Now in Progress There. The windows of the peristyle are great- ly improved this year by the addition of window boxes filled with arbor-vitse, and at the entrance of Music hall are large boxes filled with asters and vincas. A good-sized bed of asters and greeftery is laid out near the pond. Above the two entrances to Flower hall are large cedar boxes filled with gera- niums and vines. The hall itself is beautifully decorated with greenery and wild smilax, with small trees of arbor-vit«B arranged around the entire room. The pillars also are covered, and resemble trees. Hedges of the greenery run around the room. During the day the natural light in Flower hall is quite good and at night the hall is well lighted. The cool- ness of the room is favorable for the ?flowers and in many ways the hall is superior to the building used last year. The flower show division of the expo- sition, according to the reports of the committee, easily surpasses last year's as regards the quality of stock! The bad season has favored us with some wonderful flowers, and on the whole the display is far better than was expected. The committee in charge consists of Charles H. Vick, chairman; George T. Boucher, George B. Hart, A. H. Salter and E. P. Wilson. They have done everything in their power to make the show a success and great credit is due them for the admirable way in which it is being handled. The Leading Exhibits. The Rochester parks department is always ready to help out with exhibits of fine collections of flowers, shrubs, ferns and palms. The whole width of the hall is given to the park depart- ment, which displays Japanese lilies, flowering allamandas, begonias, dra- ffpnas, crotons and cacti. Some fine new varieties of hydrangeas, with mon- strous blooms, are included in the exhibit. Bo
