ROCHESTER EXPOSITION SHOW. 



Attracting Great Crowds. 



The annual exposition and flower 

 show at Rochester, N. Y., was opened 

 Labor day, with perfect weather. Thou- 

 sands of people passed through the gate 

 and by noon the grounds were prac- 

 tically filled. Never have the grounds 

 been in better condition than this year. 

 On entering the peristyle one is charmed 

 with the wonderful reproduction of a 

 woodland waterfall. With a natural 

 background of arbor-vita^, the waiter is 

 seen tumbling onto logs and rocks on 

 w^hich moss and small trees are growing. 

 Surrounding the pool is a quantity of 

 ferns and aquatic plants. Near the 

 main entrance to the auditorium are 

 two immense boxes covered with bark 

 and filled with asters. Looking towards 

 tlie band stand is vi handsome bed of 

 Celosia cristata, undoubtedly the finest 

 ever seen in Rochester and contributed 

 by Hans Moller, a landscape architect 

 of Pittsford, N. Y., who also has a beau- 

 tiful display in Floral hall. Near the 

 peristyle is another lily pond surrounded 

 by rocks and tall draca^nas. 



Floral hall is beautifully decorated

Increase 

 Your Profits 



Stop the losses from withered 

 flowers due to lack of preservation. 

 If you could sell all the blossoms 

 that now wither in stock and are 

 thrown away, think how much you 

 could increase your profits. 



You can do just that with a 



Florist 



Refrigerator 



The McCray patented system of 

 refrigeration maintains a cool, even 

 temperature and keeps your flowers 

 always fresh and salable. Your 

 losses from withered stock are done 

 away with. 



The McCray is handsome, too, 

 and its plate glass doors and sides 

 display your flowers in the most 

 attractive way. 



The woodwork may be had in 

 any finish to match your store's in- 

 terior decoration. The linings may 

 be either heavy plate mirror or 

 white enamel as you desire.
