o'clock tomorrow morning, and will re-
main open until 81 pm each day Tor
week, closing Wednesday, November J,

at 14th and b streets northwest.
In past seasons, it is recalled, visitors
have come from distant cities especially
to see the show. In Washington there are
many who visit it repeatedly While 1t is
on and make themselves familiar with
the different varieties
The display promises to be more than
usually beautiful this year. There are
more large blooms. and they run more
evenly. The show is opened early because
of the dry season and the unusual amount
of bright weather, which caused rapid

those of the tell, large-fiowered japanese
type.
The middle space of the greenhouse Is
filled with single-stemmed specimens Of
these SNOWY Japanese flowers, those In
the center rising to height of seven or
eight feet. Viewed from one end OF the
bank of huge blooms they make beau
tiful display of many colors.
Pigmies Are Prolific.
Along the sides are set the plants of
the pompon type, which are smaller. but
bear large numbers of flowers. These are
better adapted to outdoor planting than
are their giant neighbors, and some visit
ors NAV find them even more delightful
since they are more graceful and show
Il greater variety of new tints and new
shapes of flower. One of these. near the
door, has a nodding spray Of salmon-pink
flowers At the opposite end is another
with oddly quilted f1orets which open just
at the tips.
In all there are more than 1900 plants.
