Spring Flower Show. 



The exposition authorities, as well 

 as members of the Pacific Coast Horti- 

 cultural Society, who had charge of the 

 spring flower show, which ended March 

 21, express themselves as extremely well 

 satisfied with the results. Seldom, if 

 ever, has a larger or more representa- 

 tive lot of flower exhibits been brought 

 together in this city at this time of 

 year, and the attendance was even 

 larger Saturday and Sunday than on the 

 openipg day, the bright, warm weather 

 being highly in favor of attendance, if 

 a little hard on the cut flower exhibits. 

 Mrs. Darbee's prize-winning violet ex- 

 hibit attracted much attention. A large 

 crowd was present Saturday evening, 

 March 20, which was the first day any 

 of the exposition palaces have been 

 open after 6 p. m. The judges for plants 

 and cut flowers were: F. Pelicano, J. 

 Baldocchi, Chas. Mitchell, A. 0. Stein, 

 Otto Stein and Sidney Clack; the judges 

 for the retailers' work were ladies from 

 points around the bay who are inter- 

 ested in flowers and gardening. The 

 Jiwards were as follows:
