 

 competitive classes and these the 

 judges recognized by the following spe- 

 cial awards: 



To A. N. Plerson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., cer- 

 tificate of merit for Rose Double White Killamey. 



speaker, made a strong plea for the 

 support of the society. Eiehard Vin- 

 cent, Jr., president-elect of the S. A. 

 F., proved by what he saw and heard 

 during his recent travels abroad that 

 the United States will in a short time 

 rank first in floriculture. P. J. Foley 

 patted the florists on the back by tell- 

 ing what good fellows they are, and 

 asked all to come to Chicago in August, 

 1912, to the S. A. F. convention. In a 

 few well chosen words W. E. Pierson 

 explained why the florist's business is 

 more of a profession than a trade and 

 therefore should command the respect 

 of the public at large. 



President H. E. Philpott, of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club, sprung a complete 

 surprise by presenting President Hun- 

 kel, for the Milwaukee Florists' Club, 

 with an ivory gavel ornamented with 

 ribbons and properly inscribed. This 

 was getting even for the silver loving 

 cup the Milwaukeans presented to the 

 Chicago Club last month. Mr. Philpott 

 also urged all to attend the S. A. F. 

 convention in Chicago next year, and 

 promised all ai glorious time.

The Milwaukee Florists' Club in-

 when about ninety sat down to further 

 the feeling of good fellowship and to 

 listen to good talks from well known 

 men. G. C. Pollworth, as toastmaster, 

 bade all a hearty welcome and assured 

 the guests that the Ibcal boys were 

 greatly pleased to have so many trade 

 visitors to the show. George Asmus, 

 president of the S. A. F., as the first 



Harry Balsley called attention to the 

 carnation and rose convention which 

 takes place at Detroit in the early part 

 of next year and asked all to come, 

 -Others who responded were A. C. Kohl-
