Table of Cattleyas Staged at the Chicigo Spring Show by Charles J. Bond, Naperville, IIL 



class calling for 100 white, and there 

 was nearly another whole day in which 

 to receive additional entries. None of 

 the other classes had so many entries 

 as the class for white, but there were 

 eight entries in the class for red, seven 

 in the one for light pink, six in the one 

 for flesh pink, five in the one for dark 

 pink, and three in the class for varie- 

 gated. The only classes which had not 

 filled well on Tuesday, two days before 

 staging, were those for crimson and for 

 yellow variegated, in which there were 

 no entries at all at that time. With 

 the quality of all the stock averaging as 

 well as it does at present an interesting 

 competition is expected. 



Baur & Smith, of Indianapolis, were 

 on hand Wednesday with a fine vase of 

 St. Nicholas, the new Christmas red 

 carnation, and received many compli- 

 ments on the color as well as on the 

 quality of the flowers. Mr. Baur 

 brought for A. Pettit, of Indianapolis, 

 a vase of a Spencer sweet pea that was 

 from vines that have been flowering 

 since October. The color is a pleasing 

 rose pink and the name is Rose Queen. 

 The flowers were fine.
