In chapter 5 why does Gatsby deliver so many goods and services to Nicks house?

Gatsby asks Nick to help him set up an event so that Daisy would come to it.  It is supposed to be a tea. Nick tells him that he can't because he has no time.  Gatsby assures him that it will be worth his while for he will ensure that he makes some money and everything will be taken care of by Gatsby.


Gatsby has so many flowers sent that it looks like a greenhouse at Nicks.  There are cakes and food.  Twelve lemon cakes arrive from the delicatessen.  Gatsby is concerned that there will not be enough food for the tea.  Gatsby has overdone everything in order to impress Daisy.
