of beautiful floral work in colors.
A pillow was another considerable piece be-
ing of full life size. Dahlias and gladiolus
with white balsams were extensively eni-
ployed in this and really in these large
pieces dahias are extremely effective. Ihe
mold board was heliotrope, the handles
pink and the cross beam of golden abutiion
and heliotrope. A camp or folding chairwas
one of the pieces shown by the Floral COM
pany that was most exquisitely done. The
back and seat were pure white with sprigs OF
green and green band around with border
of bright red, upon the buck end seat were
roses of deep crimson, branch leaf ana
flower in alto relieve and the effect
was superb. The lower frame work
was smilax. This was much admired.
A Tyre, near five feet in height, at anotaer
time we would have thought superb, was re-
ally greatly admired. A balloon was also a
conspicuous and pretty piece of work. The
tops of the globe was pink balsams, below
this band of eupatorium and tuberoses;
next these a bright ring of gadiolus,
another white and the under side longitu-
dinally striped white and red and crimson.
The cordage smilax and the car below fes-
tooned with scarlet and white and pink
in band with rosebuds and tnberoses strewn
through. A large picture frame OF white eu-
patorium, and bands of pink and red bal
sam, contained basket filled with a
bouquet of flowers. Four cubes of which
the sides were white, pink and red bal
sans were suspended near a red
powder-fask, gun of white eupatorium.
and canoe of pink balsams. A basket of
oval shape, some five bv two feet, was filled
with the most superb flowers that bloom.
Its arrangement was exquisite beyond the
power of language to describe, and was the
admiration of everybody who saw it. The
bouquets alongside we're also something
that merit more than a passing
notice. Roses that are not exceeded in the
famed Valley of Cashmere, violets, and
these in great clusters rs you would gather
from the gardens in June. This is not more
than an imperfect description of the dis
play made by the Floral Company, but the
jam was so great that these notes we're OBJ
tained with difficulty.
The Messrs Sunderbruch had a fine dis
play of excellent work. as is usual with
this house. A scale balance was one OF the
most exquisite flral pieces that has been
shown. The balances were worked as finely
as wedding bouquet in exquisite flowers.
The cords we're of smilax, the balance in
lines of pink balsams, tuberoses and hello
trope; the rest at the top ageratum and
pretty bit OF floral work in colors. This
exquisite piece received first premium for
best single piece of suspended work. An
oval basket, some five by three feet, was as
fine work as one is often permitted to see.
The bed or ground work was white in
which delicate flowers were worked with
the eye of an artist as to giving value to
Thn ,tnr rusnn
star of sweet volets, in which were set
roses, beautiful as dream. On each side
next the edge were two figures in pale
pink, and at either end in golden Mares
Brevav, Madame Bosquet La Margue, and
white roses, illlmined, or rather embroid-
fronds OF amabile adiantum ightened the
figures upon this beautiful bas-
ket. A few of the delicate porcelain
blue torrena asiatica cleaned amid the
other flowers and pale heliotrope gave the
scent of vanilla. Beg MIA green, smiax in
long trailing masses, and lvcopodinm
frineed this basket befttingly. This basket
ought to make the Messrs. Sunderbruchs
reputation as florists of the highest taste.
A balloon of fair, delicate flowers was
another of Messrs. Sunderbruchs fine pieces.
White eupatoriums, balsams, the buds of
the creamy safrano roses delicate green.
were beautifully arranged. The car held by
cords of srnilax was to correspond with the
globe above. A cornucopia near three feet
in length was extremely neat. A
magnificent floral bell some two
and half feet in diameter was con-
structed with the usual excellent taste
they display in this work. Another oval
basket was in their collection not so pleas
ing as that described, but beautifully ar
ranged nevertheless. A chandelier was
shown having six branches each, wreath
of flowers exquisitely worked, while above
we're three additional ones Smilax sus-
pended this in cords of, delicate green. A
ball of pretty flowers was suspended below,
filled beautifully with flowers. A well
curb, with sweep, the curb formed entire
ly of flowers in profusion. was much looked
at. The flowers in this were coarser than
in the other of their work, as perhaps was
proper III this sort Of subject, but was not
as pleasing though there was sentiment in
the verse appended OF the song:
The old Oaken bucket,
The mosscovered bucket,
The iron bound bucket
That hung in the WELL
| The sweep was wound with ivy vines, and
the pole with snilax green. a most happy
and poetic addition to the attraction of the
show that gave them the premium on best
display of suspended floral work.
This consisted Of an eagle poised
above a cornucopia. The natural bird
| was perfect in form and action.
