The Weekly Florists' Review.

in a coldframe, or in a pit, shed or 

 cellar, where the sun will not dry up the 

 potB, and should be brought into light 

 as soon as the shoots appear above the 

 ground. The pots would do under a 

 carnation bench; the drip, however, 

 from the benches is not good for the 

 lilies and any place free from drip is 

 much to be preferred. Lay some moss . 

 over the pots if you place them under 

 the benches. This is to prevent the 

 drying of the surface soil. The water 

 supply aflforded lilies should be carefully 

 given until the pots are full of roots.

EDWAED A. FOBTEK. 



E. A. Forter, the recently elected 

 treasurer of the Cincinnati Florists' So- 

 ciety, has been connected with the trade 

 for thirty-two years. He is a son-in-law 

 of the founder of the firm of A. Sunder- 

 bruck's Sons, of which he is now a ^ 

 member. By his genial disposition and 

 his square methods in business dealings, 

 both with his patrons and with his as- 

 sociates in the trade, he has made many 

 friends. The present office is the first 

 elective office he has held in the local 

 society. In the summer of 1909 he was 

 treasurer of the Cincinnati convention 

 committee, and his election shows the 

 club's appreciation of his work in that 

 capacity. 



ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. 



From the florists' point of view, the 

 Illinois State Fair this year was a much 

 greater success than in any previous 

 season. Held at Springfield October 3 

 to 8, the authorities adopted the excel- 

 lent plan of providing for cut flower 

 exhibits to be staged each day. The 

 larger part of the florists' section, in- 

 cluding a full list of roses and carna- 

 tions as well as the pot plants, were 

 staged October 4, and the fuU list of 

 awards was published in The Eeview 

 for October 6. The quality of the stock 

 staged each day was exceptionally fine 

 for so early in the season. The one 

 criticism of the show, the premiums be- 

 ing liberal, was the fact that no atten- 

 tion was paid to attractive staging. 

 Nearly all the exhibits were placed on 

 a cement floor, with a pipe railing to 

 keep the visitors from walking among 

 the flowers. Money spent for artistic 

 arrangement would be a splendid in- 

 vestment, and is to be desired, even if 

 at the expense of appropriation for 

 some other purpose.
