Flower Display.
Mrs. Fred Jorgensen, Mrs. F. T
Thompson and Mrs. Harold Diet
were appointed some time ago by the
Askov Garden club as a committee
to be in charge of an early flower
display. This committee is now
pleased to announce that June "a has
been selected as the date, and the
place is the town hall on Main street
This display is suited especially fol
peonies and irises, but all other early
varieties are also welcome. The only
way the display can become sue
cess is if everyone will become in
terested and bring in the best they
have; weather conditions have been
such that only few flowers are per-
feet. Exhibits will be accepted by
the committee at the hall from a. m
until 2 p. m. Another feature is that
they will sell coffee and pie and ice
cream all afternoon and evening. An
advertisement elsewhere in this issue
gives additional information relative
to the event. Remember the date
Saturday, June "a, town hall.
