ROBERT CRAIG CO.'S ITALIAN GARDEN AT THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. sideboard and dining- room table were decorated witti cut flowers appropriate for use with various flower days. Cal- enders were presented as souvenirs. Voller's House of Flowers had a space prettily fitted up in colonial style, with white arbor, furniture and pedestals, on which were placed filled rose floats. Tausendschon roses added color to the general arrangement. Harry Betz dec- orated his space with blooming plants, artistically arranged, as did John Kuhn, his neighbor, whose exhibit was aglow with choice blooming stock. The London Flower Shop displayed flower floats and iridescent bowls; also poster flower pots and filled bowls added color. John Gracey had a roomy space, which was decorated with choice plants in fancy baskets. These were g-iven plenty of display room and made a fine appearance. The "outside garden" or lawn at the entrance in front of the building was an attractive feature. On one side were specimen evergreens plant- ed by Henry A. Dreer. Inc., and oppo- site the Henry F. Michell Co., Inc., had also planted evergreens and had a bed of hyacinths arranged as a flag ?with appropriate colors. Banks of ev- ergreens immediately in front of the columns separating the several en- trances were by Adolph MuUer of the DeKalb Nurseries, Norristown, Pa. The Pennsylvania Horticultural So- ciety had a nicely arranged and roomy space just inside the entrance, which provided a comfortable rest room and meeting place for members and their friends. The society tea garden, conducted under the auspices of the various so- cial organizations was thronged at all times. Each day the young ladies who assisted in conducting the gar- den and sold flowers wore fancy cos- tumes, which distinguished them from the visitors. They were a picturesque feature of the show.
