 for tlie groat outdoor flower festival. 

 By Christmas they liope to have 

 tlieir outdoor plants in full bloom. 

 Flowers are plentiful in the west. 

 I saw more flowers in one florists' 

 shop tliero than I have seen in half a 

 dozen flower shops here. They use flow- 

 ers everywhere, in the hotels, in the 

 ri'staurants and in the cafeterias. They 

 grow roses under glass, althougli there is 

 little or no severe weather. I saw fancy 

 Columbia s in one store. Prices secme<l 



to be moderate. I was interested to see 

 th(! oil stoves in the orange groves, to 

 ward off stray light frosts. We came 

 back by way of the Northern I'acitic 

 railroad to see this country and to stop 

 at Hanflf and Lake Louise." 



The Germantown Show. 



The spirit of the Germantown siiow 

 was its most delightful feature. It was 

 the s])irit of comradeship. Men and 

 women, boys and girls, all joined in en- 

 joying the flowers and in having a good 

 time. The auditorium in the Library 

 building in \'ernon park was well tille(l. 

 Fear was exjircssed lest there should 

 not be room for both the au<lience and 



the exhibits, but it seemed to liave been 

 managed quite nicely. The big room 

 was full, but not overcrowded. Taking 

 the audience tirst, the old guard was 

 out to a man. Tlie jiresident, calm and 

 unrnt>led by the excitement of the big 

 meeting, sat near the desk. The secre- 

 tary sliowed a friend an object of spe 

 cial interest. The chairman of the 

 committee on awards introduced a 

 friend whose father kept a flower shoj' 

 op])osite John Wanamaker '.s, years ago. 

 .\nother great man explained to a re- 

 porter the jirinciples of gardening, while 

 the society's advertising manager tells 

 nie there are exhibition! — no, beg jiar 

 don, hundreds of exhibits.
