A GHENT FLOWER GARDEN 



The city of Ghent has the reputation of being the "Flower Garden of Belgium." Some 

 of the finest specimens of selected varieties of flowers anywhere to be found are bred at Ghent, 

 and King Albert I is the patron of the occasional flower shows where they are exhibited in 

 competition with the thoroughbred flowers of England, France and other parts of Belgium. 

 This photograph, taken on a Lumiere Autochrom plate, represents a scene in the last exhibi- 

 tion in the Horticultural Hall at the World's Fair Grounds at Ghent. The picture makes 

 one wonder which the more to admire — the beauty of the flowers or the power of the camera 

 to interpret the luxuriant colors so faithfully.
