KANSAS CITY. 



Viewed from any point, the Kansas 

 City show was a great success. The ex- 

 hibitors were many, the exhibits fine, the 

 attendance large, and, with the exception 

 of the last day, the weather was per- 

 fect. Everything went smoothly. For 

 artistic effect and arrangements this 

 show excelled its predecessors. From 

 ^Vheeler's splendid orchestra, which fur- 

 nished the music throughout the week, to 

 the Italian villa, with its myriads of 

 olectric lights at the. north end of the 

 hall, the whole effect was Italian. The 

 ground floor of the building was an ar- 

 tistic arrangement of flower beds and 

 walks. A car-load of southern smilax 

 was used in the decorations. Samuel 

 Murray's first-prize collection of Lor- 

 raine begonias occupied a position in the 

 center of the hall, while W. L. Eock's 

 splendid display of ferns on the right 

 of the entrance was the best exhibit of 

 the kind ever seen in this city and at- 

 tracted much attention. Taken as a 

 whole, the fern display was the best fea- 



ture of the show, and, according to many 

 of the visitors, excelled the fern displays 

 of any of the other shows held this year. 

 The F. E. Pierson Co. exhibited Nephro- 

 lepis elegantissima which received spe- 

 cial mention. The Baby Eambler incu- 

 bator was always the center of an ad- 

 miring group. 



The chrysanthemum sweepstakes went 

 to H. W. Buckbee. The prize was a sil- 

 ver cup, offered by the Foley Mfg. Co., 

 Chicago.
