Mrs. Glaus Has Anniversary. 



The local paper for the Tioga sec- 

 tion prints a good cut of the store of 

 Mrs. J. H. Glaus and the following note: 



"October 25, 1888, John H. Olaus, a 

 florist from among the foremost florists . 

 of Europe, started in business with a 

 small capital, at 1119 Koy street (at 

 that time Green street). He built three 

 small greenhouses, sixty feet in length, 

 which took all of his capital. This en- 

 terprising man at the end of the first 

 year developed the business to double 

 its size and had to enlarge the plant, 

 which consisted of six greenhouses, but 

 progress still went on until in 1892 he 

 opened his first store, at 1917 German- 

 town avenue. The business increased 

 until the premises at 1917 Germantown 

 avenue were too small. In 1899 he had 

 to move to larger quarters at 1959 

 Germantown avenue, where he had 

 been established two months when 

 death retarded his further progress. 

 But all this time he had a wife, who 

 took an exceptional interest in his af- 

 fairs and carried on the business where 

 he had left off. Mrs. Glaus had the 

 business experience of a veteran and 

 moved to the present location, 3450 

 Germantown avenue, in October, 1911, 

 where she has today one of the finest 

 flower shops uptown. October 24 and 

 25 they will have their twenty-fifth 

 anniversary, when a handsome souvenir 

 will be given to visitors." 



Canna Lilies. 



There is a romance about the Ghes- 

 ter valley that never fails to charm. 

 Whether it be the beauty of hill and 

 dale undulating in graceful curve as 

 far as one can see, or the picturesque 

 Brandywine and its branchlets, or the 

 hamlets and scattered farm-houses 

 with their air of peace and comfort, 

 contrasting happily with the bustle of 

 the cities, is hard to say. The romance 

 is there, and you feel it from the mo- 

 ment you leave Wawa on the journey 

 down that single-track road with its 

 occasional loops where another train 

 always whizzes past just at the right 

 moment, luckily for you and all your 

 fellow travelers. You are conscious of 

 the romance as the pretty school girls 

 glance shyly at you from the seata 

 near by, where they appear to be 

 studying their lessons with zeal, only

occasionally interrupted. The romance 

 is scarcely marred by the antics of the 

 school boys, which threaten to become 

 a riot when the conductor leaves the 

 car. On you go, past Chadd's Ford 

 Junction, where you wonder how long 

 the passengers left behind will have to 

 wait; through fields of corn to Kennett 

 Square, now an imposing town with 

 signs of business activity, aod down 

 the line to "West Grove, where a wait- 

 ing Jehu drove a passenger out to the 

 canna fields.
