LOOK FOR 



QUEEN MARIE 



NEW POMPON MUM, AT INDIANAPOLlls CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW 



EXHIBITED BY 



HERMAN BROS. CO. Council Bluffs, Iowa 



MEMPHIS, TENN. 



The decorations at the formal opeuiuji 

 of the new Grand Central station, held 

 October 21, were exceedingly elaborate 

 and attracted much notice on the part 

 of the visitors. The work was executed 

 by (J. F. Swayger, chief gardener for the 

 Illinois Central railroad, and three divi- 

 sion gardeners, John Kinck, of New Or- 

 leans, La.; H, S. Fulton, of Fulton, Ky., 

 and J. Dinkins, of Norwood, La. 

 Hundreds of palms and plants, furnished 

 by the Idlewild (Jreenhouses, were used. 

 G'reat quantities of Florida gray moss, 

 wild smilax, palm leaves, etc., as well 

 as hundreds of Beauties, orchids, carna- 

 tions and roses were used in the decora- 

 tions. A carload of ferns, jtalnis and 

 Louisiana moss was sent up from New- 

 Orleans. Large numbers of roses and 

 carnations were jireseuted to the ladies 

 among the visitors as souvenirs, and 

 cigars were distributed freely among 

 the gentlemen. This station is one of 

 the best and largest in the south — 

 the finest on the Jllinois Central road 

 south of Chicago, it is said — and the 

 o|iening was in accordance with its im- 

 portance. Many railroad officials of 

 ]>rominence were in attendance, and Mr. 

 Swayger and his assistants put in their 

 best work on the decorations.
