With a border of potted tropical plants, 

 the entire floor space was covered with 

 sod from Clifton park. In the center 

 was an immense mound of tropical 

 plants; at the side were design beds 

 which were perfect in every respect. The 

 exhibit called forth the admiration of 

 everyone and it was the largest of its 

 kind ever seen under a roof in Baltimore.

 two immense beds of pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums which were extra fine. They had 

 about fifty varieties grouped together, 

 with large vq^es of them arranged about 

 the hall.

 and flowers. It was awarded a certificate

 raised Alvina, which has proved to be 

 a fine pink and an excellent bloomer,
