FLORAL DISPLAY. 



The display of decorative and flowering plants of the first week 

 was verj^ fine. When the electric lights were burning the sight was 

 very beautiful. Many people remarked how beautifully they were 

 arranged. Those competing for the premiums were Messrs. Men- 

 denhall, of Minneapolis; Windmiller& Son, of Mankato, showing tu- 

 berous begonias, and Mr. August S. Swanson of St. Paul. 



The displays of cut flowers were on the table during the second 

 week. There were three changes during the week: First, came the 

 cut flowers tastefullj- arranged; second, table decorations; third, 

 original designs. 



The table decorations were verj' good. Mr. August Swanson ar- 

 ranged a round table and Nagel & Co. an oblong table. 



The original design feature was not so well competed for. Mr. 

 August Swanson took us to a valley in the mountains, showing the 

 wild flowers, running water, trees and moss everywhere. 



In general the show was very good, and those that brought their 

 plants and flowers deserve much credit for their trouble.
