Some Gigantic Floral Designs. - The great west has been developing at a marvelous rate in these later days and some big things have been brought out in the florist line, as well as in other directions. Probably the largest accom- plishment of the florists in the line of funeral pieces is shown in the accompa- nying illustration, which is from a pho- tograph taken recently of the front of the store of the Huddart Floral Co., at Salt Lake City, Utah. The memorial pieces were made for the obsequies of David McLaughlin, a well-known mining man of that city. It is probable that larger designs were never turned out in the west. The anchor shown in the illustra- tion was nine feet high on an easel. It was made for the Anchor Mining Com- pany. The gigantic"0" wasmadeforthe Qonceny Mining Company, and measured ten and one-half feet on its easel. There were a large number of other pieces, the Huddard Company, making in all over $500 worth of work for this one funeral. Pennsylvania Hor;icultural Society.
