The Weekly Florists' Review.

opening through which the stem of the 

 plant protrudes. The number 15 on 

 each side indicates the openings for the 

 injection of water, which occupies the 

 spaces marked 10, whence it is fed slow- 

 ly to the soil in the pot. The water 

 seeps through the soil of the pot, any 

 surplus finding exit through the drain- 

 age hole and falling into a catchbasin, 

 which occupies the lower part of the 

 container. The device is made orna- 

 mental and attractive in character 

 through various embellishments. 



It is not authoritatively known what 

 Mr. Elberfield intends doing with his in- 

 vention, but it is reported that he in- 

 tends to form a corporation to manufac- 

 ture these pots as soon as the necessary 

 arrangements can be completed. 



ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. 



The authorities of the Illinois State 

 Fair offered generous premiums for cut 

 flowers, designs and pot plants this 

 year, bringing out the best display ever 

 seen in central Illinois. There were 

 four "premiums in most classes and on 

 the opening day, October 4, nearly all 

 the money was taken down. The cut 

 roses, carnations and chrysanthemums 

 made a most creditable showing. The 

 retail florists' design section was a 

 specially attractive feature and the 

 table decorations were better than ever 

 before. The following are the awards

Albany, N. Y. — Interest in the seoond 

 annual flower show of the Albany Flo- 

 rists' Club, to be held in the state ar- 

 mory, November 10 to 12, is steadily in- 

 creasing. At a recent meeting of the 

 society, Wm, C. Gloeckner reported that 

 he had interviewed some of the officers 

 of the Chamber of Commerce, and that 

 steps would be taken by that organi- 

 zation to provide a cup which would be 

 known as the Albany Chamber of Com- 

 merce trophy, to be awarded as would 

 be decided later. John A. Howe, Jr., 

 was added to the music committee.
