This interrogation, simul- taneously chorused by a group of young people entering the scene of Chicago's West Town Exposition Monday night, March 27, shows that the flower section of the local loyalty exposition is accom- plishing its purpose—interesting the public in flowers. As one enters the Second Infantry armory, at 2653 Madison street, the building in which the local loyalty show is being held, the first thing to meet the eye is a good-sized electric "Say It with Flowers" sign that gleams on the end of an arbor, within whose length all the exhibits are placed, with the ex- ceptions of the displays of H.

The most admired features of the dis- play by Peter Pearson, Chicago, are the tulips, although he is also showing a fine lot of cinerarias, stellata among them, and hydrangeas, along with other plants. He showed a brand-new tulip, which has been christened "; This is a bi-flowering sport of a Darwin and can be described as a mottled brown
