The Indiana Floral Festival began this
week to actively push its advertising cam

Tomlinson Hall the week Of Nov. 10. The
work of making it known that Indianapolis
is to have an autumn festival of blossoms

festival promoters are decorating all the

ways impressing upon the people Of the
State that the coming show is to outrank
anything of it's kind in America.

is too far away to be regarded as a real
competitor, even among exhibitors. A COM

floral festivals shows that the Indianap-

Society of American Florists. It is said
that the flowers that win those medals
will at once leap into national fame among

The festival promoters are especially d.

in fifteen weekly newspapers in as many

colors, the work of Mrs. d. w. Coffin, of
this city. 1t is rare that an artist working
without the idea of professional attain
ment does the excellent work which Mrs
Coffin shows, for many Of her pictures are
genuine gems of water color. Mrs. Coffin
has done much work in oils, but it is only
within the past few years that she has
adopted water color a medium, though
one would argue rather long familiarity
from her accomplishment. She works rap
idly and uses her brush without prelim-

strives.

are landscapes and the best of them are
