often call for our greatest efforts in designing. A wedding is pretty when 

 the work is well done; when the bouquet-holders are of soft-colored, delicate 

 lace; when the baskets are well proportioned and finished in good taste; 

 when the gauze chiffon harmonizes with the flowers and frocks; when there 

 are novel or unusual features cleverly brought out, such as shepherds' crooks, 

 directoire staffs or arm baskets— these and many other little touches make 

 a wedding pretty.

florists also made wreaths for use on 

 the graves of old soldiers and others. 

 Some who have greenhouses of their 

 own and who grew thousands of bed- 

 ding plants for the trade found a ready 

 sale at good prices. During the pre- 

 ceding two weeks, there had been con- 

 siderable rainy, damp weather, and this 

 caused the leaves of the geraniums to 

 turn a little yellow, but three or four 

 days of sunshine immediately before 

 Memorial day brought the plants back 

 into good trim. Carnations are still 

 high-priced; local florists have to pay 

 3 and 4 cents each at wholesale in the 

 New York markets. Cut roses are still 

 selling well; Beauties and Tafts are 

 especially popular. Both greenhouse 

 and outdoor valley is plentiful and still 

 sells in good quantities. Lilacs are 

 getting past their prime and, although 

 some good flowers are still coming into
