 any red varletles^Jones-Russell Co.. first. 



Twenty- sprays Rosa rugosa or rugosa hybrids — 

 Woodside Farm, second; no first awarded. 



Plants and Cut Flowers. 



Decorative stock for competition was 

 not much in evidence. The city of 

 Cleveland sent several loads of palms 

 from the park greenhouses, which helped 

 out wonderfully in beautifying the hall. 



The ferns shown by Hart . Bros., 

 Cleveland, were without a doubt the 

 finest ever seen in a local exhibition. 

 One specimen Boston fern and another 

 of the Harris type of Boston were fully 

 ten feet across and were wonderfully 

 well finished. The other twelve plants 

 in their collection were in 10-inch pots 

 and measured six feet from tip to tip. 



The class calling for twelve gloxinias 

 brought out four entries and the com- 

 petition was keen between Hart Bros., 

 Robert Weekes and the city gardeners. 

 Tuberous-rooted begonias, fancy-leaved 

 caladiums, Adiantum Farleyensie and 

 Rex begonias were shown in fine shape. 

 The hydrangeas of Hart Bros, and John 

 Leuschner, in 20-inch tubs, were a fea- 

 ture of the show. A group of schizan- 

 thus and another of spiraea staged by 

 the city's greenhouses attracted much 

 attention.

 Brighton, Pa., had a display of its fa- 

 miliar red pots, in charge of W. H. 

 Elverson and F. W. Elverson.

 ester, N. Y.; Martin Kohankie, Painev. 

 -ville, G. ; John Merkel, Mentor, O.,' and 

 George W, Smith, Cleveland. 



Outside of the opening night, the at- 

 tendance was light. Saturday night,. 

 when the management expected to 

 crowd the hall, there were only a hand- 

 ful of people present, showing) so many 

 >jj)8ervers thought, that a flower show 

 i« June, when outdoor flowers and 

 amusement parks are in full bloom, is 

 not so popular as a show in the 

 autumn. The stock held up well for 

 the three days. 



The Ohio Gladiolus Society held a 

 meeting during the week. A gladiolus 

 exhibition, to be held in Cleveland dur- 

 ing the summer, is under consideration..
