the next meeting. Shortly before the 

 adjournment of the meeting, Dr. A. J. 

 Knapp, of Evansville, Ind., announced, 

 amid applause, that he had been so im- 

 pressed by the meeting that he would 

 like to join the association and also 

 that he was going home to plant thirty- 

 five more acres of peonies, on the 

 strength of these bright prospects for 

 the trade. 



Florists* Floats. 



The trade feels itself worthy of some 

 congratulation on the fact that the 

 gold and silver medals for the best 

 decorated automobile trucks in the 

 parade May 14, in honor of the opening 

 of the Michigan boulevard bridge, were 



won by floats of the Allied Florists' 

 Association and the Fleischmau Floral 

 Co., respectively. In view of the large 

 number and splendid variety of the 

 floats in the parade, such commendation 

 is felt to be doubly well earned. 



The float entered by the Allied Flo- 

 rists' Association was thought, by the 

 many members of the trade who saw it, 

 to be the most elaborately decorated 

 floral car ever seen in Chicago. The 

 investment it represented at prevailing 

 prices caused considerable comment. 

 It is stated that 50,000 flowers were 

 used. They were contributed by the 

 various wholesale houses and were all 

 good stock. 



The work of decorating the car was 



done by Arthur Weatherwax, of W- J- 

 Smyth's staff, and Peter Miller, fi ni 

 George Wienhoeber 's, with able as? st- 

 ance of an executive sort from J '^^ 

 Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co. 



Through the latter agency the tr' jk 

 was borrowed from the H. E. Gibb us 

 Box Co. It was first completely dra; -d 

 with lavender cloth. Along the sit s, 

 in large gold letters, was the slop "• 

 "Say It with Flowers," and on an a.ch 

 supported by two of the columns of 

 roses on each side appeared the wonlS; 

 in smaller gold letters, "Boost <^ 'i^' 

 cago. " Cattleyas decorated tlx'se 

 arches. In addition to the columns on 

 the sides, roses were used on the fr'int 

 of the float and also filled a huge g'jl"
