places of the city. Everyone did his 

 best to give the visitors a hearty wel- 

 come. 



One of the many notable features was 

 the floral and electrical parade held 

 Tuesday evening, July 8. Nearly 200 

 automobiles took their places in the 

 parade. The car exhibited by George T. 

 Boucher exhausted a good quantity of 

 American Beauty and red rambler roses, 

 and was fashioned like a yacht and out- 

 lined with 100 electric light bulbs. The 

 effect was pretty and rightly deserved 

 the first prize for the most unique deco- 

 ration. Another car which also won a 

 first prize was that of George B. Hart. 

 This was a pergola the frame of which 

 was made of wire covered with white 

 cloth and artistically decorated with a 

 profusion of rambler roses and Aspara- 

 gus plumosus. There were many other 

 cars of great beauty, but our two flo- 

 rists are to be congratulated on carry- 

 ing, oflf the two first prizes. It is inter- 

 esting to note that there are six Elks 

 belonging to the Eochester Florists ' As- 

 sociation. 



Most of the florists have been inter- 

 ested in the convention, as will be no- 

 ticed. H. E. Wilson had a good window 

 display of purple and white flowers 

 with ribbons to match. The Rochester 

 Floral Co\ had a large emblem, a clock 

 face, thirty-six inches in diameter, made 

 oi paper cape flowers and chenille. Henry 

 P. Neun had a mountain scene with a 

 large herd of elks making their way 

 into the valley. Crosman Bros, used 

 two large emblems, wonderfully ar- 

 ranged and made entirely of seeds, 

 their different colors making a beautiful 

 contrast. The stores of J. B. Keller 

 Sons and Salter Bros, were decorated 

 also.
