MOTHERS' DAY AT SALT LAKE. 



According to newspaper reports, the 

 ladies of Salt Lake City have been active 

 and enthusiastic this year, as they were 

 last year, in promoting the observance of 

 Mothers' day. The reports, however, do 

 not indicate clearly whether the prepara- 

 tions for the day have been conducted 

 in such a manner as to be specially profit- 

 able to the florists. In order to have 

 enough suitable flowers for the occasion, 

 the club women placed large orders with 

 California florists, one order alone in- 

 cluding 10,000 choice white carnations. 

 Booths and stands for the sale of the 

 flowers have been erected in department 

 stores and other convenient places and 

 are superintended by young ladies ap- 

 pointed by the women's club. The mana- 

 gers of several stores offered to cooperate 

 with the women by erecting and decorat- 

 ing booths. Florists of the city were also 

 requested to lay in large stocks of white 

 carnations. 



While any flower may be used as the 

 floral emblem on this day, the white car- 

 nation is the official flower among the 

 club women of Salt Lake City.

H. A. Winter, manager of the Charles- 

 ton Cut Flower & Plant Co., says that 

 Mothers' day last year brought an ex- 

 ceptionally good sale and that he ex- 

 pects to double the business for the day 

 this season. Governor Glasscock has is- 

 sued a Mothers' day proclamation which 

 may be of interest to florists generally. 

 It is as follows: 



Tbe beaatlful castom of settlntr apart one 

 day In each year to pay Just tribute to our 

 mpthers should not be abandoned or forgotten. 

 Onr days of youth may be over, and the closer 

 tlfaB that bound us to our mother may baye been 

 loooened, but not a link In tbe chain of afTection 

 tUat bound her heart to ours has been broken, 

 •ad we think of mother today as we always 

 di^, the noblest, sweetest and best of all God's 

 creatures. 



In appreciation of the love and devotion of 

 car mothers, and with an earnest desire to per- 



rtuate the observance of the hallowed custom, 

 William E. Glasscock, Governor of tbe State 

 •f West Virginia, request that 



SUNDAY, MAY 8, 1910, 

 iw observed by all cborefaes-as

■ad that all persons attend cbnrcb on that day 

 and wear a white carnation.
