the splendid floral exhibit that is being
brought together by Florist Charles
Doylin, who has charge of this depart
ment The Lagoon display will, of
course, be more extensive than that Of
any individual florist in the county, for
the reason that ~. Boylin has such an
abundant supply Of plants and flowers
to select from,
Those who during the past summer
months have admired the beautiful
lawns and flower beds of the Lagoon,
but who have never seen the resort
when arrayed in its autumnal robes,
should run out there during the coming
week. Yesterday the beds of asters,
nodding in vari i-colored beauty on every
hand, the stately dahlias, the profusion
and many other varieties of blooming
plants, presented a charming picture,
and with the sun IS warmth inviting one
10 the shady grass plats, it was difficult
TO imagine that it was the last of Sep

never more inviting, and the delight of
lunching in its shady retreats was
never more enhancing.
