up, the flowers are arranged on a slope 

 80 that they closely resemble a pillow. 

 The low handle of the basket is often 

 partly hidden by flowers. The firm us- 

 ing these baskets affects bright colors 

 in funeral arrangements. The firm 

 will use white flowers when asked to 

 do so, but recommends colors as less 

 cold; brightness as a suggestion of life 

 hereafter. 



The Race. 



The rose exhibits at the Florists' 

 Club last week were of unusual interest. 

 The show tables arranged in the ban- 

 quet room of the Adelphia hotel, not 

 on the roof garden as incorrectly stated 

 in last week's report, showed the wis- 

 dom of an exhibition of indoor-grown 

 roses in May. Not only was the stock 

 of high quality, but opportunity was 

 afforded for comparison between the old 

 and new sorts. Probably the chief point 

 of interest to most of those present was 

 comparison between Premier and Mrs. 

 Charles Eussell. So similar are these 

 two varieties that one of the experts 

 who saw the box of Premier being un- 

 packed thought they were Eussell. 

 When both varieties were arranged and 

 staged the difference was more appar- 

 ent. Russell had the advantage of a 

 winter's rest and a short journey. With 

 these advantages Russell had the best 

 of it that night. The growers believe 

 that Premier is the better rose from 

 their point of view. The sellers want
