THE EXHIBITIONS 



KANSAS CITY. 



The third Kansas City flower show was 

 opened to the public at 7:30 p. m. No- 

 vember 13. The show this year surpasses 

 any of the shows previously held, both in 

 the number of exhibitors and in the 

 quality of the stock exhibited. The hand- 

 ling of the exhibits and the arrange- 

 ments are unexcelled. Superintendent 

 Goodman and Secretary Shouse have been 

 the busiest of men, placing exhibits and 

 attending to the numerous duties inci- 

 dental to the handling of one of the 

 largest and best flower shows held in 

 this country. 



One of the most attractive exhibits of 

 the entire show is a large display of 

 Begonia Gloire De Lorraine, shown by 

 Samuel Murray. This exhibit was one 

 of the features of the show and at- 

 tracted much attention. The C. A. 

 Shaeflfer Floral Co., recently organized 

 here, made an exhibit and carried away 

 several prizes. Among the out-of-town 

 growers exhibiting were: E. G. Hill Co., 

 W. J. and M. S. Vesey, F. E. Pierson 

 Co., H. W. Buckbee, Wietor Bros., 

 Nathan Smith & Son and Vaughan 'a Seed 

 Store. All these had fine displays and 

 it was a difficult matter to decide which 

 was the best. The local florists captured 

 their share of the ribbons, W. L. Eock 

 taking thirty-one prizes, Samuel Murray 

 thirty-one and W. J. Barnes ten. 



The single judge system for each class 

 was tried at this show for the first time. 

 The judges were ,W. J. Stewart, Boston,
