New York, Oct 22-The Republican
sound money parade of November 3 will
be a floral exhibit as well as a parade in
the interest of the Republican presiden-

natural pink, will wear buttons with a
pictured pink and the motto: I'VE will
bloom again for Mckinley and Roose-
velt-' They have given orders to local
florists to bring to the city 100000 carna-
ton pinks for the occasion
A Broadway florist, who has an order
for 100 600, said today:
1T is perfectly easy to gather in 20O,-
900 pinks for this occasion. We place
our orders with the producers of pinlxs
in all the country round about, and
bring thousands from as far west as
Wisconsin. The growers gather the flow
ers when they reach perfection, put them
in cold storage, and deliver them on the
morning when they are wanted.
The price Will average $50 a thou
sand.
''Some will probably cost 81 apiece"
