There "were superb Marie Louise vio- lets from Watertown, Wis., and the Easter lilies were so uniformly good that the best the judges could do was to split the money equally between the four exhibitors.

Hardly ever is there so comprehensive a showing of the kind of plants the visitor can find on sale in any flower store. The palms and ferns were fine commercial stock and the displays were all local except three groups from Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, one of araucarias, one of Phcenix Boebelenii and one of Cocos Weddelliana, the lat- ter two including all sizes. There were groups of palms from five exhibitors, including Holton & Hunkel Co., Edlef- sen-Leidiger Co., Currie Bros. Co., A. F. Kellner Co. and Jacob Freytag. Groups of ferns were even more numerous and included some specially well arranged lots of Boston and its sports from Pollworth and Holton & Hunkel and some excellent Cibotium Schiedei from Currie Bros. Co. Groups of araucarias were shown by Pollworth, Holton & Hunkel, Edlefsen-Leidiger, Currie and Jacob Freytag. In flowering plants, geraniums were particularly well shown; Heitman & Baerman, Plocienniczak Bros., Walter H. Hummel & Co., Thomas Griebler and Otto H. Eggebrecht all had good groups. There were three good lots of cyclamens, from Carl Meier, Fox Point Floral Co. and Charles Kitzerow. Begonias were notably numerous. J. E. Matthewson, Sheboygan, included La Patrie in his lot, but all the others were Lorraine type. The exhibitors in- eluded J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, Fred Vogel, Jr., C. C. Pollworth Co., Jacob Freytag and Plocienniczak Bros. The following were the awards on palms, ferns and miscellanpous plants: Boston fern—Holton & Hunkel Co., Milwaukee first; C. C.
