CHICAGO'S FLOWER SHOW. 



At Pageant of Progress. 



The promotion of a fine tiovvor «liow 

 ill Section D on the Chicago Municipal 

 I'ier, July 30 to August 14, is in full 

 swing. The flower show itself, which 

 will be in the center of this section, 

 l^romises to be something unusual and 

 possibly the finest ever produced at 

 this time of the year. A. Lange, be- 

 cause of his extensive experience along 

 these lines, has been chosen to lay out 

 the display, leaving sufficient room to 

 allow for contributions to the several 

 contests described below. 



Special attention of F. T. D. mem- 

 bers is called to the fact that orders 

 will be taken for flowers by telegraph 

 at the F. T. D. booth. Telegrams will 

 be signed "Pageant of Progress" and 

 bills should be sent to Florists' Pageant 

 of Progress Committee, Room ."jII, 225 

 North Michigan boulevard, Chicago. 

 An elaborate display is being arranged 

 by Mrs. Stewart, manager of the Bo- 

 hannon Floral Co. The fixtures, such as 

 .1 large icebox, nine feet high, with a 

 cut glass sign across the top, reading, 

 "Say It with Flowers," a marble- 

 topped table, and a workbench, are be- 

 ing supplied by the A. L. Randall Co. 

 The Duro Paper Products Co. is supply- 

 ing boxes to be used in counter sales.

 great. No charge is made for entry to 

 these contests, and entry blanks may be 

 had by any florist upon application to

 of dollars, are donated in merchandise 

 by the Pageant of Progress exposition.

 probably with the consent of the flo- 

 rists' committee. The exposition is 

 looking for a big show from the flo-

BUFFALO FLORISTS' PICNIC. 



Enjoyed by Large Crowd. 



The Buffalo florists held their annual 

 outing Wednesday, July 20, at the Au- 

 tomobile Club, Clarence, X, Y. About 

 300 attended. All the stores were 

 closed at noon so that all could enjoy 

 themselves. Many beautiful and valu- 

 able prizes were awarded the winners 

 in the eighteen events. In all, fifty- 

 four prizes were distributed. A deli- 

 cious supper was served by the Auto- 

 mobile Club steward. During the meal 

 a blue silvertone wicker floor lamp was 

 won by Miss Rose Burkhard. After the 

 meal the festivities were transferred to 

 the spacious ballroom, where many en- 

 joyed tripping the light fanta.stic. 

 During the afternoon ice cream cones, 

 soft drinks, popcorn, etc., were dis- 

 tributed to the children free of charge. 

 There were several of the youngsters 

 unable to participate in the sports ow- 

 ing to the generosity of the ice cream 

 and popcorn venders, but this did not 

 dampen their spirits, as they all prom- 

 ised to be on hand again next year.
