MTLWAUKEi:. 



That a good, first-class flower show 

 is a great drawing card when properly 

 advertised was demonstrated at this, 

 the second annual flower show of the 

 Milwaukee Florists' Club, held No- 

 vember 9 to 13, at the Auditorium. It 

 was a show of which each member of 

 the local craft could justly be proud. 

 The arrangement, which represented a 

 forest . in its autumn glory, with a 

 waterfall and a running brook, was 

 complete in every detail, due to the 

 untiring energy of the chairman, H. V. 

 Hunkel, and August F. Kellner, ably 

 assisted by the other members of the 

 executive committee, C. Dallwig, J. G. 

 Heitman, William Zimmermann, Arthur 

 Leidiger, C. C. Pollworth, Nic Zweifel 

 and a force of willing and loyal assist- 

 ants. While it took several weeks of 

 work to get the large trees and other 

 paraphernalia to the hall, it was a still 

 larger task to get everything in shape 

 and place in the short time of two and 

 one-half days and two nights. Here 

 it was clearly demonstrated that expe- 

 rience is - the best teacher, for, with 

 the experience gained at last year's 

 show, everything, under the supervi- 

 sion of H. V. Hunkel and August 

 F. Kellner, seemed to run in a more 

 systematic way, thus saving an enor- 

 mous lot of time and extra expense. 



The setting of the show included an 

 artistic group of pines, from the midst 

 of which burst the waterfall, which 

 was as true to nature as any one could 

 desire and was one of the most ad- 

 mired points in the show. The right 

 side of the stage represented a hill- 

 side wooded with pine trees, and in 

 front of this were two tall oak trees 

 covejffd with wild smilax almost to the 

 C/Oil^g- Farther back geveral birches, 

 with their light bark, ahA two magno- 

 lia trees, green with foliage, helped to 

 give the hall the desired effect. 



Winding throughout was the brook. 



spanned by five rustic bridges and 

 edged with sod, and an apple tree, 

 which was leaved with wild smilax and 

 had a beautiful chrysanthemum group 

 around its base, also came in for a 

 share of the favorable comment. 

 Seven tables set with djnner decora- 

 tions, but not for competition, were 

 placed in various locations under the 

 trees and on the sod, and gave the im- 

 pression of a fashionable lawn party. 



In touching upon the exhibits it can 

 be said that it was a local show, un- 

 doubtedly due to the fact that four 

 other large fall shows were being held 

 on the same days. Last year many 

 mums, both cut and in pots, came from 

 Chicago and vicinity; they were absent 

 this year and the displays of some 

 eastern firms were also missing. But 

 the local boys had the right spirit, and, 

 with nearly everyone contributing, the 

 whole show was a grand success — more 

 so than last year. 



The palm and other groups, which 

 were plentiful and of good quality, 

 helped to comfortably fill the main 

 floor, and the stage was used for the 

 different classes of cut blooms. Here, 

 too, it was proven that the Milwaukee 

 growers are not behind in producing 

 the quality of stock which formerly 

 had to be looked for from outsiders. 

 Thus the second annual flower show 

 of the Milwaukee Florists' Club has 

 established a reputation which will be 

 a great help for years to come. 



Elmer D. Smith & Co., of Adrian, 

 Mich., who exhibited cut mums, 

 showed what fine quality can be at- 

 tained by specializing. 



The Fox Point Floral Co., of Mil- 

 waukee, exhibited cyclamens which 

 were exceptionally fine and an eye- 

 opener to some of the craft. 



Julius Koehrs Co.j ._of Btttherford, 

 N. J., had a neat group of fine orna- 

 mental plants. 



J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, O., had
