SEPTBSfBBM T, 1911.

 only two papers were read : ' ' The Care 

 of Plants in Parks and Lawns," by J. 

 D. T. Fulmer, and * ' Suggestions on Flo- 

 rists ' Supplies, ' ' by Eoy Wilcox. 



LOUISVILU:, KY. 



The Elks' aviation meet, on the heels 

 of which followed the Kentucky state 

 fair, offered the occasion for the Louis- 

 ville florists to primp up by means of 

 novel and attractive windows. The 

 city was thronged with sight-seeing vis- 

 itora, coming: in from all directions, and 

 the competition for recognition was 

 strenuous. Enterprising activity was 

 in evidence throughout the retail dis- 

 tricts, and the florists, though given a 

 good race, easily held their own with 

 beautiful window and store displays. 



One of the catchiest and most novel 

 window displays was that of C. B. 

 Thompson & Co. A 4-foot operating 

 aeroplane, decorated in Elks' colors, 

 pulled and tugged at invisible wires 

 and appeared as if, at any moment, it 

 might dart out through the glass, the 

 propeller being revolved rapidly with 

 the aid of electric fans. The ground 

 was a bed of green, with white and 

 purple asters forming the letters B. P. 

 O. E., and the back was banked with 

 ferns and palms, from which the rays 

 of a small, powerful searchlight were 

 thrown on the throbbing machine. 

 Many visitors called to compliment 

 Mrs. Thompson upon the work of her 

 window dresser, Miss Nellie B. Able, 

 but Mrs. Thompson is in Michigan at 

 present, on her vacation. P. F. M. 



Ottawa, m. — Lohr Bros., who are 

 '■ operating the King greenhouses, have 

 ; their stock in good shape and cut the 

 •first carnations of the season Septem-
