 Flower Show 



OF 1901 WAS THE GREAT- 

 EST SUCCESS EVER KNOWN 

 IN FLOWER SHOW HISTORY 



IHE Kansas City Flower Show was built in less than 60 

 days in the face of statements of people posted in flower 

 shows that it would take two years to build it. The 

 Kansas City Flower Show broke every record in every way. It 

 kept every promise, it offered the biggest premiums, it paid every 

 award dollar for dollar, and it paid them all the day the show 

 closed. It had paid admissions of over 52,000. It gave every vis- 

 itor more than his money's worth. It didn't have a protest filed. 

 The exhibitors who were here in 1 90 1 all voluntarily promised to 

 be here in 1902. Uncle John Thorpe, who was in a greater meas- 

 ure than any other man responsible for the success of the Show 

 last year, will be the Superintendent in 1902. F. J. Taggart, a 

 member of the Board of Directors of Convention Hall, who was 

 Director General last year, will be D. G. this year. A thousand 

 prominent business men who backed this Show with their time, 

 money, and influence last year, will push it along this year. 



THE DATES OF THE FLOWER SHOW THIS 

 YEAR WILL BE, NOV. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 



The 1902 premiums will be bigger — the show will be bigger and 

 better — the interest deeper. Schedule in a short time. 



F. J. TAGGART, 



DIRECTOR GENERAL. 



JOHN THORPE. 



SUPERINTENDENT.
