Friends who are lovers of the
cbrysanthemum all over the county
are expressing deep regret that they
were not notified of the late show
OF that lovely flower in Palaski-
that tn Y might have participated
IN its beauties. To such it is bnt
due to say we are equally sorry-
that we made every effort possible
to reach all who we knew had col.
lections. 1t has since developed
that rhere are splendid collections
all over the county, whose posses
sors would have taken great de
light In the show. This show was
only conceived late Thursday eve
ming andshad Ton Saturday-that
it was such grand success is due
alone to the enthu siasm of the adj
