The violet received the largest
number of votes, but neither flower
received a majority, which demun-
strated that the pupils voted their
choice and should the same division of
taste exist all over the state no choice
will be made, for there will not be a
majority for either of the flowers in
cluded in the list to be voted for as
sent out by the Superintendent Of

many beautiful flowers in Wisconsin
