ST. LOUIS. 



The fifth annual flower show given by 

 the St, Louis Horticultural Society 

 opened at noon Tuesday, November 7, 

 in the arena of the Coliseum. The over- 

 head decorations of the recent horse 

 show were left intact, which made a 

 pretty effect for the plants and cut 

 blooms below. The St. Louis park 

 department had a large and handsome 

 display at the south end of the hall, 

 which attracted a great deal of atten- 

 tion. 



The Betail Florists' Association had 

 a large booth on the east side of the 

 hall, in which the members made dis- 

 plays each day. Ostertag Bros, deco- 

 rated the booth the first day, staging 

 two handsome dinner tables. A third 

 table was by the Metropolitan Floral 

 Co. In this booth the McCray Re- 

 frigerator Co., Kendallville, Ind., dis- 

 played one of its handsome florists' 

 i)oxes and counter box. 



The Shaw premiums had a great 

 many entries in all classes, but the cut 

 flower display was rather meaner for 

 tlie first day. The weather was fine, but 

 the attendance for the first day was 

 not up to expectations. 



The judges for the week are F. W. 

 Unienig, ('. Bergstonnaun, R. F. Tes- 

 son, Jolin Stcidk" and Jules Bourdet.
