A Popular Flower Show. 



When Oglesby Paul became landscape 

 gardener. of Fairmount park, he inaugu- 

 rated some new ideas that he believed 

 would appeal to the people. One of the 

 most important of these changes, was 

 the annual chrysanthemum show. Before 

 Mr Paul's day, visitors to Horticultural 

 hall could see chrysanthemums during 

 the autumn, fine ones too, but they had 

 to look for them, no especial effort be- 

 ing made at display. Since the shows 

 have been made a yearly feature, the 

 east, or Schuylkill river end of the hall, 



lias been set apart for them, and there 

 all that is worth seeing in chrysanthe- 

 mums is gathered and displayed to the 

 best advantage. The prevailing idea in 

 the park show is effect. This idea has 

 been improved, year by year, until today 

 it has reached a point never before seen 

 in Philadelphia. An artistic triumph 

 has been achieved, of which Charles Bax- 

 ter or George Eausch might well be 

 proud. 



The south end of the show room is 

 banked in pink chrysanthemums shading 

 to white beyond, with an occasional plant 



of another color by way of contrast. 

 The effect of this beautifully graded 

 bank of color is superb, thirty feet wide, 

 twelve or fifteen feet high, sloping grad- 

 ually, not a bloom out of place, one even 

 sheet of medium size well-colored flowers 

 fringed with green. The north end bank 

 is of gold and bronze. The same width, 

 not quite so deep as the south end, a 

 more abrupt slope permissible with the 

 bolder color. The red of Cullingfordi 

 and a few whites complete the artist's 

 daring scheme. Between these banks of 

 color, beds are laid out as of a Japanese 

 garden, the smaller flowers in yellow and 

 white rising daintily from their leafy 

 beds, while the larger stand out boldly, 

 in groups, from pedestals at curves and 

 corners. The practical side is demon- 

 strated by the free use of aspidistras 

 defining the paths, their leathery foliage 

 bidding defiance alike to skirts and 

 trousers. 



An immense throng visited the park on 

 the opening day of the show, a throng 

 so great as to require all the efforts of 

 an additional force of gray coated 

 guards to "Keep moving, please," 

 strongly attesting the great popularity 

 of the park show. 



I wish to doff my hat, with admiring 

 respect, to every man who contributed 

 with brain or brawn to a show that will 

 do so much to elevate popular taste in 

 plants and flowers. 



Will that do, Xavierf* 



Various Notes. 



The attendance at the show was the 

 largest on the second day, November 10. 



The Moore-Livingston Co. exhiljited 

 its plant stands at the show last week.
