The peo ple strolled from display to dis play, admiring the work of Horticulture Club members who sponsored the show on Saturday and Sunday. The exhibits, which combined displays and live plants, were ex amples of the show's theme, Horti culture The Science Artfully Yours. Although cider, mushrooms, pumpkins, gourds, and apples were sold at the show, the big attraction was the plant sale. About two-thirds of the plants sold were foliage plants and the other third were flowering plants, said Rob Dillon ( junior-horticul ture), one of the students in charge of plant, sales. The show included about 150 types of foliage plants and 20 types of flowering ones, Dillon said. Some of the plants were grown by students, said Roland R.

Lou Bec cari Munior-horticulture), co manager of the show, said three local nurseries donate their stock for use in the exhibits. Most of the plants ranged in price from $1 to $l5, although some tree-sized plants could be purchased for $2O to $3O, Dillon said. He said he believed Saturday's crowd was mostly people. passing through on their way to the foot ball game, so they did not buy much. Sunday is the show's big sale day because local residents can come to buy plants for their homes, he said. Attendance for the past few years' shows has averaged about 30,000 people per weekend, said Beccari, and with the weekend's good weather this year's atten dence should have matched that. About $BO,OOO worth of merchan dise is used in the, show, Beccari said. The Horticulture Club has pledg ed $3,000 of the show's profit to the construction of the Agricultural Arena, which is the site of next year's show. The arena is being built on Fox Hollow Road beside Beaver Stadium, next to the Meats Laboratory.

It was later moved to the ice skating rink and then to a large tent in the flower gardens behind East Halls, said Ernest L. Berg man, professor of plant nutrition, and one of the show's faculty advi sors. The show was traditionally held on homecoming weekend, Beccari said. But when it was moved to the tent, the date had to be moved up to a warmer time of the year. Next ; UNLIMITED efl‘ a . Fresh vtollt Soup & Salad for Lunch & Dinner served llam-lOpm Open daily 805 S.

The Horticulture Club will not have to worry about the weather for next year's show because it will be indoors, Beccari said. He said this year the tent blew down and valuable preparation time was lost, although the show opened on schedule. Also, the lighting in the Agricultural Arena will be better than in the tent, Beccari said. Although the Horticulture Club began planning this year's show $ 99 only.

The 60 by 180 feet tent was not erected until ten days before the show. The electricity was installed the next day, to allow nine days for the actual installation of the plants used in the exhibits, he said. Because there is not very much light inside the tent, many of the plants that are to be sold are kept outside for as long as possible before being put in the sales dis play, Beccari said.
