Exhibits for the horticultural societys
display began TO arrive yesterday, and by
night the Guards hall had assumed a very
attractive appearance. This was due not
only to the sight of the luscious fruits
that ladened the tables, but also to the
tasteful arrangement of the exhibits by
the manager of the display, Mr. A c. Gel
schig number of workmen were en-
gagged in erecting tables upon which the
plates of fruits of all varieties found in this
climate are to be placed The contribution
received during the day flied four of these.
and about the hall were placed
handsome palms whose waving grace
adds beauty to the scene. The first ship
ment to arrive was from the state expert
mental farm at Griffin.
There were eighteen cases Of fruits of
all kinds, grapes largely predominating
Such prOfusion of varieties as are now
on display will probably be seen for the
first time by the majority of the visitors.
Many will even be struck with wonder to
learn that there are so many different
kinds of grapes.
Mr.. Oeschig says that in the expert
mental stations exhibit there are between
200 and $50 varieties of the fruit of
Bacchus. Dr. A. Oemer also has an ex-
hibit in place. This is of onions, and
twenty different kinds of that, to the taste
delightful, but to the olfactories objection
able vegetable are displayed. 1t is ex-
pected that exhibits in abundance will be-
gin to arrive this morning. Exhibitors
would not send earlier for fear of de-
cay. No admission fee will be charged,
and those interested in such exhibitions
of the horticultural products of the state
are invited to visit the display.
