An Odd Display. 



Tuesday was carnation and chrysan- 

 themum day and the roof garden, where 

 these exhibits were, was the most popu- 

 lar place in the hall. Tlie roof garden 

 had been very attractively arranged, and 

 the display of chrysanthemums extended 

 along the entire length of the east and 

 west sides of the hall. The beams had 

 been covered with southern smilax and 

 the flowers were shown on a sloping bank 

 of moss, with the bottles hidden in same 

 and holding one flower in each, said to be 

 the English style of exhibiting. 



The exhibit, containing one bloom each 

 of almost every known variety, was a 

 collection of curiosities. The growers 

 seemed to have done their best to pre- 

 sent the most freakish looking specimens 

 they could produce and some of them 

 were so ugly that they attracted more 

 attention than the pretty ones. Each 

 flower seemed to vie with the others in 

 being original. There were mums of va- 

 rious degrees of regularity and those 

 of every shade of pink, red, yellow and 

 lavender. 



Perhaps the one flower that attracted 

 more attention than any other was a

 length and as fine as string, of a yellow 

 and orange color. It was called the 

 Golden Shower, and resembled a minia- 

 ture shock of red hair more than any- 

 thing else. There were several varieties 

 which were almost perfect balls, and sev- 

 eral that were as flat as sunflowers and 

 looked like great daisies. Following ai-e
