Rose Day. 



On Wednesday the ro.se exl!ii)its came 

 on. The showing was a rernarkalile one 

 in view of tlie condition of rose crops. 

 The display was larger than had been an- 

 ticipated and the (|uality was excellent. 

 An especially notable feature was the way 

 Richmond outclassed Liberty. Peter 

 Reinberg 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. Pxith i-eci'ivfd favoraljle consid-

 issue. 



Table Decorations. 



The table decorations Wednesday were 

 put on in the Annex, which goes further 

 to .'-how that the Coliseum of itself is too 

 small for a flower show, instead of being 

 too large. There are five tables. There 

 are no premiums, but each exhibitor re- 

 '•eives a gratuity. The decorations are to 

 be changed daily as usual. The first day: 



Hohannoii & Conger ha<l a low center- 

 I'iece of j)ink chrysanthemums. 



Frauenf elder had a tall vase on his 

 table, with Appleton chrysanthemums, 

 and pompon chrysanthemums at the base 

 of the vase. 



.1. ]j. Raskc used Meteor roses for a 

 low centerpiece, with corsages of violets. 



]\rangcl iiad a low nKuiiid of small Bon- 

 nafl'on chrysanthenuims. 



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. 



I'^ach table was, of course, supplied 

 witii the usual napery.
