EXHIBIT

The sxhibat OF flowers and fruits
that was opened IN Falstaff hall. GS
Westminster street. yesterday afternoon
by the Rhode Island Horticultural so
ciety was continued this afternoon and
will remain open for inspection through
out the evening.
II is a notable display and today the
various fruits and flowers seem TO have
become well accustomed to their new en-
vfronment and have lent their best and
most potent charms willingly to the en-
hancement OF the exhibit as a whole The
strawberries have lost none OF their fresh
ness and still put 10 shame the mediocre
variety that come 'ffteen. two for
quarter" The roses retain their fun,
rich lovelness and have grown more
beautiful II possible. under the admir-
Ing gaze Of the many who came 10 the
hall yesterday. II is not difricult To
understand why the rose is so often
called queen among flowers" Nothing In
nature can exceed in delicate beauty the
perfect rose. and here one can see perfec-
fion In a hundred blooms. The other dis
plays than those OF berries and roses are
worthy in themselves of visit and add
much to the attractveness OF the hall
