MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Minnesota State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation held at Minneapolis, November 

 9 to 14, the most successful flower show 

 in the history of the trade in the north- 

 west, so successful, in fact, that it was 

 held open one day longer than planned, 

 running through Monday. The arrange- 

 ment in the big armory was excellent. 

 A. J,, Smith was manager and the deco- 

 rating committee was William Des- 

 mond, H. Will and C. F. Rice. The 

 bhow committee was: Theodore Wirth, 

 chairman; 0. C. Swanson, H. Will, E. 

 Nagel, C. N. Ruedlinger, E. C. Hughart, 

 Charles Vasatka, William Desmond, 

 Hans Rosacker, J. P. Jorgensen, C. F. 

 Rice, A. J, Smith, William Holmes. 



The show was fortunate in having 

 the active participation of the leading 

 retail florists of St. Paul and Minneapo- 

 lis. O. C. Swanson, the Chapman-Dillin 

 Co., Minneapolis Floral Co., H. Kosacker, 

 L. S. Donaldson Co. and Holm & Olson, 

 L. L. May & Co., and others put up 

 splendid work in the classes for tables, 

 bouquets, baskets and other retail 

 stock, also staging many attractive 

 things for exhibition only. 



The roses attracted as much atten- 

 tion as anything in the show. On 100 

 Beauties, Holm & Olson were first,

and L. L. May & Co. put up one named 

 Apricot. _, . ^ ,

 for carnations, and the premiums were 

 well distributed. In cut mums H. W.

 Co., and others. Donaldson, SWanson 

 and Holm & Olson were the principal 

 exhibitors of decorative plants.

 F. W. Plummer, of Kewanee, 111.

' LAKE GENEVA, WIS. ■ 



The sixth annual chrysanthemum ex- 

 hibition of the Lake Geneva Gardeners' 

 and Foremen's Association, November 7 

 and 8, was a pronounced success. The 

 quality of the exhibits was far ahead 

 of any other year. The large blooms of 

 mums, such as Dr. Enguehard, Mrs. 

 Weeks, Yellow Eaton, Golden Pome, 

 Timothy Eaton, Colonel Appleton, Major 

 Bonnaffon and many others, were the 

 best that ever were exhibited at Lake 

 Geneva. The specimen chrysanthemum 

 plants were one of the chief attractions 

 of the show. A large single variety, 

 Catherine Livingston, which is a prod- 

 uct of Lake Geneva, was shown by 

 A. J. Smith, the plant measuring eight- 

 een feet in circumference. The large 

 groups of chrysanthemums, with palms 

 and ferns included, were a great at- 

 traction, A. J. Smith, gardener to J. J. 

 Mitchell, winning first, and Joseph 

 Krupa, gardener to N. W. Harris, sec- 

 ond; Axel Johnson, gardener to R. T. 

 Crane, third. William F. Longland,. 

 gardener to C. L. Hutchinson, showed 

 two creditable groups of anemones and 

 pompons. The groups for single flower- 

 ing varieties were keenly competed for, 

 with Smith and Longland carrying oflf 

 the honors. A splendid specimen plant 

 of Fieus Parcelli was shown by A. J. 

 Smith. Joseph Krupa coming a close 

 second with a perfectly grown plant of 

 Dieffenbachia magnifica. The groups of 

 foliage plants were specially good. The 

 roses, carnations and other exhibits 

 were excellent. The vegetable collec- 

 tions surpassed anything shown here 

 before. The Boddington prizes were 

 won by Robert Sampson, A. J. Smith, 

 Joseph Krupa. The Vaughan prizes for 

 vegetables were won by Joseph Krupa, 

 A. J. Smith and Robert Sampson. 

 William Currie, of Milwaukee, and 

 Mr. Blackwood, of Lake Geneva, acted 

 as judges. 



The society's annual banquet was 

 held on the evening of November 7, at 

 the Y. M. C. A., where 125 guests as- 

 sembled. The chief speakers were 

 Frederick Cranefield, Madison; W. Cur- 

 ne and A. J. Smith. Frank Higgins 

 acted as toastmaster.
