There was an unusually large attendance, including a great number of winter visitors to the city. There are several changes to be made in the list of judges publish- ed yesterday. There follows a corrected and complete list of the ladies who served as judges for the affair: Mrs. William A. Har- shaw, Gates Mills, Ohio; Mrs. Wil- liam Bogart, Charleston, S. C.; Mrs. Edgar M. Funkhouser, Roa- noke, Va.; Mrs. Frank B. Rut- ledge, Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. Howard M. Wade, Charlotte, N. C.; Mrs. Edith Rhodes Foster, Beyerly, Mas Mrs. Louis de emont, Portsmouth, N. H.; Mrs. C. R. Strater, Rye, .New York; Mrs. C. Blackburn Miller, Yonkers, N. Y.; and Mrs. Anton Otto Fischer, Shandaken, New York. The entire show was a splendid and brilliant array of beautiful things exquisitely arranged and delightful to see. It would be almost impossible to select any particular display as the best of the Flower Show. It occurs to the writer that different exhibits ap- pealed to winter visitors than to Key Westers. Visitors, for ex- ample, seemed extraordinarily in- terested in the tropical flowers, the tropical fruits and vegetables and the seed gnd seed pods groups. Key Westers, on the oth- er hand, found the cut garden spring flowers of great interest. This is a natural reaction, consid- ering that tropical plants, etc., have always grown here and the people of the city have always ac- cepted them as a matter of course. Garden flowers, however, are something in the nature of a rari- ty. Naturally, too, visitors would be interested in the things they never see elsewhere. ? In awarding ribbons, the judges worked on points, these determin- ed by the arrangement of the flowers, the condition of the blooms and the originality of the display. It must have been diffi- cult, with so much beauty from which to choose, to award these ribbons. The building was charmingly decorated as to background with long palm fronds hanging from rafters and forming a ceiling of green tropical beauty. Shadow boxes lined the side walls. These shadow boxes, incidentally, show- ed a great deal of originality in their preparation, but it must be said in all fairness that most of them were a little too crowded as to contents for them to show at their best advantage. This is borne out when it is known that the box with a single hibiscus was awarded the blue ribbon for that competitive display. A great deal of credit belongs to the ladies who acted as chair- ,»men for the various’ exhibits, * which were uniformly splendid of ~ their kind. A vote of thanks is __,@eserved by every one of them. The tropical flower display was exquisite, one bloom in particular attracting much attention because of its breathtaking loveliness. This jwas the Languas speciosa, or ginger flower, which was so perfect in color and form that it seemed waxen. The cacti table was unique, beautifully arranged and even bore the scientific nam of every specimen. This ng- ing of hundreds of varie cacti represented an amount of work, and the disp) was indeed well worth th ribbon awarded it There were tab! plants with amples: a table of « ful alike in color and arrange- ment; oleanders in gorgeo fusion: bougainvillaea ‘et of startling color; roses of all kinds in charming vases and bowls; hanging baskets made of wicker, sponges and shells; be- gonias in lovely pastel ' potted caladius rather austerelyj beautiful; wild flowers, including the stately cats-tails, mostly in! green containers; garden flowers, delicate and hardy alike, in vases, } bowls, shells and glass; a display} of yellow flowers, including some! very fine hybrids that deserve; more than passing mention; ferns; and palms in green lavishness; anj exhibit of miniature vases with | flowers, all of these tiny contain- | ers as charming and sweet as they | could be. There was a shell and} shell-novelties exhibit together} with a marine garden. The tropical fruit and vege-j tables display, together with the} seed and seed pods exhibit, beg-| gars description.

There was much orig- inality and sense of harmony dis- played in the arrangements to make them more than ordinarily pleasing to the beholder. The teachers and children deserve credit for their good work on these exhibits. Deserving mention too was the colored people’s section of the Flower Show.
