freshly cut, but as the Editor is a re- 
frigerating engineer and has a cooler 
available, naturally he likes to employ 
it in connection with his flower grow- 
ing. Also, without a cooler it would 
not have been possible for him to have 
staged nearly one thousand spikes as 
he did at the Buffalo show. Among 
the best varieties represented in the 
Editor’s collection were Purple Glory, 
Myrtle, Mrs. Dr. Norton, Schwaben, 
Pink Perfection, Goliath, Cardisun, Her- 
ada, Evelyn Kirtland, Crimson Gloiv, 
Mrs. G. W. Moulton and Madam Mou- 
net Sully. 
The display of seedlings was unusu- 
ally fine, W. E. Kirchhoff, Pembroke, 
N. Y., having a fine collection and also 
making a fine display of a large num- 
ber of varieties. Jacob Thomann & 
Sons, Rochester, N. Y., were also pres- 
ent with their collection of beautiful 
seedlings and occupied a prominent 
position in the hall. 
C. Zeestraten, of Bemus Point, N. Y., 
being located near Buffalo, was able 
to stage some very beautiful stock in 
fine, fresh condition and was given an 
award of merit for general display of 
fine stock. 
In the Grullemans Co.’s exhibit was 
noted a new Primulinus variety. Gen- 
eral Pershing, a lavender, with a yellow 
throat. 
The seedling never before exhibited 
which won the silver medal for John 
Scheepers & Co., was a perfect spike of 
very light flesh pink, growing slightly 
darker towards the ends of the flower 
petals. The bronze medal in this class 
was carried off by a beautiful pink 
variety. 
The Scheepers’ seedling that carried 
off the Burpee trophy was a remark- 
ably fine specimen, consisting of six 
spikes of a delicate silky white, suf- 
fused light pink toward the end of the 
flower petal. The seedling was named 
Miss Edith Cavell. 
The Austin-Coleman Co., Wayland, 
Ohio, showed an excellent pure white 
seedling, which received an award of 
merit. This variety would have won 
the society’s silver medal except for the 
fact that it had been shown elsewhere. 
The judges commented especially on 
the quality of the Primulinus Hybrids 
shown. Those displayed at the flower 
shows seem to be improving from year 
to year and it is expected that some 
very beautiful Primulinus Hybrids are 
yet to be developed. 
The Editor regrets that owing to the 
sustained exertion necessary to the 
staging of such a large number of 
flowers in so many different classes 
that he was unable during the short 
time that he was in attendance at the 
show to make notes of the winning 
varieties and observations on the ex- 
hibits, and what is reported above is 
partly extracted from the trade paper 
reports of the show. Those who can- 
not attend the flower shows like to 
know what varieties are winners and 
besides they have a right to know. 
We promise ourself each year that 
we will make it a point to report next 
year’s show in better shape, but when 
show time comes we seem to find our- 
self in the same condition.
