PARADISE OF FLOWERS
TOMLINSON HALL is A WILDERNESS
OF BRIGHT C0LORs.
Best Chrysanthemum Show the City
Has Known-Attendance Not
Up to the Mark.


terday that he could not account for it, I'M
less it was the lack of proper advertise
ment The show this year, he said, was far
superior to anything ever attempted. There
are more varieties of plants shown and of
better quality than heretofore, though ex-
hibitors have no> flooded the hall with large
collections. Visiting florists declare that
the general appearance of the hall is better
than they have ever seen it at a state
show. The decorations are elaborate, and
called forth many EXPLANATIONS of wonder
and pleasure from those who attended the
show. The best way to appreciate this is to
go into the balcony first and get view of
the hall as a whole Then more careful
inspection of the exhibits can be made, and
the various collections of flowers can be
viewed Individually
The light attendance during yesterday
afternoon is taken as an indication of a be-
lief that there are fewer attractions during
the day. This is a mistake. The orchestra
is there afternoon and evening, and every
other attraction of the night is equally
prominent during the day, except, perhaps,
the electrical effect. But for a careful in
spection of the rare plans the daylight is
better than the artificial.
There are several reasons why there are
more rare flowers here this year than for
merly. The greenhouses of the Middle
States and some from the East have been
searched for exceptionally fine specimens
of plants, and they are here in competition.
Last year and the year before the show
held during the same week as that in
Chicago and several other larger cities
Many florists who would have been glad to
come here at any other time took their
MA m ha 0it
dates have been arranged more as a circuit,
and the Indiana show is the only one now
in progress in this section of the country
There was larger attendance last night,
and the orchids continued to be the at
tractive display. They were rearranged in
the morning, so that they can be seen to a
better advantage. They were at first ar
ranged on long table against the stage.
They have been moved out so that they can
be viewed from all sides. The grouping of
them is artistic. There are thirty or forty
varieties, and they are ser in a background
of mosses and ferns.

the morning. 1t is slow work, and will re-
