 He expects to be there until the 15th

The first cuts of pink chrysanthe- 

 mums appeared in the marlcet on the 

 5th inst. These were sent in by 

 George Bidden at Hatboro. The 

 variety was Unaka and were very 

 creditable specimens. George Auegle 

 our live commission man had no 

 trouble in selling these to his next 

 door neighbor Pennock Bros. These 

 live wires are always on the lookout 

 for the latest and best and never 

 allow any of the lesser lights to get a 

 show if they can help it. 



Our old friend Charles L. Seybold, 

 park superintendent of Wilkes-Barre 

 must be a busy man these days, look- 

 ing after old parks and making new 

 ones. We quote the following inter- 

 esting editorial from the Philadelphia 

 Record: 



It Is a rather curious coincidence 

 that there appeared in Sunday's 

 "Record" two interesting stories re- 

 garding Wilkes-Barre — one, profusely 

 illustrated, laying emphasis upon the 

 beautiful parks developed by the 

 Luzerne capital, and the other, a news 

 report, stating that a local million- 

 aire, Fre3 M. Kirby, after whom it 

 is proposed to name a fine community 

 park, intended to reciprocate by giving 

 $25i),000 as a fund for the proper main- 

 tenance of this pleasure ground. Thus 

 we see how civic virtue is its own re- 

 ward. Wilkes-Barre, a notably pro- 

 gressive city and finely located on the 

 Susquehanna, has spent its money 

 freely in providing attractive parks 

 for its people. Now some of this 

 comes back to it through the enter- 

 prise and public spirit of one of Its 

 own citizens, who will give a new 

 Impetus to the movement. The Inci- 

 dent is one which is commended to 

 the attention of other millionaires 

 who may be desirous of leaving some 

 memorial of themselves. There can 

 be no better one than a handsome 

 park, which will endure for centuries 

 to come. 



All of which is very true and very 

 well put and we pass same along to a 

 wider field than the local paper covers.

8th, takes a unique personality from 

 the glass world. For over a Quarter 

 of a century he has dominated the 

 business of manufacturing window 

 glass all over the United States and in 

 many foreign countries. He was the 

 foi-ward spirit for countless factories 

 and was ever in the lead for new and 

 better business. And as an entertain- 

 er at social functions of the trade he 

 was first, last and all the time, head 

 cook and bottle washer. He did all 

 the thinking and planning and all the 

 rest of the multitude had to do was 

 to come along to conventions and 



picnics and outings and enjoy them- 

 selves. They knew that if .Johnston 

 was handling it, nothing would be left 

 undone — and that there would be re- 

 freshing novelty, and genuine enthu- 

 siasm all along the line. A wonderful 

 spirit was J. R. Johnston — and few of 

 us will ever look on his like again.

 ness under the name of Woodman's
