INDIANA STATE FAIR. 



Flower Exhibits Excellent. 



The Indiana state fair . was lield a 

 week earlier than usual, beginning Sep- 

 tember 1, and lasted a day longer than 

 usual. The floral display was especially 

 attractive. In spite of the scarcity of 

 v;ood blooms, the exhibits of cut flowers 

 A\ere excellent. In this class were roses, 

 carnations, gladioli, asters, dahlias and 

 cannas. In all of these competition was 

 keen. 



The two big i)rizcs were those for the 

 100 square feet of potted plants most 

 effectively arranged and for the best 

 large floral arrangement. The Roepke 

 Floral Co. received the blue ribbon on 

 tlie former, having an elaborate collec- 

 tion of unusual plants, including crotons, 

 araucarias, palms, ferns, asters and vari- 

 ous other fancy-leaved plants. E. E. 

 Temperley took first prize on tlie floral 

 .•irrangement with a large and handsome 

 l>iece, on which the words, " Say It with 

 Flowers," were formed of pink carna- 

 tions interspersed with tiny rosebuds 

 against a background of white asters. 

 Setting this off, as a sort of frame, was 

 a scroll of flowers shading delicately 

 from white to a deep pink. Asters, 

 gladioli, roses and gold-lianded lilies 

 were UM'd for this. An effective bow of 

 white tuli( edged with shaded green rib- 

 bon coinph ted the design. 



The Roepke Floral Co. took second 

 p-.ize with an attractive willow piece, 

 a fernery, aquarium and bird-cage in one, 

 which was massed with Sweetheart and 

 ( lithelia i oses. 



Potted Plants. 



Some e^■(M'l]('ll^]l(ltt(■(^ ]ilaiits were dis- 

 )jlaycd. Baiir & St('inkaiii|) liail some 

 exceptionally well grown coleus and an 

 enormous Adiaiitum cuneatum that was 

 exceptionally hcautifnl. P]. E. Temjyer- 

 ley 's collection of fei'ns, ])egonias and 

 \ariegated l(':i\('(l ]i]aiits wiis splendid. 

 The Roepke Floral Co. received the blue 

 ribbon on a fine sj)ecimen of the crested 

 form of ne])lii'olepis. This tirm and Wal- 

 ter Lewis were the only exhibitors of 

 riil)rum lilies. 



The made uj) work always attracts the 

 most attention. The wreaths, vases, 

 baskets and lirides' bouquets catch the 

 eye of the jiublic, wVio had no ejiuse for 

 disajipointmeiit this ye;ir, ;is the dis- 

 ]'lay was larger aiid liettei' than that of 

 last year.
