Beautiful Chrysanthemums.
During the past few week* there
has been on display in this city a
profusion of beautiful chrysanthe
mums. The beauty and size of
these flowers have claimed the at
tention and admiration of all and
have caused much favorable com
ment.
These flowers have been sent in
quantities from Florida to New
York and have elicited letters of
surprise and wonder that such
exquisite specimens of this plant
could be grown here. Visitors §
have carried them away with them
jto their homes and were loud in
! their praise of these flowers, and
;it shows to what a high state of
! cultivation they can be brought.
Those raised here are probably
i the largest and prettiest to be
; found in this section and it takes
very careful and painstaking labor
to produce such lovely specimens.
Those raised by Mrs. R. L. Swatt*
Mrs. J. G. Smith and Mrs. M. W.
Smith have attracted most atten
tion and these Indies have cause
to be proud of their efforts in this
direction.
