JUNE’S FLORAL DISPLAY.

‘•Uncle John” Thorpe Provides a Fin* Programme for the Month. June is a fine month for flowers as as well as for weddings and will not be ignored by “Uncle John” Thorpe and his assistants. During the latter part of May the great flower beds about the big greenhouses have blossomed with a display of pansies and tulips that have challenged the admiration of observers. This month the pansies will be in all their glory. Tulips will be about out, but there are many other flowers to take their place. Peonies will be out in the greatest profusion. The big red and white blossoms will make the flower beds about the greenhouses look like natural carpets. On the wooded island all the hardy flowering plants will be in bloom and that will be the prettiest spot in the fair grounds. Boses will not he forgotten, nor will they be missed in the floral display for the month. The great variety of the flower affords a* opportunity for uncommonly fine displays, and the chances will be made the most of. Designs will be worked out in them, and the display will be literally “acres of roses.” Rhododendrons are flowers of great beiHity and adaptibility for display work, and they will be found by their admirers in profusion, fio will the campanulas, pretty, bell-ch aped blue flowers. So far no particular displays have been arranged for special days, but later such plans will ibe matured. All in all, the floral features for the mcosth of June will be unexcelled during .the time of the fair. It will be the month par excellence fer lovers ®f nature in flowers and foliage to go to Jadkson park.
