November 15 to 17 the Knoxville Florists' Society held a fall flower show in a vacant store-room at 412 Gay street, Knoxville. The show was given for the benefit of the Young Women's Christian Association, which recently started a campaign for a building fund. An admission fee of 25 cents was charged, all of which went to the Y. W. C. A., the florists receiving only the publicity. This is the first flower show held in Knoxville for a number of years and, though not as largely attended as hoped for, it proved quite a success. It was participated in by all the florists and a number of amateurs, and fine stock was exhibited. No prizes were awarded, except to the amateurs. Mrs. Rosa Hall Eyno's exhibit was a beautiful mantel decoration of ferns, fancy-leaved caladiums, araucarias, draceenas, aspidistras,' begonias, pan- danus, crotons, etc. A. H. Dailey had some handsome Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Radiance and Kaiserin roses. These were without a doubt the finest ever shown in Knox- ville at this season of the year. Mr. Dailey also had a good table decora tion. The C. W. Crouch Co. feature dis- play was a large urn of Radiance roses. The company also showed some fine chrysanthemums and blooming plants, and its table decoration probably was the most artistic at the show. Baum's exhibit consisted of a table of thirty-six varieties of chrysanthe- mums, one to each vase, and also a general display of the same varieties. six to a vase. They also showed some excellent carnations in four varieties, 100 to a vase. A most attractive fea- ture of the Baum exhibit was two large vases of chrysanthemums. There were 100 blooms each of William Turner and Odessa, the blooms aver- aging ten inches in diameter and val- ued at $1 each. Lectures and Stereopticon Attract.
