Klehm's Nursery has a lawn carpeted

Rose Day. 



On "Wednesday the rose exhibits came 

 on. The showing was a: remarkable one 

 in view of the condition of rose crops. 

 The display was larger than had been an- 

 ticipated and the quality was excellent. 

 An especially notable feature was the way 

 Richmond outclassed liberty. Peter 

 Keinberg exhibited his new rose which 

 has been named for Mrs. Marshall Field, 

 and John Monson, of the Minneapolis 

 Floral Co., exhibited his light pink seed- 

 ling, which he has just named, Miss Kate 

 Moulton. Both received favorable consid- 

 eration although not entered in competi- 

 tion. The awards on the roses will be 

 found in the report of the judges in this 

 issue. 



Table Decorations. 



The table decorations "Wednesday were 

 put on in the Annex, which goes further 

 to show that the Coliseum of itself is too 

 small for a flower show, instead of being 

 too large. There are five tables. There 

 are no premiiims, but each exhibitor re- 

 ceives a gratuity. The decorations are to 

 be changed daily as usual. The first day: 



Bohannon & Conger had a low center- 

 piece of pink chrysanthemums. 



Frauenfelder had a tall vase on his 

 table, with Appleton chrysanthemums, 

 and pompon chrysanthemums at the base 

 of the vase. 



J. L. Raske used Meteor roses for a 

 low centerpiece, with corsages of violets. 



Mangel had a low mound of small Bon- 

 naffon chrysanthemums. 

 J Friedman's centerpiece was of daisies 

 and adiantum loosely arranged on a mir- 

 ror and interspersed with tiny green in- 

 candescent lights. It attracted much at- 

 tention. 



Each table was, of course, supplied 

 with the usual napery.
