If you were at the Grant County
Fair last week you probably noticed
the fine floral display from Stratton 8
Greenhouse. 1t was located in the
southeast corner of the art hall and
was surely worthy of mention. The
foliage plants, ferns and many other
kinds were displayed tasterully on
benches across the corner. while in
the center was a large horseshoe
shaped piece made Of cut flowers.
One who takes no interest in plants
and flowers would see nothing strange
in such a piece but those who handle
them know that much time must be
given t. make a good display, In
that one center piece over 400 flowers
were carefully worked to say nothing
of the green trimming aud binding
used 70 make it substantial.
