HERE AND THERE AT THE 

 FLOWER SHOW. 



Newspaper publicity for the show 

 was handled by Mrs. Ella Grant Wil- 

 son. 



John D. Rockefeller was an ex- 

 hibitor, sending a hibiscus, a native 

 Hawaiian plant. 



"Happiness" was the title of a 

 beautiful brochure distributed at the 

 stand of the Jones-Russell Co. 



William G. Mather, president of the 

 Ohio Horticultural Society and execu- 

 tive chairman of the Flower Show, 

 awarded the prizes. 



Cut flowers were sold at the booth 

 of the Women's Florist Club of Cleve- 

 land. Jlembers of the club took turns 

 serving the public. 



Two features of A. N. Pierson, Inc., 

 were the new Mrs. Henry Winnett 

 rose, and a new chrysanthemum 

 "Elizabeth Firestone." 



Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, 

 gave the name of "Betsy Ross " to a 

 new white chrysanthemum grown and 

 exhibited by Elmer D. Smith of Adrain, 

 .Mich. 



H. S. Firestone, who won the Corri- 

 gan Cup, for the best chrysanthemums 

 from private growers, is president of 

 the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 

 Akron, O. 



"Joan of Arc" was the name chosen 

 by President Woodrow Wilson for a 

 new French chrysanthemum with long 

 petals. It was imported and exhibited 

 by Charles H. Totty. 



James Moore, supervisor of Phipps 

 Conservatory and North Side Park, 

 Pittsburgh, returned home Friday 

 evening, to prepare for his annual ex- 

 hibition of chrysanthemums. 



"Barbara Davis" was the name given 

 by Mayor Harry L. Davis of Cleveland 

 to a new bronze chrysanthemum ex- 

 hibited by the J. M. Gasser Co. Mayor 

 Davis was one of the donors of prizes. 



Downtown florists made good use of 

 their windows to advertise the show. 

 The J. M. Gasser Co. exhibited its 

 Barbara Davis chrysanthemum in its 

 window on Euclid Avenue. Other 

 prize winning flowers were borrowed 

 by downtown stores. Knoble Bros, 

 mentioned the Flower Show in its 

 newspaper advertising. 



The feature of Saturday at the show 

 was the judging of decorated tables 

 by private gardeners. These tables 

 had attracted great attention through- 

 out the week. The silver medal was 

 won by the table of Miss Catherine D. 

 Holden, Robert Weeks, gardener. It 

 was simply but tastefully adorned with 

 a centerpiece of orchids. 



When Philip J. Foley, of Chicago, 

 came to register at the Armory he was 

 nonplussed to see his well known 

 signature on the book just where he 

 Intended to write. He thought some- 

 one was playing a joke on him until 

 he learned that he was the first one to 

 register this year and had been the 

 last one to register last year. 



Miss Elizabeth Climo and Miss 

 Mariette Chandler presided at the Red 

 Cro.ss booth at the Flower Show. 

 Potted plants and ferns were donated 

 by individuals and firms throughout 

 the city and sold by the young ladies 

 for the benefit of the Comfort Kit 

 fund. The committee plans to send 

 15,000 kits to the boys in France. 



The Pittsburgh delegation, headed 

 by Ernest Guter, arrived 25 to 30 

 strong and took the Chrysanthemum 

 Society by storm, capturing the 

 chrysanthemum show for Pittsburgh 

 next year. Mr. Guter was elected vice- 

 president of the society. All other 

 officers were re-elected. Mr. Guter is 

 private gardener for R. B. Mellon. 



Mrs. A. J. Heil and Mrs. Arthur 

 Black, presided at the F. T. D. booth 

 and gave out printed slips explaining 

 the delivery. C. E. Russell was in 

 charge of the F. T. D. exhibit. The 

 huge billboard, advertising the F. T. 

 D., which was to have occupied one 

 end of the armory was placed beside 

 the sidewalk outside of the armory at 

 the last minute. It was thought a 

 better effect could be produced by re- 

 placing it with a mammoth American 

 flag. — 



As in previous years the Flower 

 Show was advertised to downtown 

 Cleveland by means of signs and 

 arrows on the poles along the main 

 thoroughfares. The poles were covered 

 with bark to simulate trees with a 

 cluster of foliage above. On each tree 

 thus made was a wooden arrow point- 

 ing in the direction of Grays Armory 

 bearing the legend, "To Flower Show 

 —Grays Armory, Nov. 8-11." The show 

 was thus advertised to Clevelanders 

 and visitors from out-of-town had no 

 difficulty.
