Gladlolitt Display. 



At the annual exhibition of the But- 

 ler County Agricultural Society, held at 

 Butler, Pa., August 20 to 24, Jesse A. 

 Heydrick made an exhibit of gladiolus 

 blooms, which was quite unusual at such 

 exhibitions and a very meritorious one. 



Mr, Heydrick has been growing these 

 bulbs for twenty-five years and, although 

 he is not a florist, is an expert in the 

 growing of gladioli. He had on exhibi- 

 tion, on this occasion, about 6,000 of the 

 finest blooms, 2,500 of which he produced 

 from seedlings grown in his own garden. 

 Many of these were rare and beautiful. 

 The balance of the exhibit was furnished 

 to Mr. Heydrick by John Lewis Childs 

 and Arthur Cowee, who are well-known 

 growers. 



This display was arranged along one 

 side of a long hall and the stems were 

 inserted in long boxes filled with sand, 

 which was damp, thus keeping the blooms 

 fresh during the four days of the ex- 

 hibition. This display was doubtless the 

 finest ever made in the floral line at any 

 fair in Pennsylvania. As the work of an 

 amateur grower, Mr. Heydrick 's success 

 in producing new and fine seedlings, in 

 this line, has been marvelous. He has 

 20,000 bulbs in his collection this vear.

PEACE ON BOTH SIDES. 



A traveling salesman died suddenly in 

 Pittsburg, Pa., and some of his friends 

 telegraphed to the undertaker an order 

 to make a large wreath. Investigation 

 showed that the telegram ordering the 

 wreath read as follows: 



' ' Rest in peace, ' ' on both sides of 

 the ribbon; if there should be room, 

 ' ' We shall meet in heaven. ' ' 



The undertaker was out of town and 

 the new assistant handled the job. It 

 was a startling floral piece which turned 

 up at the funeral. The ribbon was ex- 

 tra wide and it bore the inscription: 



* ' Rest in peace on both sides and if 

 there is room we shall meet in heaven."
