Flo^wers Tell Time 



Largest Time Piece Ever Built, Designed Entirely in Flowers, is a 

 Floracultural Feature of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition 



' Witli its iiicc'liniiicul li;inic quite Cdii- 

 ccali'd beneatli liciiiitit'ul Howers and 

 vaii -colored loliajjc plants, tlieniamindtli 

 floral clock tliat may he seen at St. Lonis 

 by visitors to the Louisiana Taroliase 

 Kxjxjsition in i;i04, will be liy far the 

 !ar(;est time piece ever c<instvneted. 



The floral elock is immediately iiorlli 

 of the Agricultui-al Building, and to the 

 visitor appears to he made entirely froni 

 contrihntions from the (ioral world. The 

 mechanism of the clock is buried and the 

 hugi' dial, 100 feet in diameter, shows its 

 face si-K inolies above the j^round. The 

 dial, the hands, the minute hand being 

 fifty feel long and moving live feet at eacli 

 miive, and all the frame is so cuvered 

 with flowers as to quite conceal any 

 mechanical contrivances. 



The numerals marking tlie hour are 

 fifteen feet in length and are made of 

 bright colored coleus, a foliage |)lant that 

 grows dense and may he pruned with tlie 

 g.irdener's shears and kej)t symmetrical 

 wilhiiut fe;ir of impairing the growth of 

 the plant. 



In the circle surrounding the numerals 

 are collections of twelve distinct plants, 

 each collection being twenty-flve feet 



long and twelve feet long. Nature has 

 ordained that each of these plants should 

 open its blossom at a certain hour of the 

 day, and the great floral clock shows how 

 the laws of nature are as e.'iact as the 

 mechanieal laws discovere<l by man. .\s 

 the hands of the giant floral clock reach 

 the numeral naming a certain hour the 

 flowers in the great bed at the back of 

 the hour so designated begin to open tlier 

 btida and to exhale the perfume peculiar 

 to the plant. 



Still another mode of computing time 

 will be show n by this immense recorder 

 of time's flight, and this by the primitive 

 hour glass. On the south side of the 

 hour dial, behind the numeral that de- 

 notes midday or midnight, is built a 

 tower, twelve feet square and eighteen 

 feet high. The tower is of wood, and like 

 most o the beautiful structures within 

 the City of Knowledge, is covered with 

 staff. The architecture is graceful and 

 ornate. The top of the tower is sur- 

 mounted witli a mammoth hourglass, 

 made of the heaviest and clearest crystiM 

 with the receptacles for holding the 

 sand, each six feet in length and three 

 feet in diameter, at the base. The hour
