the Fifth Annual Flower Show, to be held in St. Louis

Several exhibits made by the Missouri Botanical 
Gardens added much to the general attractive appear- 
ance of the show. The orchid display being regarded 
as the finest exhibit made. The St. Louis Park De- 
jiartment had some excellent beds of flowering and 
foliage plants and grasses in variety surrounding a 
large electric fountain. As for the general competi- 
tive exhibits they were for the most part staged by
