The roses were staged on Wednesday and brought out about the keenest com- petition ever seen at a western exhibit, and Chicago shows are noted for the splendid displays of roses. There were not so many entries as usual, but qual- ity was better than ever, and it was nip and tuck in most of the classes. It took the judges most of the afternoon to get through their task.

The program for the rest of the week is as follows: Thursday, carnations, vio- lets, valley, bouquets; Friday, miscel- laneous plants, private gardeners' classes, seedling mums and seedling carnations, second display of American Beauty roses; aaturday, floral arrangements in baskets; Surday, closing day. The lectures on gardening are handi- capped by the fact that there is no place to hold them except in the hall in the second story of the annex—not easy to find, even when one is looking for it, and possessed of unusually poor acoustics. But the lectures are a popular feature. The speakers are C. B. Whitnall, E. G. Routzahn, J. C; Blair, Frederic Crane- fiehl, a National Cash Register man, and Miss Sipe, the latter announced to talk to school teachers and pupils on Satur- day. The subjects concern amateur gar- dening. The Illinois State Florists' Associa- tion holds a meeting today. So does the S. A. F. executive board and the Na- tional Council of Horticulture. The Flo- rists' Club meets tonight before the ban- quet.
