WHITE AMARYLL|S
BLOWS THIS WEEK
Diplomats Enjoy Private View
of Department Show Open
Today to Public.

More than forty members Of the
diplomatic corps were guests of Sec
retary and Mrs. Henry c. Wallace at a
private opening of the ninth annual
amaryllis show of the Department OF
Agriculture yesterday.
The show will be thrown open to
the public this morning at O'Clock
in the department greenhouses at
14th and streets northwest. They
will remain open from am. to >
pm. daily for week.
This is easily the greatest amaryl-
lis show ever held anywhere in the
world. both in variety and number
Of blooms, the expert botanists ana
official representatives from the lor-
eign countries say. The representa-
tives from the South American coun-
tries, where the amaryllis is ma
tive plant. were especially pleased
with the varied coloring achieved by
the federal department growers.
White Bloom IL Tnrdy.
Director Byrnes of the department
greenhouses, who originated the
amaryllis shows, was afraid that
three plants which are expected to
show white blooms. for which bota-
nists have been striving for many
years. would not be out for the snow.
One of these was halfway open last
night and the botanists predict that
it will be open by Wednesday, and
that though tinted now, it Will
be white when it opens. Owing to
the success of the department grow
crs last year, botanists have come
from all over the world with the eX-
pectation of seeing the first real white
amaryllis.
Secretary and Mrs. Wallace have
invited cabinet members and their
wives and more than a score of other
prominent government officials to be
their guests at the show today. In
vitations have also been extended to
all members of Congress and their
families by DR.. w. A. Taylor, chief OF
the bureau of plant industry.
Eighteen seedlings, most of which
are of unusually light coloring. pro-
duced by the department expert, are
attracting a great deal of attention,
and will probably be cultivated COM
mercially.
Mrs. Harding to Give Name.
Mrs. Harding. when she returns to
Washington, will be invited by Mrs.
Wallace to choose a day on which to
entertain her personal friends at the
anlaryllis show, and it is probable
that on that day the new white bloom
will be named for Mrs. Harding.
No two plants in the show are
exactly alike in coloring, and many
differ in conformation. Some stalks
with eight perfectly formed, large
trumpet-shaped flowers are said by
specialists to be the finest plants ever
placed on exhibition.

Every citizen who visits Washington
should be able. on returning to his

therefore, that is the way our things
should be done Such is the ideal
which the development of the city
