Eetailers' Work. 



The retailers took the keenest inter- 

 est in the classes for table decorations, 

 baskets and bouquets. The first day 

 the tables were to be decorated with 

 chrysanthemums and there were six 

 entries, Knoble Bros, securing first with 

 the use of yellow pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums, the centerpiece being made in 

 the shape of a tree four feet high, with 

 a base ■ three feet wide, rising to a 

 point ten inches high where it joined 

 the trunk of the tree. The decoration 

 was entirely in yellow. The other ex- 

 hibitors were the .7. M. Gasser Co., A. 

 Graham & Son, Smith & Fetters Co., 

 .fones-Russell Co. and C. M. Wagner. 

 On the day roses were used the table 



decorations were by C, M. Wagner, E. 

 G. Wilson, Jones-Russell Co., J. M. 

 Gasser Co., Knoble Bros., F. W. Griffin 

 and Smith & Fetters Co. On bride's

Chrysanthemum Cut Blooms. 



There was splendid competition in 

 the department for cut blooms of 

 chrysanthemums, and the quality of the 

 stock would be difficult to beat. In 

 addition to the big flowers, there was 

 a fine showing of singles and pompons, 

 and, of course, the trade was interested 

 in the seedlings, of which there were a 

 number of excellent ones. The awards
