The decorations for the automobile 

 «how, held here February 28 to March 

 5, were the best and most elaborate ever 

 arranged in this city. The show was held 

 in Convention hall, one of the largest 

 auditoriums in America, and the plan 

 ■conceived was to represent a pleasure 

 park. 



The decoration on the main floor carried 

 '■out the idea of a sunken garden. The 

 walks were laid out through the green 

 lawns and were bordered with trees in 

 full bloom. The trees on this floor num- 

 beied sixty-five, and averaged twenty- 

 five feet in height. The branches were 

 twined with wild smilax and literally 

 ■covered with artificial apple-blossoms. 

 There were 3,000 gross of apple-blossoms 

 vsed. 



Painted scenery was placed in such a 

 way as to produce a good imitation of a 

 terrace around the sunken garden, and 

 scenery representing park, drives, trees, 

 ■etc., was used to surround the driveway 

 on top of the terrace. On this terrace 

 ■drive, blooming trees, plants, palms, wild 

 fimilax, etc., were used effectively in com- 

 ibination with the rest, making the whole 

 scene stfikingly realistic. 



Overhead was hung a blue cloth dome, 

 which at night twinkled with electric- 

 light stars, and electric lights were also 

 ■strung through the trees. 



At one end of the hall was suspended a 

 full-sized working model of a flying ma- 

 ■chine, with the motor running. At the 

 -other end of the hall was also suspended 

 a huge automobile, made of white flowers 

 and drawn by a flock of doves. 



The contract was let to the American 

 Decorating Co., and the floral part of the 

 ■decorations was carried out by the Alpha 

 Floral Co., of this city. 



Marysville, Kan. — H. R. Fisher, for- 

 merly with Simanton & Pence, of Falls 

 ■City, Neb., now in partnership with D. 

 Von Beisen, has purchased the green- 

 bouses of P. A. Hammett, in this city. 

 Messrs. Fisher and Von Beisen expect to 

 •considerably enlarge the greenhouses in 

 the near future. 



West Salem, III. — During the coming 

 summer T. E. Hallbeck will build a 

 greenhouse for the purpose of growinj a 

 general line of flowers, as well as lettuce. 

 By means of the Illinois Central railroad, 

 West Salem is directly connected with 

 the city of Evansville, Ind., which will be 

 a good point to ship to. Mr. Hallbeck 

 not only expects to grow for the whole- 

 sale market, but will retail cut flowers 

 and make funeral designs also. The soil 

 in this part of the state is quite suitable 

 for the culture of roses, as well as most 

 of the other plants he will grow.
