A DECORATED AUTO. 



Floral carnivals, so-called, are rapid- 

 ly increasing in number and popularity 

 and nobody should tal<e a greater in- 

 terest in their success than the local 

 florist. Coming as they do at a season 

 of the year when out-door bloom is 

 abundant and brilliant the business 

 they create is of a profitable character. 

 Our illustration shows an automobile 

 decorated by Joseph Fuller for the 

 Board of Trade Carnival at Leomin- 

 ster, Mass., on September 3, which was 

 the winner of first prize. The method 

 of attaching the flowers is thus des- 

 cribed by Mr. Fuller. 



"I cut some rubber cloth the width 

 of the fenders and other places where 

 the floral work might injure the var- 

 nish. I then took some wire netting 

 18 inches wide on which I placed 

 sphagnum moss 1 1-2 inches thick and 

 9 inches wide, folding the other 9 

 inches of mesh over, and attaching 

 same firmly to the parts to be dec- 

 orated. The flowers, when inserted 

 were there to stay and although the 

 auto, was driven thirty miles at full 

 speed not one flower was displaced. 

 The material used was Hydrangea 

 paniculata grandiflora. Clematis pani- 

 culata, Asparagus Sprengeri. A. plumo- 

 sa, three doves, and two barrels of 

 moss. Most of the flowers were in- 

 serted on long stems, pointed, and they 

 still looked well twenty-four hours 

 afterward."
