T is difficult to imagine America's annual Memorial day without flowers. Indeed. Decoration day. the other name by wh ca this spring commemorative fesfxal is

'p. so often designated, carries an In

timatlon or how uept-ntien: inss day of sad memories Ss i-jxn the bright-eyed blcssoms that serve as the most appropriate of alt tokens of remembrance To be sure, flags are a!so made use of

otenslvely on Memorial day not only in the ornamentation of dwelliags and places of business, but in marking the graves of fallen heroes whom it is desired to honor on thi cx-cssion. After all, however. It is flowers which are most extensively relied upon to express the sentiment of tie occasion. And la the broad term "lioweTs" are Included the flowering plants, the ivy and ether of nature's products that are employed to form the wreaths which are so ropular on Memorial day. All told there are infinitely more Cowers used on Memorial day than are employed at Easter and yet the general pub'ic does not hear so much of the Memorial day "tlower trade." cor have its magnitude so conspicuously bright home. The explanation Is fcind. of course, in the circumstance that the Easter flower trade is almost wholly In the hands of the professional florists

The bringing of flowers to the larger cities on Memorial dny has been further simplified by the fact that in many localities special flower trains are opprated by tho steam railroads and the Interurban trol-

At Meu.cr:a: day, on the o;br hand, the regular flower marts, although thy have a "rush season" In consequence of the holiday, supply but a fraction of the ßowers that are placed on the graves of the nation's warriors. 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 cultivation with a view to such ultimate use is as ' much a labor of leve ss is the strewing of the blossoms on the graves. Or. at least the Sowers are for the most part garden blooms rather than the frail products of the hot bouses. Indeed the selection of May 30 as Memorial day in a large proportion of the states of the union was made primarily because it was 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 assured an abundance of flowers at yet earlier dates, have, as much for this reason as for any other, choeea as Memorial day dates that seemed to mark the culmination of the Sloral flood la their respective states rather than strict conformity with the dato at the cad of May. which , is so universally observed in the eastern, norta'crn and west"rn states and In the wore northerly of the commonwealth s of Dixie. This will explain why certain of the states, notably taos? of the Gulf of Mexico, observe Memorial day day3 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 growicg more so as time goes on. At first suggestion of the occaion the reader is apt to think on'y of the custom of placing bouquets and wreaths la gr Hands on the , grassy mounds beneath which r-pose la their , last dreamleas sleep the boys in b!ue and gray , who gave up their lives la defense of their flag. But as a matter of fact it to a long-established 1 custom for the American peopio ganerally to , choose this occasion to place specially elaborate ' decorations upon tho graves of loved ones, oven , though those wbcee memory is thus honored had i naught to do with the stre&3 and strife, the j sacrifices of which Memorial day Is primarily Intended to commemorate.

One or the comparatively new uses of flowers oa Memorial day. which has grown greatly In recent years, is the custom of placing wreaths of floral festoons or other similar tributes upon the statues which have boon erected in the varioas American cities to oar war-time horoes. At the national capital, where there are more thaa two do?m such statues, the pedestals are also draped with American flegn. This decoration of the statues In parks and public buildings throughout the land Is, of course, quite asido from the usual placing of tributes at the graves of these self-same heroes. Another interesting and beautiful new use of fiowara oa Memorial

day Is found in tho practice of setting aiVat Lug-1 bisk 3 of tniaiature shij s !adt a with flowers as a tnbu'e to the American sailors wh i have given up their lives for the Stars and Stripes. These flowers are quickly borne

out of sight by the waves, and mayhap float out to sea, but the sentiment cf the occasion is served. As death has year by year remorselessly thinned the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Confederate Veterans and other organizations of one-time soldiers there has of necessity been a 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 was to have In each community on the significant day a procession to the cemetery in which the principal participants were little girls dressed in whito. each carrying a huge bouquet or basket of flowers and. marching beside or behind these flowpr bearers, an equal number of veterans, each with a wreath of evergreen or holly or Ivy on his arm. When the procession arrived at the cemetery the participants distributed themselves throughout the burying gTOund until a little girl with Sowors and a veteran with a wreath stood beside each grave marked with a tiny American flrg. Then at a prearranged s'iraa! all the flowers ami wreaths ware placed simultaneously upon the graves of the comrades whom death has "musternd outThis Iraprnsivo ceremony, and there could be nothing rao- appropriate. Is yet followed in countless co- muni ties, but there have bad to be many aodlf ''Hons. For one thing the graves to be decor- 'd have become much more numerous, wherer the number of surviving veterans who are ah to march to the ceme'ory with their wreaths has dwindled appreciably. A solution has hern found, la macy places, by drafting for this taslr members of the Soas of Vetera oh or other er" nizatloas mada up of children of old soldlerr tnd also veterans of the SpanishAmerican w - many of whom are comparatively young men t"4 who are sufScient'y numerous to de-orate the rares of their own fallen comrades rad a 'so tl- eating places of the hemes of the oarlier wars Another iictor that has operated to Influenco a change ie e ue of flowers on Memorial day Is the grow 'n the slse of many of our cities. In towns ar.r" nall cities It Is still practicable for the Decorr,"".n day host to march to the cemetery, but in all the larger cities It has become vor? much of a prob'era. In many Instances cemeteries are so remote from the central part of the city that It Is unwise to ask aged veterans to attompt to march and out of the question to allow flower girls of tender years to trudce throuch the streets forhours at a stretch. Consequently It has become customary tinder such circumstances to convey the flowers In quantities to the cemeteries and there distribute them to those who aro to participate In the decorating program. For this delivery of flowers tho modem motor car has proven a most convenient vehicle and In all our large cities on the morning of Memorial day one may now ace the heavily laden "flower cars" spinning along on their way to the cemeteries. The speedy horseless vehicles have also proven a boon la the collecting of the flowers for

lev lines In order to convey the tons of blooms reeded for the groat memorial ornamentation. Ar.1. speaking of the Interurban elec-.nc lines i' riay be added that these roads new mako It p4 Bible to decorate with flowors the graves of F..'uiers in many a country cemetery which, under tho old conditions, could not readily he i eat hod by members of the organizations of veterans and other bodies that aim to see to it that no soldier's grave Is unadorned on this significant occasion. Almost every known vnrlety 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 aro especially popular for this purpose. In the sections whero tho season Is sufficiently advancod tho roses and peonies are great favorites on this occasion and In the cooler climes violets and the hardy "pinks" are used extensively. In the more southernly states the yellow Jasmine and the honeysucklo make admirable Decoration day festoons and al Arlington and other great national cemeteries it seems as though Memorial day has been timed to find the gorgeous purple wistaria at the climax of Its glory. The mountain, laurel Is another floral favorite that lends Itself to the purposes of the holiday, but of course It Is not obtainable In all sections of the country. In recent years tho use 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 emblematic of war-time badges or flags. However, the "arf flower designs" of the present day aro 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 counterfeit nature, and this form Is of course very permanent, but most artistic effects of lasting character nre also being obtained by moans of fine waxed crepe paper flowers. Such designs are being omployed to an lncroaslng extent under all circumstances where it Is necessary to send Memorial day designs long distances. However, the White House at Washington, which sends such remembrances to various parts of tbo country, always employs natural flowers from the president's conservatories.
