sold and where visitors rest and look 

 over the fields of flowers while seated. 

 The flower booth is simple, yet attrac- 

 tive, a good-sized canvas bootl^with a 

 counter across the center. On one side 

 are the ladies who are selling the flow- 

 ers; on the other, the visitors who are 

 buying. On the counter are the 

 dahlias. No wonder the people linger 

 in the doorway of the tent to enjoy the 

 beauty within. It is a temptation to 

 describe the matrons and the maids, 

 their faces alive with interest, but this 

 is a flower show, so the flowers take 

 precedence. The flowers are chiefly 

 dahlias, displayed, for the most part, 

 in vases, a single variety in a vase. 

 They are shown in what may be de- 

 scribed as American style, with long 

 stems, displaying buds and a wealth of 

 foliage with the bloom. The effect is 

 pleasing. 



The history of this flower booth is 

 iiiteresting. Last year every visitor to 

 the Riverview dahlia show of Henry A. 

 lireer, Inc.. was presented with a box 

 of dahlia8.'"'They were intended to en- 

 courage a love for flowers among those, 

 usually from a distance, who had come 

 with the idea of learning more about 

 varieties and their cultivation. The re- 

 sult was not wholly satisfactory. Many 

 of the boxes of dahlias fell into the 

 hands of the townspeople, whose aim 

 was to get whatever could be had for 

 nothing, caring not a rap for choice 

 flowers or their culture. So this year 

 a new plan is being tried. A lady of 

 philanthropic, as well as floral tastes, 

 who is described by no less a personage 

 than Herbert G. Tull as being a 

 hustler, has organized a committee of 

 ladies to sell the flowers. Henry A. 

 Dreer, Inc., gave all the flowers to this 

 committee of ladies. The ladies sell 

 all the flowers they can. The proceeds 

 all go to the Martha Washington Me- 

 morial, at Valley Forge. The Dreers 

 did not select the object of their gener- 

 osity. Thpy said please let it be non- 

 sectarian and non-political. The ladies 

 decided it should be ultra-patriotic. 



The center of activity is the service 

 shed. Three long tables laden with 

 flowers run its entire length. Palms and 

 foliage add to the decorative effect. 

 "While dahlias form the main portion of 

 the exhibition, all the flowers now in 

 bloom on the farm are shown, bulbous, 

 annual, biennial, perennial — and, here
