mum" SHOW DRAWS
ANOTHER GREAT CROWD
Officials Give Warning That Exhibit
Is to Close Tomorrow
Night.

Washingtonians who have put of seeing
| the sixteenth annual mum show of the
Department of Agriculture until the las,
few hours had better get in while they
can. This is warning given today by
officials of the bureau Of plant industry
The show, which is unquestionably the
best ever made by the government, posi-
lively will close at 9 o'clock tomorrow
night
Officials Of the Department of Agricul-
ture learned today that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad is running excursion trains
from Baltimore today and tomorrow and
advertising the chrysanthemum show as
special attraction. It is estimated that
this will bring several thousand extra to
see the blooms on the last day Of the
show.
Sunday Always Busy Day.
Sunday is always the busiest day at the
mum show and the greenhouses are
crowded all day with long waiting line
which stretches sometimes 200 feet along
14th street. All that can be done to care
for this unexpected crowd is being done
but it is feared the small greenhouse
where the chrysanthemums are shown
will be taxed beyond its capacity.
All records for attendance were broken
again today. Parents began to arrive
early with children who have been in
school all week and pretty girls by the
hundreds coming from every state in the
Union, streamed in. They are attending
the various young ladies' seminaries in
Washington, and the trip to the mum
show was made a special holiday treat
The blooms are standing up well.
Some few have gone stale" and been
replaced by fresher plants that were in
bud when the show started.
The privilege of naming the pompon
seedlings has been greatly appreciated
by number of leading society women.
Named for Mrs. Ansberry.
One of the very best of the new
blooms has been given the name Nellie
K. Ansberry, for the wife of Judge
Timothy T. Ansberry. This is she'll
pink flower opening to a white center.
It is a luxurious bloom. with much life
in the stem and foliage. 1t has been
designated by horticulturists as one of
the two big improved Dottys. The
White Dotty has been one of the most
admired pompons in the entire show.
This is a creamy white of close petal
formation. The pink variation named
after Mrs. Ansberry and a white which
has been named Marion have a broader
and fuller flower, with a more feathery
appearance.
The sporting spirit at the show has
been revived. The Christy Mathewson
and the Walter johnson of a couple of
years ago have proved not good stay
ers. They failed to fulfill expectations
and have been discarded by the de-
partment greenhouses. Today one of
the sturdiest little pompons was named
by a veteran base ball hero the Doug
las Allison. This is a reddish bronze
bloom with a lighter center, of a DUR
glowing color. and fuller bloom than
the War Bride.
