FLORISTS' AUTOMOBILES. 



There was an automobile parade in In- 

 dianapolis IMarch 2(5, in which tho.se flo- 

 rists fortunate enough to possess motor 

 vehicles were represented. In eaidi case 

 the florists went to considerable pains to 

 decorate their vehicles to the best advan- 

 tage and the accompanying illustrations 

 show the results obtained. The Wiegand 

 machine is for pleasure, while the Berter- 

 mann outfit is purely utilitarian. Carna- 

 tions were used by each decorator and in 

 considerable quantity. The florists had 

 the most attractive turnouts in the pa- 

 lade.
