Each of these noted growers showed in his very best form, and that is sufficient to say. The bells were perfect, on long stems, and the foliage was all that could be desired.

. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 854 The American F^lorist. Nov. 16, class one did not envy the judges their task of deciding the splendid flowers put up by August Jurgens and the Poehl- niann Brothers Co. Each of these noted growers showed in his very best form, and that is sufficient to say. The bells were perfect, on long stems, and the foliage was all that could be desired. The violets were large and beautifully fresh, the first prize exhibit being es- pecially tastefully arranged. Some beautiful carnations were shown in the sweepstake classes, in which -W. N. Rudd won with his new seedling. This grower's Sincerity was very fine, and there was a grand vase of Lucille from Fritz Bahr. Highland Park, 111. Anton Then, of Chicago, also had some pretty seedlings. \. C. Canfield, Spring- lield. III., showed Snowdrift, a pure white, and R. Witterstaetter, Afterglow. Winona, a pretty pink, John Dorner & Son, LaFayette, Ind., was also much ad • mired. In the class for 100 American Beauty roses shown for effect, Julius Schnapp's first prize bunch was finely ley, a parasol of pink roses and a bas- ket of sweet peas were his choice. The same exhibitors scored in the classes for baskets of roses and carnations, the first prize basket of the latter being beauti- fully done and consisting of Killarney roses tied with pink ribbon. Great credit is due H. J. Stockmans for the excellent plan which was carried out in the arrangement of the hall. Looking from the balconies above, the lines of the beds could be distinctly seen, and the design was a good one, with true curves and sweeps and well bal- anced lines, rather than a lot of mean- ingless curves such as are often indulged in. Mr. Stockmans has had plenty of experience in this work, having been formerly connected with the landscape department of Vaughan's Seed Store, and more lately with Jens Jensen, super- intendent of the Chicago west side parks.
