FINE FLOWER SHOW
Held Under Auspices of the Barre
Woman's Club.

Woman's Club.
The best peony show ever held I'M
der the auspices OF the Barre Woman 8
club was held Saturday at the Le-
gion hall above the clubrooms of the
Barre post. No. 10. The exhibit this
year. though limited to one day in
place of the usual two days on account
OF the Goddard seminary commence
ment, exceeded all other exhibits given
under the auspices OF this club in size,
variety and interest. More visitors took
the opportunity to go to the rooms in
the single day than have hitherto at
tended shows in the past years.
As Is the custom the peony held first
place in the exhibit. Many beautiful
eolors of this flower occupied places in
the exhibit which drew the close atten-
ton and admiration OF the continual
stream of visitors in and out of the
hall. In addition, there were the very
best specimens of the iris, fox glove,
sweet william, lily, rose, larkspur, for
get -me.not, beard tongue, anchusa,
stocks and snapdragon.
A collection from the Horseford
greenhouses in Charlotte, one Of the
largest floral hot houses In the state,
was large source of interest, while
the Emslie greenhouse of this city fur
nished many specimens Of the snap
dragon, l0-week stocks, calendula,
bachelor buttons and other flowers,
which have not bloomed in the local
flower gardens but which are at their
height under the care of the expert
enced florist. The beautiful bouquets
given by these two greenhouses were
we'll nigh perfect as representative Of
their species.
The Legion hall, as an exhibit room
for this nature of show, was very
well adapted TO take care Of the usual
feeling that things were crowded into
too small a space or lost in too large
a one. And credit for the careful ar
ranging of the tables with their rare
burdens and the fine manipulation of
bouquets to show or the delicate
beauty of each flower is due the ladies
OF the committee who arc to be com
mended on their fine work and their
marked success. So pleased are they
with the results that il Is quite likely
that another exhibit in the fall will
be. given under their auspices at the Le-
gion hall.
One of the rare treats of the show
was cactus plant contributed by
Mrs. ]. f. Giffin Of Currier street. The
plant was the finest of its kind that
has vet been shown at show in
Barre. Sixty-nine blossoms made its
appearance all the more exceptional
and attractive.
Another feature was an old-fash
toned satchel plant. The plant was in
full bloom and the shape. of the bios

atelv named the old-fashioned satchel.
Three or four specimens of the
climbing American beauty rose con
tributed by Mrs. =. NJ Tobin of Acad
envy street were of the very best. Buds
and blossoms alike were perfect in
their shape and loneliness
In addition to the floral exhibit, sew
eral differently shaped handmade has
kets woven from the southern pine
needle BY Mrs. II. A. Gould during her
winters stay in Florida, drew forth
many complimentary remarks and ex-
carnations. The baskets showed the
pine needle delicately interviewer into
many beautiful and intricate designs
and patterns. Such fine shsndiwork IL
surely commentator enough for the
lady who must have spent much Of her
time in the shaping and designing Of
their delirate features
