and mayhap float out to sea- but the sentiment
OF the occasion Is served
As death has year by year remorselessly
thinned the ranks OF the Grand Army of the
Republic the Confederate Veterans and other or
PLANTATIONS OF one-time soldiers there has OF
necessity been change In the plan oil bearing
flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the
graves OF those who have answered to the call
OF taps" The approved plan was to have in
each community on the significant day process
sion to the cemetery in which the principal par.
Elephants little girls dressed In white. each
carrying a huge bouquet or basket OF flowers
and marching beside or behind these flower
bearers, an equal number OF veterans. each with
a wreath OF evergreen or holly or ivy on his
arm. When the procession arrived at the GENE
terry the participants distributed themselves
throughout the burying ground until little girl
with flowers and veteran with wreath stood
beside each grave marked with a tiny American
flag Then at a prearranged signal all the flowers
and wreaths we're placed simultaneously upon the
graves OF the comrades whom death has mus
tered out"
This impressive ceremony and there could be
nothing more appropriate. Is yet followed In
countless communities. but there have had to be
many notifications. For one thing the graves
to be decorated have become much more numer-
Gus. whereas the number OF surviving veterans
who able TO march TO the cemetery with
their wreaths has dwindled appreclaby. solu
ton has been found in many places. by drafting
for this task members OF the Sons of Veterans
or other organizations made up Of children OF
old soldiers and also veterans OF the Spanish.
American war, many OF whom are comparatively
young men and who sufficiently numerous
decorate the graves Of their own fallen comrades
and also the resting places OF the heroes OF ths
earlier wars.
Another factor that has operated to influence
a change in the OF flowers on Memorial day
Is the gSowth in the size OF many OF our cities.
In towns and small cities IL is still practicable
for the Decoration day host to march to the GENE
terry but in all the larger cities II has become very
much OF a problem. In many instances cemeteries
are so remote from the central part OF the city
that IL is unwise to ask aged veterans 20 attempt
to march and out OF the question 20 allow flower
girls OF tender years TO trudge through the streets
for hours at a stretch. Consequently II has be
come customary under such circumstances 20
convey the flowers in quantities to the cemeteries
aud there distribute them to those who are to
participate in the decorating program. For this
delivery of flowers the modern motor has
proven a most convenient vehicle and in all our
large cities on the morning Of Memorial day one
may now see the heavily laden flower cars"
spinning along on their way to the ce cemeteries
The speedy horseess vehicles have also proven
a boon in the collecting OF the flowers for

lev lines in order to convey the tons of blooms
needed for the great memorial ornamentaton.
And speaking OF the interurban eec'rc lines
IL may be added that these roads nov make II
possible to decorate with flowers the graves OF
soldiers in many a country cemetery which, un-
dr. the old conditions could not readily be
reached by members of the organizations OF vet
Grams and other bodies that aim 10 sec TO 1t that
no soldiers grave is unadorned ON this Significant
occasion
Almost every known variety OF flowers that
bloom in the spring is employed to greater or
less extent on Decoration day. but naturally tho
wild flowers Of the season are especially popular
for this purpose In the sections where the
season is sufficiently advanced the roses and
peOnies great favorites on this occasion and
in the cooler cmes yioets and the hardy "pinks
are used extensively. In the more southernly
states the yellow Jasmine aud the honeysu
make admirable Decoration day festoons and at
Arlington and other great national cemeteries IL
seems as though Memorial day has been timed
10 ind the gorgeous purple wtstaria at the climax
OF its glory The mountain laurel Is another
floral favorite that lends itself To the purposes
OF the holiday. but OF course 1t is not obtansble
in all sections OF the country
In recent years the OF natural hcwers on
Memorial day has been supplemented by the ex'
tensive of artificial flowers. particularly In
the form OF wreaths or designs emblematic OF
wartime badges flags However. the art
flower designs" OF the present day indeed
a revelation as compared with the crude attempts
OF some years ago Some Of the Decoration day
designs are executed In metal, tinted to counter
felt nature, and this form Is OF course very
permanent but most artistic effects OF lasting
character are also being obtained by means Of
fine waxed crepe paper flowers Such designs
are being employed TO an increasing extent I'M
der all circumstances where II is necessary to
send Memorial day designs long distances. How
ever the White House at Washington. which
sends such remembrances to various parts OF
the country. always employs natural flowers from

the frail products of the hot houses. Indeed the
selection OF May 80 as Memorial day In large
proportion of the states of the union was made
primarily because Il was occasion when spring
was presumed to be in her most attractive garb
and when the spring floral harvest is at its
height Similarly the southern states. being as
