and mayhap float out to sea, but the sentiment
OF the occasion is served.
AS death has year by year remorseessly
thnned the ranks of the Grand Army of the
Republic the Confederate Veterans and other
CARNATIONS of one-time soldiers there has OF
necessity been change in the plan of bearing
flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the
graves of those who have answered to the call
OF taps" The approved plan to have in
each community on the significant day a process
sion to the cemetery in which the principal par
Elephants little girls dressed in white each
carrying huge bouquet basket Of flowers
and, marching beside behind these flower
bearers, an equal number of veterans, each with
a wreath of evergreen holly or ivy on his
arm. When the procession arrived at the ceme-
terry the participants distributed themselves
throughout the burying ground until a little girl
with MOWERS and a veteran with a wreath stood
beside each grave marked with a tiny American
nag. Then at a prearranged signal all the flowers
and wreaths were 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 he
many modifications. For thing the graves
to be decorated have become much more numer
Gus, whereas the number of surviving veterans
who are able to march to the cemetery with
their wreaths has dwindled appreciably A 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 Spanisb
American war, many of whLm are comparativeIv
young men and who sufficiently numerous IN
decorate the graves of their own fallen comrades
and also the resting places of the heroes of tba
earlier waIs.
Another factor that has operated to influence
change in the of flowers on Memorial dav
is the growth in the size of many OF our cities
In towns and small cities it is still practicable
for the Decoration day host to march to the ceme
terry but in all the larger cities has become very
much OF a problem In many instances cemeteries
are so remote from the central part of the citv
that 1t is unwise to ask aged veterans to attemnt
to march and out of the question to allow flower
girls of tender years to trudge through the streets
for hours at stretch. Consequently il has no
come customary under such circumstances m
convey the flowers in quantities to the cemeteries
and there distribute them to those who arc 70
participate in the decorating program For tbis
delivery of flowers the modern motor car has
proven most convenient vehicle and in all o,r

TO whose interest it is to make their activities
occupy as large placeAas possible in the public
eye. AT Memorial day, the other hand the
regular flower marts. although they have rush
season In consequence of the holiday supply
but fraction of the flowers that are placed on
the graves of the nations warriors
The vast preponderance of the flowers that are
used TO express the love and gratitude of the
people of the republic on the yearlyrecurring
Memorial day are homegrown posies whose cul.
ovation with view to such ultimate use is as
much labor OF love is the strewing of the
blossoms on the graves. Or at least the flowers
are Tor the most part garden blooms rather than
the frail products of the hot houses Indeed the
selection of May 80 Memorial day in a large
proportion of the states of the union was made
primarily because it an 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
sured an abundance of flowers at yet earlier
oates, have, as much for this reason as for any
other, chosen as Memorial day dates that seemed
to mark the elimination of the floral flood in
their respective states rather than strict con-
formity with the date at the end of May which
is so universally observed in the eastern north
ern and western states and in the more northerly
OF the commonwealths of Dixie. This will ex-
plain why certain of the states notably those
OF the Gulf Of Mexico, observe Memorial day
days or weeks in advance of the remainder of
the sisterhood of states
The use of flowers on Memorial day is varied
and appears to be growing more so as time goes
on AT first suggestion of the occasion the
reader is apt to think only of the custom of plac
ing bouquets and wreaths in garIands on the
grassy mounds beneath which repose in their
last dreamless sleep the boys in blue and gray
who gave up their lives in defense of their flag
But as a matter OF fact it is a longestablshed
custom for the American people generally to
choose this occasion to place specially elaborate
decorations upon the graves of loved ones even
though those whose memory is thus honored had
naught to do with the stress and strife the
sacrifices of which Memorial day is primarily
intended to Commemorate
One of the comparatively new uses of flowers
on Memorial day. which has grown greatly in
recent years, is the custom of placing wreaths
of floral festoons other similar tributes upon
the statues which have been erected in the
various American cities to our wartime heroes
At the national capital, where there are more
than two dozen such statues, the pedestals are
also draped with American flags This decora-
tion of the statues in parks and public buildings
throughout the land is, of course quite aside
from the usual placing of tributes at the graves
of these self-same heroes. Another interesting

lev lines in order to convey the tons of blooms
needed for the great memorial ornamentation
And, speaking of the interurban electro lines
it may be added that these roads new make Il
possible to decorate with flowers the graves OF
soldiers in many country cemetery which I'm.
der the old conditions, could not readily be
reached by members OF the organizations OF vet.
Grams and other bodies that aim to see to it that
soldiers grave is unadorned on this significant
occasion.
Almost every known variety OF flowers that
bloom in the spring is employed to a greater or
less extent on Decoration day, but naturally the
wild flowers of the season especially popular
for this purpose In the sections where the
season is sufficiently advanced the roses and
peonies are great favortes on this occasion and
In the cooler climes violets and the hardy "pnks"
are used extensively. In the more southerny
states the yellow jasmine and the honeysuckle
make admirable Decoration day festoons and at
