The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-09-16

moreover the whole collection offered by
Mr.. Criticized was arranged in too evident
haste.
Mr.. Sunderbruchs smaller and far more
recherche collection was neatness ltseiI'
The pale punches of saffron rose-buds were
relieved by leaf of fern or of rose ger
anium in glass of water; sweet Jessamlne
and heliotrOpe, and mignonette and blue
browlia, and begonia, with their petals OF
wax and carnations and bright hibiscus
and pansies; but why so thorough the hit?
All were neatly and prettily displayed.
Sunderbruch, in his display of flowers shows
the taste that characterizes his floral pieces,
some of which are elegant.
The Cincinnati Floral Company had their
enormous mass of fine flowers arranged
with equal taste. Their spikes of gladolas
were happily massed and those that filled
their vases were mingled with feathery
heads of snowy grasses that produced a
charming effect. Again we were weighed
down with the exquisite display OF roses
great clusters of buds in glasses almost in
terminable. Perhaps their collection was
not greater than that of Mr. Critchell,
but it was better displayed. We we're i'm
pressed that it was greater. Among their
collection we noticed some really superb
perennial pbloxes of strain different from
any we had yet seen begomer of bright
scarlet blossom that we observed many
commenting upon; a new hcliotrope with
petals almost as large as the familiar Tri-
omphe de Siege, but darker and evidently
more persistent, and salvier of
an entirely new strain in color a
deep crimson, snowy both in flower
and especially so in bud. This company
were a little too free with their branches of
busams. We observed the blossoms of
azaleas among their display, and lilies of
the valley, and an excellent cluster of the
clerodendron Balfour, with its white
fower-like calyx and petals like a stain of
blood protruding. On the whole we think
the sentiment of the visitors was almost
universal that the exquisite display of this
company entitled it to the first premium
instead of the second Decidedly, the ex-
tent of this flower show was a surprise to
any one who has been familiar with the
few years. 1t seems scarcely credible that
celence and beauty of this could be accom-
each of those enterprsing firms who COM

compensated with premiums.
