. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 83G The American Florist. Nov. It, graceful. Another fine lot of varie- gated pineapples was a gem being as uniform as a summer bed in the lawn. These three groups were from the H. A. Dreer, Inc. Numerous groups of single-stemmed chrysanthemum plants in six-inch pots, with their great heads of blooms, were arranged around the foot of the winding arches of the foyer. In the lower hall the Lord & Burnham Co. had erected a small curved roofed greenhouse suitable for the limited space of the city yard. Around this the Henry F. Michell Co. had arranged beds of hardy chrysanthemums in pots, which latter were concealed so as to give a garden effect. "W. Atlee Burpee & Co. staged a fine collection of seed- ling chrysanthemums, single varieties, to show what could be done with their seed in a single season from seed sown in March of the present year. The flowers, mostly in long sprays, were very showy and useful for cutting. Henry F. Michell Co. also exhibited cut blooms of hardy pompon chrys- anthemums, as did the Thos. Meehan & Sons, who made a fine display, backed by fancy evergreens in tubs. H. A. Dreer filled a prettily decorated and electrically lighted booth with floral and garden requisites. Henry F. Michell Co. had also a similar exhibit. H. 'Caterer's entry was garden req- uisites and bulbs, a very full and prettily arranged exhibit. The rose growers were very much interested in several vases of roses staged in this room. A new-comer from the Waban Conservatories, Na- tick, Mass., was the star, a pink as large as an American Beauty, borne on a long, stiff stem, very fragrant, is a wonderfully beautiful rose. It is called Mrs. Charles Russell and looks like a winner. Pennock-Meehan Co. staged for J. A. Budlong & Son Co. of Auburn, R. I., their Killarney Queen and Double White Killarney, both splendid commercial sorts, and as grown by them exceptional in every way. S
