The American Florist. 1036 ural expositions, from that at the World's Fair at Chicago and down, but I never saw as much or as well selected fruit aa here, southern and middle Sweden being especially well represented. The nursery department also was a large affair, Den- mark being the leader here, while all three countries were about even on plants and vegetables.

Poul- sen, Treiner-Lassen, Elsinore and Mathi- asen, Korsoer, shared the honors for nursery stock about evenly and R. Jor- gensen, Copenhagen, took first for a fine group of decorative plants.
