 Melanie Soupert. The principal com- 

 petition was between two blooms of the 

 same variety. The usual number of ex- 

 hibits were entered and the attendance 

 was large.

 the Society of the Yellow Dog. 



Clarke Bros, sent more than 1,000 

 flats of potted stock to the floral center. 



Julius Dossche, "Seottie" and Tom 

 PoUuck worked all night placing the 

 potted roses on the rose fountain. 



Yellow shrubby calceolarias will be 

 in great demand next year. They were 

 much admired in the exhibits. 



The regular meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society will be held June 20. 

 Final reports on festival matters and 

 the annual election of oflBcers will be 

 the features of the session. 



The new rose, George Arends — 

 Pink Druschki — is mentioned as a 

 strong competitor of Mme. Caroline 

 Testout, now the official rose of Port- 

 land. Some fine bushes of the new rose 

 were exhibited by the Mountain View 

 Floral Co. 



The "flower lady" in the trade ex- 

 hibit of the Swiss Floral Co. attracted 

 much attention. 



Among the prize-winning floats was 

 one by the Jefferson high school, deco- 

 rated by Max Smith; one by Washing- 

 ton high school, by Clarke Bros., and a 

 private automobile decorated by the 

 Floral Studio. Several fine floats were 

 decorated by the florists and entered as 

 non-competing. Not one of the florists 

 entered his car, as he had too much 

 work on hand. 



Several blocks in the central busi- 

 ness district were decorated, at the ex- 

 pense of the business men, with cedar

 movement was started too late to get 

 the baskets in good shape and the gar- 

 lands would have looked better without 

 the baskets. 



James Forbes was ' ' mightily tickled ' ' 

 because the rose exhibit of his home 

 community won first prize. 



B. Van Blirk was seen on the street 

 wearing a crown of the size of two large 

 wash tubs. Later it was discovered that 

 he was not competing with King Joy, 

 but was taking up the headpiece for 

 the float of the Eoyal Arcanum. 



The large urns that lined the prom-
