Bassett & Washburn's. First Prize 100 Beauties, Photographed 48 Hours After Sta([ing. 



The crimson seedling carnation exhib- 

 ited by Mt. Greenwood Cemetery Asso- 

 ciation as 2807A and which won the 

 medal and sweepstakes, has been named 

 Mrs. A. E. McCrea. 



The exhibitors did not capture quite 

 so large a percentage of the premiums 

 this year as usual. Of the $4,959 car- 

 ried by the schedule, $3,629 was award- 

 ed, plus the retailers' gratuities and the 

 medals, but the sum was nearly a third 

 more than was awarded last year, many 

 of the premiums having been increased. 



The prizes, aggregating $100, donated 

 by the Chicago Florists' Club, for col- 

 lections of cut orchid blooms, were not 

 competed for.

The showing of carnations November 

 10 was exceptionally large and the stock 

 was of high quality throughout. How 

 uniform' the quality was is shown by

 was meager. Charles Knopf Floral Co.,

 medal for best white, with Cynthia. In 

 the same class E. G. Hill Co. showed 

 White May Day. The medal for best 

 red went to the E. G. Hill Co. for Mrs. 

 Beckwith. The medal for flesh pink 

 went to Mt. Greenwood Cemetery for 

 Greenwood. The medal for crimson went 

 to Mt. Greenwood Cemetery for No. 

 2807A, crimson, which also was awarded 

 the sweepstakes as the best variety ex- 

 hibited in the seedling classes. 



New Chrysanthemums. 



The classes for seedlings, sports and 

 undisseminated importations among 

 mums brought out a better showing 

 than usual, so far as numbers go, but 

 nothing of trunscendent quality. H. Wr
