KANSAS CITY, OCT. 26. 



I liave just a moment or two to give 

 you a few Hues. I believe there has 

 never before beeu such a response to any 

 (lower show as we have here today. 

 Entries are crowding me so much that I 

 am worried about what to do with them. 

 The more I fight for third premiums, 

 the surer I feel that it is jiist and riglit 

 to offer them. In several of the classes 

 to date (and I have to await final en- 

 tries for our lirst and second days' en- 

 tries until tomorrow) there are five en- 

 tries, and in no class are there less than 

 three. I am deliglited with the pros- 

 pects of our show and wish it were 

 possible for all my friends to see it. 



Canaries, parrots and fish aquariums 

 are, a.s you know, rather an innovation 

 in flower shows, yet we have quite a 

 number of entries, and life is life, so we 

 shall have birds and fishes any^vay. I 

 desired to get something more than tlie 

 birds and fishes, so I asked Director 

 General Taggart about it and he said 

 "Eats!" I told him Bear and For Bear."

Death of Henty Moore. 



Henry Moore, one of the pioneer llor- 

 i.sts of the south, died October 21. He 

 was a native of Pennsylvania, but when 

 a young man came south. This was 

 before the war, and when the great 

 struggle began he enlisted in a Confed- 

 erate regiment in Mississippi and 

 marched and fought and starved all 

 through the conflict. After the surren- 

 der he came to Memphis and engaged in 

 the florist business. Through a combi- 

 nation of fortunate circumstances, un- 

 tiring energy and a love of his cho.sen 

 profession he amassed a fortune suflS- 

 cient to enable him to retire from busi- 

 ness in 1892. 



He leaves a devoted wife, children and 

 grandchildren. His funeral, under the 

 charge of his brother Odd Fellows, was 

 largely attended and numerous floral of- 

 ferings from those in the trade attested 

 his popularity with his fellow florists.
