It would be unfair to give a report of this show without say- 

 ing that some of the old favorites held their own with the new 

 creations, and that as yet nothing can replace them in their 

 respective classes. Those among the older timers that deserve 

 this mention are: Crystal, pink cactus; F. W. Fellows, 

 salmon cactus; Attraction, lavender hybrid cactus; Mrs. 

 Carl Salbach, a wonderful pink decorative; Hortulanus 

 Fiet, salmon decorative; Dr. Tevis, Salmon decorative; 

 Yellow King, yellow cactus; Etendard de Lyon, purple 

 cactus; Garibaldi, red peony; The Millionaire, lavender, 

 shaded pink, decorative; King of the Autumn, buff 

 decorative; Nibelungenhart, pink hybrid cactus, 

 one of the best ; Pierrot, amber Cactus with white 

 tips; Tom Lundy, red hybrid cactus of special 

 merit; W. W. Rawson, white show, tipped with lav- 

 ender; John Keer Boreel, orange hybrid cactus.
