FLOWERS AND FRUITS

Elaborate Shows of Both at Indiana State Fair. The Indiana- State Florists’ association .is taking an active interest in making the flower show at the State Fair a glowing success this year. The association arranged the premium list so that it would be attractive to professional growers, and the amateur flower growers' are also well provided for. Women from both town and farm who cultivate flowers about their homes will find open to them many classes in the fair’s show. Special features in flowers have been provided for each day of the fair. David Wallace of Indianapolis, who for years has been active in the management of the fair, will have charge of the flower show as well as the table luxury department, another division of the fair that is very popular. The choicest products of Indiana home kitchens will be displayed, including breadstuffs, pastries and preserved fruits, and the prizes offered the amateur exhibitors are very inviting. Fruit from Indiana soil by Indiana growers makes up another division of Mr. Wallace’s department, and it is always in keeping with the quality and quantity of the iioosier crop. Some of the best orchards and some of the more active horticultural societies are always represented in the fruit show by large exhibits.
