The chrysauthemum show opened up
last uight at the Guards arsenal, in all
It's blaze of colors and brilliant profusion
of flowers. The only thing that did not
show up as it ought to have done was
the crowd, which. unfortunately up to the
time the theater adjourned, was small.
No one who loves flowers. and the most
beautiful kind Of flowers, can afford to
miss seeing Oelschig's display
The display was not open to visitors I'M
IN o'clock on account of the fact that
it took the greater part of the day to get
the plants into the han, and to arrange
them to advantage. The arrangement is
such as to give the best and most attrac-
tive effects. In the center of the hall are
several handsome palms, around which is
arranged d profuson Of white and slightly
tinted varieties Of potted plants, all OF
which are from three to six inches in
diameter. in the rear of the han is an
other display of palms, surrounded by a
large number of yellow and bronze chrys-
anthemUms. The other varieties are ar
ranged along the sides of the hail. the
colors which harmonize being placed to-
Gether so as to give the most pleasing ef-
fccts.
The cut flowers, or those which We're
grown from plants of a single stem, so
that the entire energy OF the growth Of
the plant was thrown into single flower,
form the most attractive and interesting
exhibit Among some of the most attrac-
tive and the handsomest varieties of
these are the Nivens d large white ball
eight and one-half inches in diameter, the
Kioto, a large flower with a slight yellow
tint the Queen, a large, compact white
BAH Ike flower seven and one-half inches
in diameter, the Princess of Chrysanthe-
NUNS, large pink tinted, solid ball eight
inches in diameter, the Col. Smith, Presi-
dent Smith, Kings Daughter, Eugene Dali
lidge, w. p. Haezig, a large bronze flower,
Pitcher and Manda, an odd variety with
yellow center passing into a tint and then
white toward the edge of the flower, c.
Fl. Clarke, Mrs. John Eyreman, Marie
Louise, Lena Walz, A. G.. Ramsay, and
among the nduuSOIle FarlelleS or new
plants are the Inter Ocean, of a pink tint,
and a bronze flower called the Gettys-
burg
These flowers were admired by all who
saw them, and it was not long before the
largest and handsomest plants had been
engaged, to be delivered after the show
These flowers can be kept with care for
"a week or two The plants are all for sale,
but none Of them are to be delivered until
the last night of the show
An interesting feature is a display made
bv several of the school children, to whom
plants We're given by Mr.. Oelschg last
year About a dozen of them are COM
peting for the prizes offered by Mr. Gel
schig, and two esnecially, a President
Smith and a Lena Walz, We're very much
admired.
a handsome display OF flowers was
also made by Mrs. S. L. b. Gillespie
They were all grown in the yard, and
have not had the attention usually given
hot house plants, but they are all large
and exquisite flowers. OF the varieties
| most admired We're a Princess of Chrys-
apthemums, a Henry May and Mrs.
John Eyrman.
The refreshment tables were made the
! brightest and most attractive that have
been seen at such an affair in some time
and during the evening refreshments
were served by the ladies. a great many
who attended the theater stopped after
ward, took in the show, and had an ele-
/ CANT lunch.
Mr.. Arthur Whitehead presided at the
/ box office, and handled the coupons like
/ an old staEer. During the evening Rosen-
! fields orchestra discoursed some bright
/ and attractive music, which was much
/ enjoyed, and a little dancing was in
/ obliged in.
