Here in Columbus everyone has seen these Chrysanthemums, They have 
been on Display at the City Hall. Flower Show each year since 1944 when our 
Mums made up the Display, and our Chris Columbus was named on Columbus Day 
by Mayor James J, Rhoads in honor of our city, Hach year this show is get- 
ting larger and now attracts national recognition; 
Every home could have a display in front at very little cost to help 
make Columbus attractive and the Chrysanthemum center of America which a 
lot of folks are striving to do, As Holland, Michigan has its Tulip Fes- 
tival each year so Columbus, Ohio could have its Mum Festivals, bringing 
thousands of visitors to view the flowers, the pagents, parades and fes- 
tivities that could be staged, No other city has taken up the Mum, and 
Columbus has a fine start with the Columbus City Hall having thousands of 
plants blooming all around the building in beds and borders which now at- 
tracts thousands from all over the country. West High School has been pro- 
pogating Mums in their Botony classes for the beautification of the grounds 
around the building and at the football field, making it one of the most 
beautifully decorated schools in America,
