SMOTHERED IN FLOWERS

As part of South Australia's centenary celebrations, Adelaide has decided on elaborate arrangements to transform itself, during the latter part of September, this year, into an enormous bower of millions of bloomna.

Besides floral displays on floats, lorries, cars and cycles in various processions, the main streets and even the tram-poles and statues are to be garlanded, Shops, houses and verandahs are to be smothered in blooms, flowers are to be planted in strips along the footpaths, and battles of flowers are to be held, according to recent decisions, says Avstral News.

Fancy-dress carnivals with dancing in the streets are to be held, flower girls will parate everywhere, and no mato citizen, it is forecast, will dare to appear without a buttonhole.
