JUNE'S FLORAL DISPLAY.

Uncle John" Thorpe Provides Fine
Programme for the Month.
June is fine month for flowers as
as we'll as for weddings and will not
be ignored by Uncle John" Thorpe
and his assistants During the latter
part of May the great flower beds about
the big greenhouses have blossomed
with a display of pansies and tulips
that have challenged the admiration of
observers.
This month the pansies will be in all
their glory. Tulips will be about out,
but there are many other flowers to
take their place. Peonies will be out
in the greatest profusion. The big red
and white blossoms will make the
flower beds about the greenhouses look
like natural carpets. On the wooded
island all the hardy Towering plants
will be in bloom and that will be the
prettiest spot in the fair grounds.
Roses will not be forgotten. nor will
they be missed in the floral display for
the month The great variety of the
flower affords an opportunity for un-
commonly fine displays. and the chances
will be made the most OF. Designs will
be worked out in them, and the display
will be literally acres of roses"
Rhododendrons are flowers of great
beauty and adaptibility for display
work, and they will be found by their
admirers in profusion. So will the
campanulas, pretty. bell-shaped blue
flowers. So far no particular displays
have been arranged for special days,
but later such plans will be matured
All in all. the floral features for the
month OF June will be unexcelled dur
ing the time of the fair. 1t will be the
month par excellence for lovers Of
nature in flowers and foliage to go to

Manufactures hall and Electricity build

the next in size through the second and
so on until all have been dropped into

exhibit is one of great interest, in that
the entire process of getting diamonds
