Roosevelt with the compliments of John P Habermehl, [pictured on right] President of the Flower Show Committee. (Adolph Muller is man on left.) Fifty roses and 50 carnations, mixed with sprays of golden acacia, in commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of Acacias Exhibitions in America, with a corsage of rare orchids, will leave Central Airport in Camden at 10:30.
