MARSHAL, TEXAS. 



Our "mum" show, which was held on 

 the 7th and 8th (one week earlier than 

 the advertised date, owing to the for- 

 wardness of the flowers) was a grand 

 success in every way. ^Vllile the East 

 Texas Floral Association is composed 

 largely of amateurs, the quality and 

 quantity of the exhibits would have 

 done credit to a prot"cs~i..iial cNliil.ition. 

 and when you take inl.. . .ai-iil.i al ion 

 that the flowers were uliwii uiu^i.lc it 

 surely gives great credit to the growers 

 and the association. 



Large quantities of superb single 

 steins in all colors were shown: Silver

 Maii.l D.aii. Mi-. I'.iiiii. \li~, II. I;.il,in-

 s.irts were sh..«n in ImiIIi bii^li and single 

 stem pot plants, and al.so as cut flowers: 

 many flowers were shown that measured 

 over n inches in diameter.

 at night. Large banks of palms and 

 ferns made a (lelightful background for 

 the excellent display of chrysanthe- 

 mums. While the cliVvsanthemum was 



Ma 



shown : Kaiserin, Perle, Bride, ilaid. 

 Golden Gate. Pres. Cleveland. Meteor. 

 American Beauty. M. Guillot, jVIarechal 

 Niel, Sunrise and LaFrance being in the 

 lead as to quantity, but many of the 

 newer sorts were shown in smaller 

 I quantities. 



One of the most attractive features 

 was the eight afternoon reception tables, 

 all of which were well worthy of a prize, 

 but only two prizes were offered for 

 tables and it took close judging, so close 

 was the competition. 



The attendance was large and the mu- 

 sic, both vocal and instrumental, was 

 fully enjoyed. 



Mr. F. VV. Beach, of Dallas, was the 

 judge, and so well was his work per- 

 formed that we shall hope to see him 

 with us again next year. B.
