CENTRAL PARK FLOWER SNOW,
Fine Specimens Of Rhododendrons, Azaieas
and Carnations.

There were numerous free flower shows
IN New York yesterday. but none delighted
more spectators than the annual flower show
heid IN the Conservatives at 106th street
and Fifth avenue. Directors N. j. Rose
and Z. Q. OLSEN with their assistants have
been uncommonly successful this year in
producing the plants for the exhibition.
There are no novelties OF importance
among them. but the individual specimens
rarely reach such a high average as this
year. The rhododendrons, which are oppo-
site the main entrance, are one OF the most
beautiful exhibits In the Conservatives
They are in white and lavender. unus ualy
large and blooming in great luxuriance.
About the rhododendrons are acacias.
szaleas and Holland plants. Two uncom-
mon features Of the exhibit are a large
camellia tree covered with red blossoms
and an orange tree with the fruit ripe.
There are also lemon tree and banana
plant In fruit and flower. The Azalea mollis
In pale shades Of pink and yellowish red Is
the flower with which the gardeners have
been most successful. Many examples OF
the flower are on view, and such full and
perfect plants are seldom seen. Many Of
the azaleas are beautiful, and the examples
OF acacias, yellow spirea and narcissi are
numerous.
Two old-fashioned garden flowers that
have again come Into favor are the bleeding
heart, which has for years been banished
from gardens, and the patagonia or Lady
Washington. the pale pink and red gera-
mum. Both OF these flowers will according
10 Director OLSEN, again be in style this
year.
In the other house are an Australian
fire tree. worth 81 600, a sensitive plant that
sbrivels up at the touch and does not re-
cover it's freshness for an hour, a South
American fig tree and other beautiful
tropical plants. Among the most curious
Is the red tail flower. that looks like curled
pigs tail. The flowers are to he on view
daily for a week.
Among the carnations there are no new
blooms, and the most successful shown are
which is especially large and beautiful
There are also fine specimens of the Gov.
Roosevelt and the Lawson.
