that before the next exhibition there
must be a larger greenhouse provided
for the show. This year the plants
have had to be crowded in so tightly
that they have not appeared to the pest
advantage, and the public has had only
:. narrow pathway along when II
p,ust walk one at a time to see the
blooms.
If there was more space the blooms
could be distributed in groups SO ,ral
the public might walk around them
and study their beauty and lndiNlpuai
attractiveness and peculiarities IL IL
hoped by the officials of the bureau OF
plant industry and many other govern
ment officials that next year mueh
larger display can be maze anu tne
public given more comfortable space.

largest that ever crowded into the
mum" show in any Single day ouInns

is keeping up today. and is expected to
be well over 5000 Sunday. when the

The blooms are standing up well dur
ing this ordeal despite the fact that
the weather has been a little too warm
for exhibition. To protect the flowers
as much as possible. the glass house in
which they are displayed is painted

day to shade the plants The head
