MISCELLANEOUS EXHIBITS. 



There were a number of miscellane- 

 ous exhibits provided for by the De- 

 troit Florists' Club independently of 

 the Eose and Carnation Societies. 



J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, staged a 

 large round table of his Glory of Cin- 

 cinnati begonia, plants in small pots but 

 carrying a profusion of large flowers. 

 This begonia steadily is adding to the 

 number of its friends. 



Breltmeyer Floral Co. and H. Pautke 

 exhibited fine vases of Helen Newberry, 

 late white pompon chrysanthemum. 



J. E. Matthewson, Sheboygan, Wis., 

 staged his patented carnation support 

 in several forms. 



The American Blower Co., Detroit, 

 showed the Detroit trap for returning 

 to the boilers the water of condensa- 

 tion. The exhibit was in charge of 

 John Morehead, the inventor of the 

 trap. 



Hubert V. Pearce, Detroit, staged the 

 Pearce return steam trap and boiler 

 feeder. This is a new trap, exhibited 

 for the first time, and just coming on 

 the market in connection with the 

 Pearce system of greenhouse heating. 

 It is the result of Mr. Pearce 's ex- 

 perience as a grower and he had a 

 constant and always interested audi- 

 ence to listen to his explanations and 

 witness his demonstrations. 



C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee, Wis., 

 showed the Common Sense carnation 

 support. 



John Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, N. 

 Y., showed the new yellow calla, Elliot- 

 tiana.
