The Flower Snow.
The much-talked-of flower show Is
being held at the Royal Hawaiian ho-
eel this afternoon and evening and is
to be open to the public on Sunday
afternoon for the benefit OF the many
who will be unable 10 come on SatuT-
day. II Is an extremely beautiful
spectacle and In few places else in
the world could such a collection OF
handsome plants be seen. The palm
garden Is the approach TO this fairy
land OF wonders here. Some of the
worlds choicest plants are on exhibit
ton. II is folly to attempt TO des-
cribe IN detail these wonderful palms.
Mrs. Walter Giffard, Mrs Frederick j.
Lowrey, Mr.. Gerfit Wilder, Mrs. VII
liam r. Castle, Mrs. L. A. Thurston,
Mrs. E. ID. Tenney, Mr.. Charles Nc
CURE and Mrs. George Herbert all
have very wonderful specimens. Mrs.
A ]. Campbell has the begonias in
her care and they are a bewildering
mass OF growth and exquisite bloom.
The exhibitors here are Mrs. c. Kie-
hahn, Mrs. r. j. Lowrey, Mrs Giffard,
Mrs. Al. Campbell and Mrs. Tenney.
The orchids are too handsome for
mere words and Mr.. Arthur Wall, in
his always artistic way. has fashioned
q jungle which Is quite realistic. Mrs.
Edward d. Tenney, Mr. Wall and Mrs.
Charles Mcclure are among the ex-
hibitors here.
Australian ferns are splendidly dis
played and make very handsome
feature. Princess Kalanianaole owns
q wonderful collection and 1t is almost
priceless.
The very handsome fern baskets
are q wonder. Mrs. e. d. Tenney,
Mrs. William Hopper, Mrs. Lowrey
and several others have contributed to
this display
The potted plants are many and
varied and they alone are worthy Of
oneh attention. The cut flowers are
astonishingly good.
The croton display Is exclusively
Mr.. Eli Snyder's, and Is indeed very
handsome one.
The caladiusus Mrs. George Herbert
has, and they are truly beautiful.
The oldfashioned garden is in
charge Of Miss Jessie Kennedy and
as she Is acknowledged one of the
eleverest and most artistic girls in
Honolulu little else need be said
The great credit for this display
goes to Miss Bertha Young, who is
thoroughly efficient and who surely
must be fully repaid for her untiring
work In this. the first flower show |
here. Every woman has worked long
and late and It must be q great salts
faction to have such good results.
The management Of the Territorial
Hotel Company has helped the circle
iu 30 many ways, putting the Hawai-
Ian hotel at the circles disposal, kind.
" donating their ballroom dancers to
give exhibition dances and IN q hun ]
dred ways has helped.
Mr.. u " Rock Of the College of Ha-
woii has ben indispensable for his

future the circle plans two flower
shows q year. This year is only a
rtry-out," but next year will be a
competitive one and ribbon prizes
