tity and some valley and Easter lilies 

 are to be had and auratums, too. Gla- 

 dioli have come to stay, one would judge, 

 from the way they have settled down 

 in conspicuous places. 



Some wedding work is in sight for 

 August. Little funeral work has been 

 called for this week. 



Variottt Notes. 



The windows have shown an interest- 

 ing variety in flowers and arrangement 

 also. Miss Armstrong's display piece 

 was a bridge of white and Enchantress 

 carnations, with a ribbon span, and ap- 

 proaches trimmed with sweet peas and 

 galax. 



Hoyt Bros. Co. had for one decoration 

 two wicker screens, halfway back to the 

 window, set wide apart. Draperies of 

 white silk hung between the screens. In 

 front were Pteris tremula and pot 

 adiantums, with a tall vase of pink 

 gladioli on one side and a hanging twig 

 basket of Countess Spencer peas in the 

 other. Cocos and more ferns were 

 grouped behind the screens. Another 

 decoration was a group of pillows in red 

 and white, one square and two of regu- 

 lation shape. The firm has also added 

 another decorative feature outside of its 

 store, in the shape of a large camp-kettle 

 filled with geraniums, vincas and lobelias. 

 Below are planted salvias and abutilons. 



A well known member of the trade re- 

 cently had his occupation defined, to his 

 evident amusement, for he told on him- 

 self. He was waiting for his car, early 

 one morning, when along came a gentle- 

 man of the pick and spade persuasion. 

 "Sure, and what's your job!" the 

 stranger asked our florist friend. "I'm 

 a florist," was the reply. "O, yis, " 

 said he of the ready tongue, "one of 

 thim fellows what lays thim fancy 

 floors. ' ' 



The management of the Crescent, a 

 leading department store of the city, has 

 announced its intention of keeping the 

 store decorated for the remainder of the 

 summer, one week with peas, another 

 with gladioli, another with gaillardias, 

 followed by daisies, phlox and so on down 

 the list. While not attempting anything 

 elaborate, it shows an appreciation of 

 the value of flowers for a commercial 

 place.
