lishment, the writer made a pilgrimage 

 to White Marsh, as did many members 

 of the trade. I am sure that everyone 

 who is commercially interested in flow- 

 ers was well rewarded for the trip, as 

 the concern had staged an exhibition to 

 be proud of. The florists could see, from 

 the great crowds of people who jour- 

 neyed the eighteen miles, that the inter- 

 est of the public in flowers is not wan- 

 ing. Indeed, the lawns about this fine old 

 place looked as though there was an au- 

 tomobile show in progress, rather than 

 an exhibition of dahlias. There were 

 about 2,500 people at the exhibition, 

 and on the following day, October 4, 

 which was Governor's day, the largest 

 crowd was expected. The crowd had 

 the run of the entire farm, and it was 

 a sight to see more than 1,000 people, 

 mostly women, walking through the 

 great patches of dahlias in full bloom. 



The exhibition was held in the large 

 packing shed, and E. A. Vincent, under 

 whose supervision it had been arranged, 

 deserves much credit for the artistic way 

 the dahlias were staged. Through the 

 center of the building was a table on 

 which were half barrels filled with some 

 of the finest dahlias I have ever seen. 

 The flowers were arranged with oak 

 foliage, which harmonized nicely with 

 the blooms. Along the sides of the room 

 were set pieces, with large wreaths in 

 the center of each piece, while at each 

 end there was an American flag framed 

 in flowers. Features of the exhibition 

 which attracted much attention were 

 two vases, one containing King of Au- 

 tumn and the other Creation dahlias. 

 Both were all that could be desired, the 

 flowers being large with fine stems and 

 foliage, and from all appearances good 

 keepers. 



Everyone in the trade owes a vote of 

 thanks to this firm for the fine manner 

 in which it keeps the florists' business 

 before the public in Baltimore.
