Almost every known variety Of flowers that
bloom in the spring is employed to greater or
less extent on Decoration day, but naturally the
wild flowers of the season are especially popular
for this purpose. In the sections where the
season is sufficiently advanced the roses and
peonies are great favortes on this occasion ana
in the cooler cmes violets and the hardy 'pinks
are used extensively. In the more southernly
states the yellow Jasmine and the honeysuckle
make admirable Decoration day festoons and at
Arlington and other great national cemeteries II
seems as though Memorial day has been timed
to find the gorgeous purple wistaria at the climax
of it's glory The mountain laurel Is another
floral favorite that lends itself to the purposes
of the holiday, but of course it is not obtanable
In all sections of the country.
In recent years the of natural flowers on
Memorial day has been supplemented by the ex-
tensive use of artificial flowers particularly in
the form of wreaths or designs embematic OF

flower designs" of the present day are 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 increasing extent I'M
der all circumstances where it 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 vast preponderance of the flowers that are
used to express the love and gratitude of the
people of the republic on the yearly-recurring
memorial day are home grown posies whose cul'
ovation with view to such ultimate use is as
much labor of love as is the strewing of the
blossoms on the graves. Or, at least the flowers
are Tor the most part garden blooms rather than
'he trail products of the hot houses. Indeed the
selection of May 80 as Memorial day in large
aproportion of the states of the union made
primarily because it was an occasion when spring
was presumed to be in her most attractive garb
ana when the spring floral harvest Is at its
height Similarly the southern states, being
sured an abundance of flowers at yet earlier
yates, have, as much for this for any
other, chosen Memorial day dates that seemed

of the occasion is served.
AS death has year by year remorselessy

flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the

American war, many of whom comparatively

Another factor that has operated to influence

is the growth in the size of many OF cities

for the Decoration day host to march to the ceme-

are so remote from the central part of the city
that 1t is unwise to ask aged veterans to attempt
to march and out of the question to allow flower
girls of tender to trudge through the streets
